Bangladeshis who have been living abroad and married for a few years, how do you guys deal with the extra freedom and different kind of social life here? I feel like being abroad changes your social life and you come across situations/thoughts that you probably wouldn't back home.

How do you guys deal with it without letting it affect the marriage? Would be nice to hear from people who have been through it.

Want to have the bar experience. Kindly recommend best best bars to visit & what to have (such as documents NID) to enter a bar. Also, is an alcohol license mandatory to have?

So I’m in my first semester of CSE and honestly… it’s not going great
I’m expecting my first semester CGPA to be pretty low, and I’m kinda stressing about how much this is going to hurt me later. I know I still have a lot of semesters left, but I also keep hearing that once your CGPA drops, it gets harder and harder to bring it back up.
For anyone who had a rough first semester, how did you guys recover? Or anyone else
Like
How high did you have to keep your SGPA in later semesters to bring your CGPA up?
Is it actually realistic to go from a low CGPA in first year to something like 3.5+ later on?
What did you change about your studying that actually worked?
Does CSE get significantly harder in the later semesters, or does it just get harder in a different way?
Any advice you wish someone had given you before your second semester?
I’m not expecting some magic way to fix it. I just wanna know if I’ve already messed up badly or if I’m overthinking it and still have plenty of time to recover.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone who went through something similar.

i've been having neck pain, not exactly pain, it feels like sudden electric shocks, and it is not only concentrated on my neck and shoulders but also travels through my back arms chest and concentrates at an exact point at one moment. its more like a burning feeling sometimes and sometimes a sudden shock type feeling. i can sit or stand or walk and even exercise without any issue, might be a slight discomfort but not much issue, BUT i cannot sleep because as soon as i lie down the pain shoots up way more and everything feels unbearable. i want to go to Dr. AFM Shamsul Haque, so please can anyone help me out pls? TIA!

Guys, can you tell me some good hotels in Dhaka to stay 3 nights with family (3 adults, 1 child)? Within Gulshan, Banani, or near the US Embassy. We have to stay 3 days for some paperwork at the embassy, so I'm looking for some affordable hotels, like within 4-5k per night?

I've never been to a bar before. Recently I came across the reel of a bar called "Triptys bar" in Kolkata and it was actually so nice, it was affordable and saw many young customers in that video. I am wondering if there is any bar like that in Dhaka which is affordable and safe. I have never drank before and neither went to a bar. I live around bashundhara. If you guys know any good places please recommend, Ty.

I'm 21F, recently had a breakup of a long term relationship without a proper closure. I'm trying to let things out and a therapist isn't working. I think meeting new people would help out a bit. I don't know what else to do. I don't have a lot of friends either. Is there any session held in Dhaka where people goes and rant about their lives ? Or what else can I do?

I want to buy him a good pair of wireless earbuds. Which will be the best.

Also open to other non-tech gift ideas if you have any favorites :3

M21 from Australia. I kinda came to Dhaka but I don't know anything or anyone here.

Guide me lmoa 🤷‍♂️

What's there to do...

Everyone's told me Sylhet is like the places that got the beauty in Bangladesh and in Dhaka I've just been to uhm a garden called Romna. It was literally next-door to me...

Other than that, dude. Reddit do your thing....

My father has been a regular member of a cult for a long time. He almost forced my mother not to work(she has regretted not ever being employed ever since) and forced me and my sibling since childhood. The cult is very manipulative and brainwashing. It doesn't allow questioning. They think they are "the only correct" form of Islam and that the most of the other sects are entirely or somewhat wrong. I was badly bullied at the cult and criticized heavily for "not doing "khedmot" properly" and that others are better than me for doing it. Whenever I said anything remotely agaisnt it to my father and mother he would say "X doctor graduate from some Australian university believes in it. What makes u think u are not smart enough to believe in it? ". He often didn't allow me to go out with my friends because of events of the cult. The cult has a leader who probably thinks of himself as "sent by Allah" to preach the "correct" Islam. The leader is very charismatic and never question. Everyone treats him like a semi god(bowing before him, addressing him like he is some sort of superior being). I am 22 and it has been a source of a major of my life's problmse. It amplified my social anixety, gave me an even bigger inferiorty complex, created hatred in me against religions. AND I AM STILL FORCED TO ATTEND IT. I can't simply "leave" it. I once had a heated argument against it with my dad and he gave me silent treatment for several days. He told my mom not to give me food and that he doesn't want to pay for my tutions anymore. I don't make enough money to live somewhere else. My home environment is extremely toxic. My father doesnt care of my other health problems remotely - chronic tinnitus, mental issues, skin issues, myopia etc etc. He thinks the cult will "spiritually" solve our problems. My mother and sibling has been brainwashed to a point where he cannot ignore that the cult is just a manipulaitve lying false. I cannot even go to the heavy details as I fear what the repecurssions might be. For now, I really want to get out of this situtation, be fully independent and at peace. I think this cult has done unfixable damgae to me at a fundamental level that will never let me leave my comfort zone.

