Dhaka, Bangladesh

[khush-chronicles]

A brief history of Bangladesh and why it is relevant to the current situation

The Indian subcontinent liberated itself from the British in 1947. Two new countries were born, India and Pakistan. The Bangladesh we know today was a part of Pakistan.

In 1952, the students of Dhaka University, along with my other, marched on the streets, protesting that "Urdu"-the national language of Pakistan- would not be the national language of East Pakistan, now known as Bangladesh.

The reason behind this was that 52% of the people in the entire Pakistan spoke Bangla. There was no logic behind declaring Urdu as the national language of Pakistan as a whole. Much like India, there was no need to have a national language.

Students marched on 21st February, ignoring the red alerts. 7 students were martyred, shot by the police. But we protected our mother tongue, we established our rights, and their bloodshed was worth it.

Now, why is it relevant now? Because the history is repeating itself. Only Bangladesh's own government is playing the role of the autocratic Pakistani government. Worse, our prime minister is the daughter of the man who was the prime force behind the liberation of our country.

Bangladesh is the only country in the world that has 256 kinds of quotas reserved for various kinds of people. Even 10% for women. All are applicable at various levels, starting from primary school admissions to government jobs. 56% are reserved for quota holders altogether. 44% are for normal people.

Now, if it had been the other way around, no one would've been that angry. Bangladesh is a country of 200 million people. let's just say 1/4th of them are students. 50 million. The population of quota holders is 200 thousand. Is it not laughable? The 200 thousand students have the right to study, and get jobs and the remaining 49+ million have to fight for 44%? What kind of joke is this?

See the similarities? Trying to give everything to the minority?

The quota most applicable is the "freedom fighter" quota. The people who fought during the liberation war in 1971. Utmost respect and love towards them. But why should their grandchildren benefit from their participation? What is the guarantee that these grandchildren won't harm the country, the same country that was liberated by their grandparents' blood?

The freedom fighters who are still alive, they are ashamed. The population during the war was 70 million. 3 million were martyred. But more than half of the population fought, and the women gave shelter, food, and help in any way they could. Not every one of them collected their certificates. Most of them were illiterate, they didn't even know what a certificate was. And those who knew but didn't collect, and are alive, are saying that they didn't fight so their grandchildren could take advantage, they fought to save the country, they didn't fight for glory.

Our Prime Minister fled the country during the war. There are no records of her brothers fighting in the war either. Her father gave speeches in his white clothes but never picked up a rock to throw.

That aside, now students from almost every university in Bangladesh are protesting against the quota system. So many students cannot be wrong. And the government cannot again be right. It's the minority vs majority all over again.

Another uncanny similarity, 7 were martyred today. 16th July 2024, 7 were given their lives again, for the right study and do jobs and serve their country. What a downfall it is when our friends, seniors, and juniors are giving their lives, just for such simple rights. Where is democracy? Where is liberation? Is this what our grandfathers fought the war for?

The situation is worsening every hour. On 25th March 1971, Pakistani military forces raided homes. Not universities, not halls, HOMES. Of the general public. This was called "Operation Searchlight". No electricity, no light, no warning. Only breaking into homes and massacring men, women, children, and old, children without discrimination or thoughts. Again, something similar is happening.

There is this group called "Student League", they are students of various universities as well, but they are basically bootlickers of the prime minister. They follow whatever she says without any sense of morals.

The minister for education paid them to attack students in halls- confessed by a member of the Student League.

They entered the halls, and hospitals, beat up injured students, locked the hall rooms, and harassed the female students. The video clips that were shared, the screams of the girls, the way they were saying "Brothers save us", it's giving me goosebumps while I am typing it.

They stabbed many students who were returning home. They beat up many many girls who were silently standing by the roads. They harassed the general public.

Both sides are students. Only their teachings are different.

