The other side of the road... I had been off from all online platforms for a while and out here enjoying nature. It felt so refreshing, to escape all the hustle and bustle of my daily city life and have a moment there! *Indeed, the Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side.* We have been to some places, visited a few relatives' houses, and went to some tourist spots. I would like to share them gradually. I was absorbed by all the things going around at that time, I didn't…

What an 'Open Market' looks like in my locality. Weekly haat/open market is a very popular concept in rural Bangladesh. Haat means an open market in Bangla where sellers from different areas join to showcase their products and a huge crowd usually forms to buy their necessary products. I had no idea that I would witness something similar in the city. To my wonder, this Haat is much bigger and way more popular. This haat was organized for many years, in this area called…

A Day in the Eco Park. Last week we went to this beautiful eco park, named 'Zinda Park'. Zinda means 'Alive' in our language and I think it's a perfect naming of the place. The park is surrounded by a huge lake, there are a lot of small ponds and thousands of trees. It's a green village in the heart of the city where you will hardly get any city noises but birds chirping. Moreover, the park is packed with many significant spots where you can observe the eco architecture. Let…

“How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!” Seeing the changing color of the sky and the surrounding of the mountain was one of the best experiences I ever had. It feels like every hour the hills come up with a different look and the very same place looks like a whole other world! I have been to mountains a few times but living on the peak of the hill for two days was quite an experience. I have seen the same place, and how it changes color from dawn to dusk. I'm…

Great food with real local flavor. **Food tastes better when you eat with your family.** *There's an advantage of living far away from home and that is, getting a warm welcome from everyone with good food in every meal!* Whenever we visit home, it's usually after a few months, we get many invitations from our relatives to have a meal at their home. In our culture, it's not just a tradition but a ritual to put an effort to cook different kinds of dishes to welcome the guests.…

'Saree' Shopping haul. *Saree is one of our female traditional wearings and I love it. If you are not familiar with it then you will be amazed to see how a single piece of clothing can be so artistically worn and the detailed designs on the clothing.* During any festival, it's a must to wear a saree and gift others. I have done some saree shopping last April at our popular local brand store called Aarong. Let me show you my haul. Aarong is known for its handicraft products,…

Things to explore @Jomgram village for the best rural life experience. The scenic view of Jomgram is what I would like to call 'natural beauty.' It's just another typical village located in the Northern part of Bangladesh. There's nothing extraordinary but the regular lifestyle of the villagers is what made our tour exciting. If you take a cycle tour inside the village or walk around; you will see some activities that we can hardly see in the cities. To me, the best way to…

A relaxing shopping day at the mall. It was a random outsing day. A few of our cousins planned to meet up for a long time and decided to explore the mall together. It was raining that day, so the mall was almost empty. And I loved it. It felt like we were all alone in the mall and got the time to browse some products while chatting with each other. We bought some random stuff, for example, some hair bands, and a mini purse bag, my cousin sister bought a scarf, my brother…

A fun day at the 'Kids Time Fair' with my son. The joy of motherhood reaches the top by seeing our little one's happy face, no? Spending a quality day out with my junior, and having fun together is what feels much more fulfilling than anything. Recently, we went to the 'Kids Time Fair'. It was kind of a mom-and-son play date for us. My husband was busy and I decided to go with my son to make his day special. Let me show you a glimpse of the fair. The fair was arranged by a…

'Maranta' Repotting | Givivng it a last hope. *Tell me I'm not the only one who finds her indoor plant dead after coming back from a long vacation!* I was always very concerned about this new addition to my home plant, Maranta. I bought a perfectly healthy plant but after repotting it was showing brown leaf. I didn't what Google was saying me to do. But after coming back from my hometown, I found it was very dry and almost dying. I replaced it in a self-watering pot but…