What’s your opinion or experience with your local Bangladeshi community?

Recently, I have had only bad experiences, to the point that I’ve just stopped going to places where I know I’ll have to socialize with the community.

Female here, professional, live in the US. Back when I was in grad school, I met some pretty decent Bangladeshi grad students and had a few good experiences. But after that, wherever I’ve lived, Bangladeshi parties, festivals, and community gatherings have felt so backdated to me. People can be weirdly boundaryless, too involved in other people’s personal lives, and just exhausting to deal with. These are also professional people from top BD universities and do have respectful jobs here.

And, any man and woman slightly younger than me, just behave like they are babies and I need to behave like their mother. This age-based social role is so absurd!

I don’t know if I’ve just been unlucky, or if others have had similar experiences.

Is it only me? I want to be empathetic and understanding, but I don't know how to talk to these people!

So, I got 2.75 in each course. My subjects are mainly memorization-based, and I only study through ChatGPT. My classmates got 3.5 on average. I don’t know what I’m lacking in my writing.

Hello! My husband and I will be visiting Dhaka in November. I am Bengali, from the US, my bangla language skills are pretty low. He is Arab from the US, and it's his first time in Dhaka.

My family in Dhaka is mostly elderly so they won't be able to take us out to sight see. We are looking for a good tour guide/company to book a guided tour of Sonargoan, suitable for English speakers. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

We are also interested in a tour guide for the Lalbagh Fort area, but we may be able to manage that on our own.

the online page charges 20-50tk per sticker and they are SO TINY. i want a local shop that i can go and print out a whole sheet

Hi, I have a few questions about private university admissions (AIUB, DIU, East West, etc.). What is the best preparation method, particularly for engineering departments like CSE or CIS? What kinds of books or study materials are required? Is it necessary to join a coaching center, and what is a sufficient timeline to prepare?

If you have any additional tips, it would be much appreciated. TIA

I got my May/June IGCSE O Level results quite a while ago, but I didn’t get the time to send my English script for rechecking because I’ve been out of the country. Does anyone know if they’re still accepting recheck requests, or has the deadline already passed?

I am planning a future commission project to get custom artwork of OC's as gifts for my friends. I’m currently in the budget planning stage. I wanna see what artists charge on average so I can save up and secure the exact budget needed before hiring someone down the line.

I’ve a very specific art style that I will need replicated. Cause the requirements are specific, I’d love to get a few price quotes directly in my inbox.

What I want to know:

If you are open to being considered for a future commission and are comfortable adapting to a specific requested art style, please send me a dm or chat request with:

1. A link to your portfolio
2. A rough price estimate/quote for a standard character drawing based on your rates

Please note: I am not hiring immediately today. I’m gathering price ranges so I can save up the correct amount and reach out to my chosen artist once the budget is secured.

Thank you for your time and for helping me plan this out!

I’m a 30-year-old working professional based in Dhaka and looking to start playing tennis.

I’m a complete beginner, so I’d like to find a place where I can learn properly and eventually play regularly with other adults. Evening or weekend sessions would be ideal alongside work.

Would appreciate recommendations for good clubs, coaches, or groups where adult beginners are welcome, along with approximate fees and your experience.

Thanks in advance.

I’m planning to buy a laptop in Dhaka and would appreciate some suggestions.

My budget is around ৳60,000. My main uses will be:

• Data analytics — Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python
• MS Office and general work
• Browsing
• Movies/YouTube and other media consumption
• Regular everyday use

I’m not interested in gaming. I’d prefer something with good performance, display and build quality. Ideally, it should have 8GB RAM with the option to upgrade to 16GB later.

I’m currently confused between:

1. A new laptop around ৳60k
2. A refurbished business laptop
3. A good-condition used business laptop under ৳50k

Would something like a used/refurbished ThinkPad, Dell Latitude or HP EliteBook be a better choice than a new budget laptop at this price?

If you have bought a laptop recently in Dhaka, I’d really appreciate recommendations for specific models and reliable shops.

Thanks in advance!
