Shahriar Feroze

It's quarter past twelve in the midnight. As almost always, I abruptly wake up. The bedside alarm clock keeps ticking relentlessly, tick-tock, and tick-tock - reminding every single second is becoming past with an amazing speed. Apart from the clock, the other sound that reaches me is the unending hum of the Crickets calling out ...

Remember ... remember ... the 7th of November

Shahriar Feroze

Of the many controversies that impinge on some of our historical events, November 7 of 1975 remains one. In a society of radical politicisation of events, dates and uprisings, it has become rather challenging to learn the truth from reliable neutral sources. What the BNP observes as a national 'Revolution and Solidarity Day' is clashingly ...

Remembering Ali Joon Ispahani

The ‘Grand Old Man’ of Dhaka departs

Shahriar Feroze

He was not a venerated practitioner of any form of art, profession, sport or even business. He had never ornamented any key government or non - governmental posts. As far as the family title Ispahani is concerned, he had usually been the least talked about. His knowledge on contemporary issues and current affairs were remarkable, ...

When social media controls you!

Shahriar Feroze

More than enough has been penned, discussed and conversed about the gruesome Bhola incident. Reflecting back far earlier, it is not the first time that religious zealots have claimed lives based on unverified social media posts in the country. In fact, social media posts had fomented a full-fledged revolution in the Arab world way back ...

Anil Ambani: More than just riches to rags tale

Shahriar Feroze

Penning on businessmen, successful or the failed ones, was never my cup of tea. However, coincidentally coming across a few YouTube video posts last week on the rise and fall of Anil Ambani made me overtly curious on the most ill- fated member of the House of Ambani. In today's dog-eat-dog business world the ones ...

On The Man Who Knew Too Much

Shahriar Feroze

Does the title ring a bell? Yes, it is the epic Alfred Hitchcock suspense thriller film of the 50's. As the crï¿½me-de-la-crï¿½me of our elites have been kept busy raving about the intellectual prowess and on the innumerable achievements of the late Mizanur Rahman Shelley, at least I found it difficult selecting the most appropriate ...

Britain gets its tailor-made Donald Trump

Shahriar Feroze

Beset with domestic and international challenges and an intensified continental identity--the United Kingdom yet gets another disputed leader--possibly the most controversial among the lot. Personally I may have a lot against Donald Trump, but eventually its Boris Johnson's journalist identity which has somewhat compelled me-not to pick up the pen but to keep pressing the ...

When politics protect and breed rapists!

Shahriar Feroze

Astonishing as it may appear, there is actually a deep rooted link between rape and the noxious political culture in today's Bangladesh. So far the two conformist reasons behind increasing rape cases in this country are - lower rate of conviction and slow, incompetent investigation of rape cases. The third, otherwise politics is a fairly ...

The Derailed Despot Departs...leaves behind a Dark political legacy

Shahriar Feroze

His military regime covers the most part of my school years. There was barely a day when the first 15 minutes of the BTV's Bangla news at eight hadn't unequivocally promoted him. Never before the private scandals of a military dictator had become regular talks of the town. His regime took Bangladesh to the heights ...
