• Dhaka Diaries: Thursday Doors-the Gate to Art, culture and Spring

  

  I love participating in Dan’s Thursday doors. ‘This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world.’ This week, I have just one door- actually, it’s a gate- the gate to the…

• Dhaka Diaries : A visit to the salon

  

  After spending one and a half months here, I finally decided to venture into a salon on the Thursday before last. I’d googled the ones close to home, read the reviews and eventually selected one. However, not too sure about how the salon would turn out to be, but knowing that I would have to…

• Thursday Doors: Dhaka’s beautiful doors (1)

  

  This is my first post in what I hope will be a series of posts on doors in Dhaka. People here believe in investing in doors. Doors here represent their purpose in every way – enormous in size, made of solid wood (teak and mahogany from Burma and Chittagong) or metal with security cameras and…
