WHAT'S INSIDE 'LIFE AND STYLE'
A whole year passes waiting for the glimpse of a crescent moon.
This festival is about love for everyone, a time to forget differences and come closer to one another.
It is a celebration of life itself.
Life and Style reflects these very moments of life and living.
The first issue of the magazine is carefully crafted with festive colours, keeping readers' preferences in mind.
The tradition of Iftar in Chawkbazar has been ongoing since the ancient Dhaka period.
During the Mughal era, Iftar gatherings featured different types of kebabs.
Along with a look into Dhaka’s 400-year-old Iftar tradition, the magazine also tells the stories of “Dhakai Eid” and “Changing Days of Celebrations”.
There are also heartwarming articles like “Father’s Eid” and “Waiting for Mother”, which will surely evoke memories.
Reading the piece titled “Waiting for Mother”, you might feel a wave of nostalgia as it tells the story of an “anonymous” child.
Abdun Noor Tushar, a well-known host and debater, is also the father of a special needs child.
In this issue, he shares essential things to remember for the parents of children with special needs.
Much has changed with time—the vibe of the festival, the way joy is expressed, and the essence of the celebration.
Yet, some memories remain untouched, transporting us back to the golden past.
Celebrated actors like Abul Hayat, Shampa Reza, Dilara Zaman, and Dolly Zahur share their memories of the golden days of Eid.
Their nostalgic reflections bring childhood Eid joys, the memories of moonlit nights, and the taste of mother’s cooking to life.
What is Eid without a new outfit—whether it’s a new punjabi or a fresh sari?
Life and Style also delves into the new trends in Eid fashion with the article “Eid Elegance”.
It’s not just about dressing up; the issue also offers tips on skincare to get that festive glow.
The symphony of fragrances is also explored, with a segment on the best Eid perfumes for both men and women.
The essence of Bengali culture and a variety of recipes for festive foods will further captivate the readers.
Overall, Life and Style promises to be an additional attraction for this Eid-ul-Fitr.