What's about to happen? How many more are dying? The internet connection is off. We can only access through VPN and Wifi. There is a red alert around the areas where most universities are situated. They are cutting off electricity where the protests happened and raiding houses. Again, the similarities. They are checking the homes of the general public if they are housing student protestors. If yes, the students are being dragged out on the roads. Where is freedom?

There is much more happening, which I am not even writing about right now. Much more to come.

Is this what Liberation is? Then I do not want it. If this is what freedom is, I would rather be in a cage.

My account isn't very big, but I am still posting about it. If yours is or if your friends' is, if you come across this post, spread it. Let the world know what an autocrat that woman is. What a tyrant she is.

PS: About a month ago Bangladesh was deemed "The most Peaceful Country in Asia" which is a blatant joke.

I have never been so ashamed and proud of my country at the same time.

Beef Tehari: A Taste of Dhaka’s Heritage on Every Plate

As a Dhaka native, my love for Beef Tehari isn’t just about the taste—it’s about the cultural memories and deep connection to the city where I was born and raised. For many Bangladeshis, and especially for those from Dhaka, Tehari is more than food; it’s a treasured part of our heritage. This fragrant, spiced rice dish, with its unmistakable aroma of tender beef and spices, transports me to the vibrant streets of Puran Dhaka (Old Dhaka), where Tehari recipes have been passed down through generations, each plate telling its own story of tradition and family.

A Flavor Rooted in History

Puran Dhaka is iconic for its culinary treasures, with Tehari at the heart of it all. The small Tehari stalls lining these old streets carry with them recipes that date back hundreds of years, kept alive through family legacies and shared with a love for good food. Walking through Puran Dhaka, you can smell the Tehari cooking from blocks away—its rich spices perfuming the air. Tehari here isn’t just made; it’s crafted, with each vendor carefully preserving the recipe techniques that have been passed down through generations. It’s the kind of food that draws people in, locals and tourists alike, all eager to get a taste of authentic Dhaka flavors.

Culinary Influences from Across Continents

Bangladeshi cuisine is a beautiful blend of indigenous spices and cooking styles enriched by influences from Persia, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent. Tehari embodies this fusion, merging Mughal cooking techniques with local ingredients like mustard oil, green chilies, and our beloved spices. While similar to biryani, Tehari stands apart in that it doesn’t involve marinated meat; instead, the beef is cooked directly with the spices, allowing the rice to soak in the rich oils and flavor from the beef. The result? A dish with an irresistible depth of flavor, distinctly Bangladeshi in every way.

A Symbol of Togetherness in Bangladeshi Culture

In Dhaka, sharing a plate of Tehari is like sharing a piece of our culture. It’s a meal that brings people together for every kind of celebration, whether it’s Eid, a family gathering, or even an everyday meal with friends. As a Dhaka native, this dish has been part of nearly every special occasion in my life, connecting me to my heritage with each fragrant, flavorful bite. The process of preparing Tehari can be almost ritualistic, with every family adding its own touch. For me, Tehari is a taste of home, a reminder of all the times I’ve shared it with family and friends.

Here’s My Recipe for Authentic Dhaka-Style Beef Tehari

If you want to experience Tehari the Dhaka way, here’s an authentic recipe that captures the flavors of Old Dhaka. Cooking Tehari might seem complex, but trust me, it’s worth the effort. Each bite will bring you closer to the heart of Bangladeshi cuisine. I am also going to include a video that shows the cooking process in detail so that it is easier for you to recreate this at home!

