By the time this issue of SHOUT goes out, it will have sunk in. But as I’m writing this, Bangladesh U19 men’s cricket team have won the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup less than 24 hours ago and I am unable to process this. It’s had the effect of making me smile every time my mind has drifted towards cricket this past day, and Akbar Ali’s heroics seems to be what everyone is talking about. What a time to be alive!

I walk into an art exhibition…

Two years ago, I was in a bad place, mentally. Life became mundane and grey. I went to Dhaka Art Summit dragging myself from underneath the covers, hoping for an afternoon that would distract me and frankly, give me something to do.

What to do with old tech

Everyone gets stuck with obsolete and unwanted tech, some of us shove them into a box and hoard it for months. Electronics aren’t meant to last forever and eventually all end up unwanted, so what do we do then?

Unconventional Subjects in a Conventional Society

Disapproving glances and doubtful frowns follow the not-so-average student in their despicable journey to higher education. Because the student, in this instance is one that has made the horrible decision of taking “easy” subjects. Where will the arts, humanities and languages ever get you?
