Boat tour over Buriganga river at sunset:



The reason I'm here in 35+ degrees heat and 80% humidity- its ideal condition for ripening of my favourite fruit that I hvn't had in 11 yrs, Kathal or Jackfruit:

Boshundhara City in Dhaka- some 8 level central air conditioned shopping complex supposed to be one of the largest in Asia.


Food court of Boshundhara city occupies an entire floor and has international cuisine- all of them serve the same menu of burgers, fries, pizza, fried chicken and all kinds of bengali food like chotpoti, fuchka, faluda

'Cute' is a cosmetic brand in Bangladesh. But in this case the name might be its downfall.


More updates soon.
