Nazimgarh Resorts in Sylhet

On December sixth I launched a trip to Sylhet to stay at the Nazimgarh Resorts in Khadimnagar and Lalakhal. I went to Sylhet with my parents and close family friends. We left Dhaka early morning by road on the sixth and arrived in Khadimnagar in the afternoon. The Journey was a six-and-a-half-hour trip by road for a distance of 251 km. After the long journey, it was nice to relax and stretch out in Khadimnagar where we were introduced to the resort with a welcome fruit drink.



There are two Nazimgarh resorts in Sylhet, one in Khadimnagar, and another in Lalakhal. The resort in Khadimnagar is the Nazimgarh Garden Resort. The Garden Resort is set across six acres of landscaped hillside, where you can find dozens of varieties of mountainous flora along with a tea garden for the resort’s guests. The resort is inclusive of 35 luxurious rooms and suites.  We visited in a lull time and were the sole guests of the resort. On-site, there are several activities including a pool, sauna, game room, and movie room. During peak season there are many more indoor and outdoor activities.

The resort has three dining options, however, due to the lull time, only one restaurant was open. The menu was varied and the food prepared was sumptuous. After a night spent at the Khadimnagar, we went to Lalakhal the following morning to check in at the Nazimgarh Wilderness Resort.

The drive to the Wilderness resort was not long however, it was located deep in the Lalakhal hillside with a shared boundary with the Sharee River. We checked into Nazimgarh Lalakhal again with a welcome staff and fruit drinks. After settling in we had lunch at the Lalakhal resort where the menu was diverse and the food tasty. We were the only occupants, so it felt like we had the resort to ourselves.

The Nazimgarh Wilderness Resort in Lalakhal is nestled at the base of the Jaintia Hills of the Indian State of Meghalaya, the last foothills of the Himalayas.

Afterward, we went to the Sharee River which is within walking distance from the resort to avail of a boat ride. We went up and down the Sharee River for a picturesque view of the river and surrounding hills. The Sharee River is spectacular, clean water with a green and blue tinge of color. The boat ride was the highlight of the trip. After the boat ride across the Sharee River, we settled in for dinner at the Wilderness Resort and checked in for the night for our return to Dhaka the following morning.

Eid'ul Fitr 2023

Day One: Eid in Dhaka is spent enjoying the company of family and friends, and this Eid was no different. The morning was started in preparation for prayers. After prayers, my nuclear family spent getting ready for a visit by two uncles, which is also a family tradition practiced every Eid, lunch with two of my close mamas. The time is spent talking about any subject, from local to foreign, however, mostly listening to the stories of yesteryear. Following this, almost a tradition, are visits from my cousins' and their extended family. Time here spent with them includes discussing the latest familial news, current news, and more.  This year's Eid was different in that our household help visited his family in the villages leaving me to take the helm. For most of the day, I spent ushering in food from the kitchen to the family room and back. Most importantly I spend time as a barista taking and delivering orders for tea and coffee. This was a novel, tiring, and, importantly, a ful

Runway Part 2

Bangladesh needs to explore all avenues to build its infrastructure for better international connectivity. One essential component for this is to highlight investment in air travel; both passenger and cargo travel, at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Currently a third Terminal is being built as a priority project of the government at a total cost of  ৳ 21,300 crore ( US$2.5 billion).  The  Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh  (CAAB) operates and maintains the airport. With the completion of Terminal three in 2022 the HSIA’s annual  passenger handling capacity will increase to 20 million from the current eight million. And the annual cargo handling capacity will also increase to 500,000 tons from the current 200,000 tons. However, the HSIA has only one runway for servicing international flights, domestic flights, and for use by the  Bangladesh Air Force . Currently  eight flights take off and land every hour at the HSIA. With one runway and three terminals travel will

What to do during the lockdown

What can you do during the lockdown when you're not busy telecommuting. One, you can get into arguments with whomever you see. Two, you can go online and post nefarious comments across any post that you disagree with. You can do all of these things and more. Unfortunately neither of these ideas will benefit your health and peace of mind. First of all it is imperative you keep a schedule, for example sleeping and waking up at the same time every day. Secondly, you can pick up a new hobby.  I never indulged in any hobbies until this lockdown came into effect and now I am spending enjoyable time collecting coins I have found at home. Other hobbies can be rooftop gardening, indoor sports, or keeping a pet--cat/dog.  Most importantly you can help keep your house clean, help prepare tasty meals, help washing, drying plates, and clothing.