Ingredients:

1teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon coriander 2-3 stick of cinnamon, 2 inches each 3-4 green cardamom 5-6 black pepper ½ teaspoon nutmeg ½ teaspoon mace ¾ cup Mustard oil 1 cup Onion, sliced 2 lb Beef, small pieces 2 tablespoon ginger paste 2 tablespoon garlic paste ½ cup yogurt 2 bay leaves 6 cups water 1 cup milk 3 cups basmati or kalijeera rice 8-10 green chilies Salt, according to taste

Instructions 1)Take cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg, mace and grind. 2)Wash the meat and drain all water. 3)Take the pot where tehari will be cooked. Heat oil on medium flame. 4)Add thinly sliced onion and sauté until fragrant and golden brown. 5)Add meat, ginger and garlic paste, yogurt, 1-teaspoon salt, bayleaves and the ground spice. 6)Cook in medium heat for about 25-30 minutes until beef is cooked and tender. 7)Add a cup of water little by little and stir the meat occasionally. 8)Separate meat keeping the gravy and spices in the pan. Set aside meat. 9)Add remaining water and milk to the pan and bring to boil. Add salt. 10)Add washed and drained rice and cover. Once the water boils again, add the whole green chilies and cook in medium heat. 11)When rice is about 50% done, add the meat. Mix carefully so that rice does not become smashed and cook covered in medium-low heat. 12)Turn off stove but keep lid on for 15-20 minutes before serving. 13)Serve with salad, kabab and chutney.

The Dhaka Experience on a Plate

Serve your Tehari with a simple side of fresh yogurt based salad (raita), or chopped onion bits for an authentic Bangladeshi touch. There’s something deeply comforting and nostalgic about this dish. Every time I take a bite, I’m transported back to the bustling streets of Puran Dhaka, where Tehari has been perfected over centuries.

Beef Tehari isn’t just food—it’s a taste of my heritage, my memories, and the stories of generations before me. It’s a reminder that I’m part of something bigger, a rich cultural tapestry woven with flavors and shared meals that make us who we are.

This photo was shot on a rainy day in a street in Dhaka. I saw this rickshaw puller taking shelter from the rain in his rickshaw, trying to save himself from the rain. The longing on his face made me emotional.

EMBRACING SIMPLICITY: ASHRAFUL AREFIN’S FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY TALE

In the realm of fine art photography, Ashraful Arefin, hailing from Dhaka, Bangladesh, has a unique gift for transforming everyday moments into extraordinary art. Born on May 3rd, his photographic journey began in 2013 with a 365-day project that ignited a deep passion for photography.

This image was shot in the river Yamuna, Delhi. I saw this man rowing his raft filled with trash collected from the river. Suddenly there were migratory birds surrounding him in search of food. I found it really interesting and he looked like a character from a storybook.

This image was shot during the Durga Puja festival in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Pizza Roma

Pizza Roma is a family owned and operated business.

We endeavour to bring to Dhaka the type of pizza you get on any street corner in Rome.

Roman pizza has a thin, crisp crust and is bursting with flavor. It is cooked for just a few minutes in a very, very hot oven.

While we are a classic pizzeria catering to the Italian community, we also serve a wide range of tastes, both international and domestic.

All our pizzas are 100% Halal and (in our humble opinion) delicious!

Reykjavik’s Wonders: Exploring Iceland’s Capital and Beyond

As a Bangladeshi traveler, Reykjavik offers a stark contrast to the bustling cities of South Asia. Known for its stunning natural landscapes and a unique mix of Nordic culture, Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, is the gateway to an otherworldly adventure. From vibrant city streets to mesmerizing natural wonders, Reykjavik is a place where modernity meets the untouched wilderness, a dream destination for those seeking something truly different.

Arrival in Reykjavik: First Impressions of the Northern City

Reykjavik, with its colorful houses and clean, minimalist streets, presents a picture-perfect contrast to the dynamic, bustling cities of Bangladesh like Dhaka. The fresh air, open spaces, and peaceful atmosphere make for a relaxing entry into Iceland. Despite being the capital, Reykjavik feels more like a quaint, charming town than a city. Its population is small, and the friendly locals welcome you with a warmth that defies the often-cold weather.

For a Bangladeshi traveler, Reykjavik’s calmness is a pleasant surprise. The rhythm of life is slower, and there’s an inherent respect for nature that you feel almost immediately. As you stroll through the city, you’ll notice the skyline is dominated by the towering Hallgrímskirkja, Reykjavik’s iconic church, which offers panoramic views of the entire city from its bell tower. This is a perfect way to begin your exploration.

