So my girl got called for an interview for air hostess at Biman Bangla. She survived 3 stages before, and now this is the final stage. So just help me understand the whole air hostess situation and things happening. I’ve heard a lot of unconventional things about this job, especially for stewardesses. I don’t want to go into details because I don’t want to demean any job, but a lot of people I talk to don’t see this job in a good light.

Also, let me share about the girl’s personality,she’s introverted, shy, and also dumb. But she looks fabulous. She told me she couldn’t speak in the first interview because she was so nervous, and the interview went really bad. But one thing she mentioned was that the interviewer kept complimenting her makeup and looks. Even though the first interview went horribly, she still got called for the second stage, which was written, and she also fumbled horribly there. But somehow, by some weird turn of events, she got called for the final interview. I’m not even surprised that she went through all this,you don’t have to be Sherlock to solve this shit.

I never really demotivated her on anything, including this air hostess thing, even though I was against it. I didn’t tell her because I thought she would get rejected, but seeing her winning streak is giving me cold feet now. Help me understand the situation in the industry. I want to stop this BS before it’s too late.

Suggest me some interesting movies

I graduated from one of these schools myself years back, then realized the socio-economic status is way way higher then the usual people.

I don't want to sound elitist, but there is a high gap in the mentality. I have seen many bangu people mostly, despise us and sub consciously envious of us.

So what do normal working class people usually think of these English medium students/ graduates ?

In my opinion, a "True Middle Class" never actually existed in Bangladesh. They are just a bunch of educated servants using a fancy title to feel special.

In a poor country, everyone was poor until a tiny 1% bought a second-hand Japanese car on a 5-year bank loan and started acting like royalty.

In Europe, the government covers health and education, so people can actually afford a "lifestyle." In Bangladesh, they don’t have a lifestyle; they have a "panic-style."

One bad fever or a job loss and they are back to the village. They don’t spend money to enjoy life; they hoard it like squirrels just to survive the next disaster.

They are basically the "Educated Lower Class." While Westerners buy comfort, these people buy "Respect."

They act bossy toward rickshaw pullers and housemaids just to prove they aren't "one of them."

Their whole identity is a desperate scream: "Look at my degree! I’m not a farmer! I wear a shirt with a collar!"

The joke is on them. A rickshaw puller has more hustle than a Master’s degree holder rotting in a cubicle.

They are in the same financial boat, but the "middle class" guy is too busy holding his tie to actually row.

Think about it. They buy an iPhone on a 2-year EMI while living in a room the size of a matchbox.

They spend half their salary on a fancy wedding in a "Convention Center" just to impress people they don't even like, then spend the next three years paying off the catering debt.

They even look down on plumbers who earn more than them simply because they get their hands dirty.

They aren't middle class; they are just broke with a very expensive ego.

Hi, I’m M22, HSC 2023, currently studying Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) Engineering at one of the country’s top and one of the most expensive private universities. I have an appointment at the German Embassy, and I’m hoping to receive the doc mail soon, followed by the interview. I’ve already received my offer letter from one of Germany’s top public universities for an Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng), and all my documents are ready.

I’m now wondering—should I leave Bangladesh? I’m still thinking about it, but I feel that going abroad could be a good choice. It doesn’t have to be a permanent goodbye, right? I could eventually obtain a German passport and return to Bangladesh if I want. That way, I’d also have the freedom to move back again anytime.

What do you guys think?

I’m in a situation where I know something is bad for me, and Ik it will harm me, but I keep doing it again and again. I realise it at the same time I’m doing it. Ik my life will be ruined if I stay stuck there, but at the end of the day, I still do the same thing and go back to it. I’m 19 right now. Should I see a psychiatrist? I can’t go alone..are there any online therapy options, or what can I do?

A girl in her mid 20s inherited around 10 Lakh Taka. How can she use this money to generate some monthly revenue for herself without seriously risking her inheritance?

Thank you

Hi, I'm an HSC 26 student myself, I was struggling to find past board questions, so I built a site which has past years board questions here :- Old Board Questions

I am from Khulna. University er jonno almost 6 months Dhaka te chilam, and honestly oi time e ekta jinis amar onek beshi feel hoise, traffic jam literally pura din er mood noshto kore dite pare. Prothom dike mone hoisilo maybe ami adjust kore nite parbo, but aste aste dekhlam daily routine, energy, even choto choto kaj o eta impact kore.

Shesh porjonto ami back chole ashi Khulna te, mainly ei jam er jonne. Kintu funny and kinda sad part hocche, eto bochor pore ekhon dekhi Khulna teo aste aste same jinis start hoitese. Oita dekhe abar Dhakar kotha mone porlo.

