Int'l Youth Day
Youth has been defined as the supreme strength of society. Youth is the token of a dream where the theme is novelty and creativity.

Poet
Shamsur Rahman
It's a sad day for lovers of literature in general and poetry in particular, regardless of geographic or political boundary, to have to say goodbye to poet Shamsur Rahman.

The roots
Jatra, an indigenous, open-stage popular play of rural Bengal, is now inhaling its last breathes due to negligence, cultural decay and fundamentalism.
 
Legal status of ‘living together'
The phrase 'Living together' goes with the sense of cohabitation between an adult male and a female who are not united by lawful marriage.
 
Racist umpire
The incident at the Brit Oval during the Pakistan-England match was a clear indication that racism is still a factor in world cricket.
 
Thanks, Mr. Lifschultz
Thanks to Mr. Lawrence Lifschultz for his write-up entitled "The Taher I knew" (DS, July 23).
 
BoI-CPD
I do not want to say that Mr. Mahmudur Rahman did the right thing.
 
Dramas and ads
I am quite shocked seeing some advertisements on Bangladeshi channels, which use offensive words. It is also noticeable that some TV drama serials use vulgar words.
 
Confused viewer
I was just watching a TV show in a private channel. It was about picking a very glamorous girl from a bunch and ultimately shooting her to stardom. These sorts of programmes are on the rise.
 
Transhipment of Indian goods
Bangladesh is almost totally surrounded by India from the west, north and east.