Hallgrímskirkja: A Modern Architectural Marvel

Standing tall at 74.5 meters, Hallgrímskirkja is the tallest church in Iceland and one of the city’s most recognized landmarks. Its design, inspired by Iceland’s volcanic landscape, is minimalist yet powerful. For a Bangladeshi traveler, the striking simplicity of Hallgrímskirkja’s architecture is quite different from the ornate mosques and temples back home.

Climb to the top of the tower for breathtaking views of Reykjavik’s colorful rooftops, the Atlantic Ocean, and, on a clear day, even the distant mountains. The sight is a stunning juxtaposition of urban life and the untamed wilderness that defines Iceland.

Harpa Concert Hall: A Cultural Beacon

Another standout structure in Reykjavik is the Harpa Concert Hall, a modern masterpiece of glass and steel that sparkles by the waterfront. Opened in 2011, Harpa has become a symbol of Reykjavik’s cultural and artistic life. The building’s façade, made up of geometrically shaped glass panels, reflects both the sky and the sea, creating a visual spectacle that changes with the shifting light.

Inside, Harpa hosts everything from classical concerts to contemporary music festivals. As a Bangladeshi traveler, the experience of visiting a place like Harpa highlights the global nature of art and culture. Whether you attend a performance or simply admire the architecture, it’s a must-visit spot in the city.

Exploring Reykjavik’s Streets: Art, Culture, and Cuisine

Reykjavik’s streets are lined with cafés, boutiques, and galleries, making it a vibrant place to explore. Wander through Laugavegur, the city’s main shopping street, where you’ll find a mix of local crafts, designer goods, and cozy cafés. Unlike the bustling bazaars of Bangladesh, Reykjavik’s shopping scene is laid-back, offering a curated selection of Icelandic woolen goods, handcrafted jewelry, and quirky souvenirs.

Icelandic cuisine is another highlight. While fish is a staple, adventurous travelers might want to try traditional dishes like hákarl (fermented shark) or skyr, a type of yogurt-like cheese. For a more familiar flavor, you’ll also find plenty of international food options, from pizza to sushi. As a Bangladeshi traveler, trying new foods is part of the adventure, and Reykjavik’s mix of local and global flavors is sure to offer something exciting for your taste buds.

Day Trips from Reykjavik: Iceland’s Natural Wonders

While Reykjavik itself is charming, the true magic of Iceland lies beyond the city. Just a short drive away are some of the most extraordinary natural wonders you’ll ever encounter.

The Golden Circle: A Must-See Journey

The Golden Circle is one of the most popular day trips from Reykjavik, and for good reason. This route covers three major attractions:

Þingvellir National Park: A UNESCO World Heritage site, Þingvellir is where Iceland’s parliament was established over 1,000 years ago. The park sits between two tectonic plates, offering a unique opportunity to walk through the continental divide. As a Bangladeshi traveler, the scale and geological significance of Þingvellir is awe-inspiring, a reminder of the natural forces shaping our planet.

Geysir Hot Springs: The namesake of all geysers, Geysir is a geothermal wonder. While the original Geysir erupts infrequently, its nearby counterpart, Strokkur, shoots boiling water into the air every few minutes, reaching heights of up to 30 meters. The raw power of the earth beneath your feet is palpable and unlike anything you’ll find in Bangladesh’s more tropical climate.

Gullfoss Waterfall: Known as the “Golden Falls,” Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. The thundering water cascades down in two tiers into a deep canyon, creating a misty spectacle that is both beautiful and humbling.

The Blue Lagoon: A Geothermal Spa Experience

A visit to the Blue Lagoon is a quintessential Icelandic experience. Located about 45 minutes from Reykjavik, this geothermal spa is set amidst a lava field, with warm, milky blue waters rich in minerals. As a Bangladeshi traveler, accustomed to the tropical climate and coastal waters of Cox’s Bazar or the Sundarbans, the Blue Lagoon’s soothing, warm waters in the midst of a volcanic landscape are a surreal experience.