So genuinely curious, ekhon Dhaka te thaka manush der jonno everyday life er shobcheye difficult part ta ki? Just traffic jam, naki aro onek kichu ache jeta baire theke ashle fully bujha jay na? Like cost of living, exhaustion, people, time waste, mental pressure, or something else?

Bangladesh a ekta trend chalu ase, chele meye kisu bollei or nijer moto chailei baba ma bole boshe - chup thak, beshi bujhish? Ar baba me proudly shobaike bole beray baba ma ki sontaner kharap chay bolen.... ami jani amar sontaner jnno konta best.

Example: Ekjon cricket khub e valo khele, kintu take choto bela theke khelte na diye diye banano hoise lawyer. Ekhon she law career ow struggle kortese abar tar posonder cricket tao khelte parlona. Baba ma happy chele mash seshe 30/40K earn kortese. But cheletar dream, cheletar passion othoba cheletar career er kotha keu vablona.

Hoyto cheleta cricket khelle oto Shakib or Masrafee hoito na, but nijer life a happy to thakto. Abar shakib ba masrafee hole tar career kothay jaito.. You never know ultimtely you try. But, baba ma nij hate tar dream kill kore diye bollo baa ma sontaner valo chay. ETA KI THIK?

ইদানীং কোনো কিছুই ভালো লাগছে না। এইচএসসি (HSC)-র পর থেকেই জীবনটা ওলটপালট হয়ে গেছে। কী করব বুঝতে পারছি না। কোনো বন্ধু নেই, কারো সাথে কথা বলতে পারছি না। অ্যাডমিশনে ব্যর্থ হওয়ার কারণে আরও বেশি প্যারা খাচ্ছি। গেম কিংবা মুভি—কিছুই এখন আর ভালো লাগে না। এমনকি পুরনো শখের কাজগুলোর ওপর থেকেও মন উঠে যাচ্ছে। হুটহাট প্যানিক অ্যাটাক হচ্ছে, কী করব?

Kinda curious to know what everyone has to share on this matter because I've found myself in an interesting spot as of late. You see, I belong to family full of doctors and professionals adjacent to healthcare. My parents are both doctors, so are my chacha-chachi, mama-mami, khalamonis- pretty much everyone. They dont all live in bd but are scattered across the globe. My siblings and cousins are also following their footsteps and are either down that path doing MBBS or still in school dreaming. But me on the other hand, I had decided to stray away and go down the tech field. I'm pretty comfortable and make a decent living for myself doing remote stuff for NA companies. My pay is infact multiple degrees more than my elder sister and cousins who are doctors albeit, juniors.

Now, here's the thing. I have slowly evolved into the black sheep of the family. People dont make it obvious and say shit to me but I can feel the sublingual disrespect or disregard that lingers in the air whenever I'm around in gatherings or just even at home. Usually strangers or distant relatives sometimes will come across and ask "tumio ki dactari porcho?" with their eyes lit up only for it to disappear the very next second they hear "na". Parents boast about my sister with a chest full of pride but never for me ever since I decided to derail and choose something different. While I have never faced outright disrespect, it stings and rubs me wrong to be in this spot. I hate being the underdog.

Me and a few friends have been seriously making music for a while now. We’ve experimented across pop, hip-hop, and R&B, not just casually, but really trying to push quality, visuals, and overall presentation to a level that can stand next to what people consume globally.

Here’s what’s been bugging me:

There is an audience in Dhaka that listens to artists like The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, Charli XCX, modern, genre-blending, global sounds. You see it everywhere: Spotify, Instagram, playlists, parties. But when similar styles come from local artists (especially in English), it feels like that same audience just… doesn’t show up.

And it’s confusing.

Because on paper, we’re making music for that exact demographic. We’re not trying to imitate, we’re trying to contribute something fresh, with our own identity, but still within that modern sound space.

Still, it feels like:

- Either people don’t take local artists seriously

- Or we’re missing something fundamental about how to actually reach them

- Or maybe Dhaka’s listening habits are different than what they appear to be on the surface

So I wanted to ask honestly:

What does Dhaka actually listen to when it comes to local artists?

And if you personally enjoy international pop/hip-hop/R&B, what would make you give a Bangladeshi artist a real chance?

Would really appreciate any thoughts, even if it’s blunt. Trying to understand the gap here.

(If you’re someone working on music/content too, would love to connect as well.)

so today i came across a group on facebook called "BD Rap Posting", but i looked at some of the posts and it shocked me how many pro-islamic/jihadists were there. some group members even have khilafah flag in their cover. how r u pro-islam and establish khilafah while listening to Travis Scott and black streamers?? what? it's like prostitutes talking about religion. choose a side.
