Honestly, I just went to watch the movie in theaters because I had a bad day and wanted to reset my mood. I just booked the ticket online randomly while going home on the bus. But oh boy, am I GLAD. Why you ask? Lemme break it down in DETAILS :D

My 3-Week IELTS Academic Preparation: 8.0 on First Attempt!

My 3-Week IELTS Academic Preparation: 8.0 on First Attempt!

Miraculously, I somehow managed to get an 8.0 on my first attempt at the IELTS Academic exam with just three weeks of preparation! I had such little time to prepare because I registered for it around that time and didn’t realize it is going to be a difficult test. So many people told me that it is not so hard of an exam and anyone can get a 7 in it. Believing them, I didn’t bother that much…

আমি যেভাবে ১০টি ধাপে বাংলাদেশী পাসপোর্ট পেলাম

এ বছরের ফেব্রুয়ারীতে অনলাইন অ্যাপ্লিকেশনে বাংলাদেশী পাসপোর্ট পাওয়ার ধাপ নিয়ে বানানো অনেক ভিডিও এবং অনলাইন লেখা পড়ার পরেও আমি সঠিক তথ্য পাচ্ছিলাম না। মূলত সেগুলোতে দেওয়া প্রায় সব তথ্যই পুরনো হয়ে গিয়েছিল যা আমি বুঝতে পেরেছি প্রথম ধাপে ভুল করেই। মার্চের শেষে এসে সফলভাবে পাসপোর্ট হাতে পাবার পর মনে হলো, নতুন যারা পাসপোর্ট নিতে চান তাদের জন্য আমার নিজের অভিজ্ঞতা-টুকু ছবি-সহ ধাপে ধাপে বর্ণনা করলে ভালো…

A Marvel Fan: Why I Loved The SnyderCut

Marvel or DC? Why not BOTH!

It’s been a long time since I watched a movie from the DC Universe and it made me genuinely love the product. There were many lukewarm movies sporadically spread throughout the last half of a decade. However, nothing came close to making me rewatch it immediately. And then, came the SnyderCut. And yes, it was a 4-hour-long epic. Continue reading

An Unloved Child

I have been dangerously close to insanity the last few days.

Like every other month, I was deeply optimistic and excited about the new month of October. In fact, I probably took a bit too much on my plate for this month. I decided to put some life on this blog again (sorry for being absent for two months btw), learn to draw or paint for Inktober and FINALLY meet the work deadlines since I do…

What if you die tomorrow?

Has the current pandemic prevailing over six months put this thought in your head? Here's my two cents regarding the subject.

I never realized how much I love my life until this pandemic happened. Sure, the first few days were extremely hard because of the misunderstandings and toxic nature in my house – both of which have been pretty prevalent in these surroundings since my teenage days.

However, as time went on and people started dying for real in our locality, I started pondering over these questions: “What if I…

One Fine Dream With My Late Grandfather

One Fine Dream With My Late Grandfather

One not so fine day, it struck 2PM in the afternoon clock. I already woke up late that morning and found a message sitting on my emails saying the client wants more keyword placements. 

The night before that, I stayed up past 2AM to complete this particular assignment and was already irritated by it. Because this client didn’t even know what TOPIC or TITLE he wants me to write on! I gave him…