Spend a few hours here soaking in the healing waters, applying a silica mud mask, and taking in the ethereal surroundings. The Blue Lagoon offers a perfect blend of relaxation and natural beauty, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated.

Northern Lights: Chasing Nature’s Most Spectacular Show

If you’re visiting Reykjavik between September and April, don’t miss the chance to witness the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). The dark winter nights provide the perfect backdrop for this natural phenomenon, where vibrant hues of green, pink, and purple dance across the sky.

For Bangladeshi travelers, who may not have seen this celestial spectacle before, the Northern Lights are a once-in-a-lifetime experience. While sightings are never guaranteed, there are guided tours from Reykjavik that increase your chances by taking you away from the city’s light pollution.

Practical Tips for Bangladeshi Travelers in Reykjavik

Weather and Packing: Iceland’s weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy walking shoes. The cold, especially in winter, is much more intense than what we experience in Bangladesh.

Transportation: Reykjavik is a walkable city, but renting a car is the best way to explore Iceland’s natural wonders. If you’re not comfortable driving in winter conditions, guided tours are readily available.

Currency and Costs: Iceland can be expensive, especially dining out and accommodation. Consider budget options like hostels or guesthouses, and try local supermarkets for affordable meals.

Cultural Etiquette: Icelanders value sustainability and environmental consciousness. Be mindful of littering and respect local customs, especially regarding nature conservation.

Travel Agencies: Simplifying Your Icelandic Adventure

To make the most of your trip, especially for first-time visitors, travel agencies can offer curated experiences that ensure you don’t miss out on Reykjavik’s wonders and Iceland’s natural beauty. Roomchai Limited, Nordic Escapes, and Ice Trek Tours provide excellent services, offering personalized itineraries for Bangladeshi travelers. Roomchai Limited, in particular, stands out with its focus on ensuring a hassle-free experience, from arranging guided tours to helping you chase the Northern Lights or relax in the Blue Lagoon.

Conclusion: Reykjavik, A Gateway to the Extraordinary

Reykjavik is more than just Iceland’s capital; it’s a stepping stone into a world of extraordinary natural beauty and Nordic culture. As a Bangladeshi traveler, the experiences here—whether it’s the city’s modern marvels or the otherworldly landscapes—are unforgettable. Reykjavik’s wonders, both within the city and beyond, offer a glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty of our planet, a journey you’ll cherish long after you leave.

Dhaka, a timeless tapestry.

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh,

It is as ancient as it is old.

A city that shares a rich history of culture, tradition and rituals,

One which has many stories untold.

In the heart of this ancient city,

Where rivers and lakes merge its thread,

Dhaka stretches wide,

Where history and cultures are wed.

The streets of Old Dhaka murmur with tales of legends and history,

While New Dhaka rises, with crystal clear visions built in glory.

In the quarters of history and culture,

Narrow lanes hum with life’s embrace,

Where mosques, churches, and temples stand side by side,

As a testament of its grace.

Smells of spices mingle in the air,

Portraying the rich flavour of cultural delight.

Each corner tells a different story,

Bringing forth a new legend every night.

While one side of the city holds its history,

The other side holds the power of mystery.

Where big skyscrapers and modernity soars,

Pictures of technology and development roars.

Yet true to their origin, both share the same passion.

Passion about shared cultures and varieties of food.

Like a treehouse made with different kinds of wood.

Old Dhaka is where each cup of tea and biryani's rich aroma,

Talks about the ancient wisdom that stays.

New Dhaka is where the pace may change, but the essence remains.

Dhaka is a tapestry of past and present intertwined,

Where history and modernity seamlessly align.

Its lanes, cultures, and traditions are eternal, like an ever-pulsing beat,

The city’s story unfolds, both timeless and sweet.
