I like Ramadan, because its time were peaceful comes and beautiful buildings decorated!

Dhakaiya · March 17th, 2007, 02:09 PM

I like Ramadan because of the mouth watering food! Dahi fuchka, biriyani, dahi bara, mutton chops, tandoori chicken, shish kebab, beef curry....I just realized my mouth is really watering. Can't wait for Ramadan!

Let me give you some info. about the names and short detail of Dhaka's areas:

Gulshan-means garden(although I doubt there is garden left since the boom), the most shiny and posh area of Dhaka, many international thingies are located in here.

Mohakhali- means great plains (wtf?Mohakhali parents complain there is no open area for their children to play), Contains several highrises and important offices.

Banani-means jungle(I live here

, all urban, maybe appropriate to be a concrete jungle), still, very nice place in Spring, almost like Gulshan.

Dhanmondi-Dunno what it means, but the best place to shop.

Karwan Bazar-Duh, it was originally a stupid bazaar, but now its all highrises

Panthapath- Meaning Pantha's road, Pantha is some guy's name, but cool sea of midrises, and contains Bashundhara City-South Asia's largest mall.

More to come later....

lol thats a really good way to explain dhaka's areas. but u have to understand these names were created waaaaayyy before all these highrises came up so they are bound to be a little ironic nowadays.
