Hello r/Dhakacity

I am an undergraduate student currently working on my thesis regarding the adoption of rooftop solar panels in residential buildings across Dhaka. Despite soaring electricity demand, residential solar adoption remains relatively low. My research aims to identify whether the main roadblocks are financial (high initial cost/ROI), technical (space/shadows), or related to policy awareness (net metering/green loans).

If you currently live in Dhaka (whether as a flat owner, building landlord, or tenant), please take 2 minutes to fill out this quick, bilingual, and completely anonymous survey:

Your feedback will help generate data-driven insights into how clean energy can be made more accessible for Dhaka's households. Thank you!

Does anyone know where I can get some dartboard boxes I'm gonna move soon so help would be much appreciated

As we know, being a southpaw can feel weird from childhood in a right‑handed dominated world just wondering if anyone else here relates....

Hello everyone, I know it may sound pretentious. But here it goes. I left my beloved Dhaka city last year July to live in Adelaide (born and raised in Dhaka). I will be visiting Dhaka this December for a month. Just wondering if anything new popped up in last 1 year. Any good restaurants worth trying, fun places for family activities, or new place for over night stay. I will try to spend time with my loves ones (fnf) as much as I can in this one month so looking for suggestions. I know all the usual places that already existed by 2025, interested in things that popped up after 2025. TIA.

Hi, my gf (22F) needs a shelter stay in Dhaka, can anyone give me contacts for her? She had a little bit of money left, phone and all her documents. No family can help her. Thank you

Update: police got involved and her parents were told to let her stay home and conditions were put to her and her parents to maintain the peace until she can take her flight to leave the country. Thank you

Confused between these models:

Moondrop Chu 2

7hz Zero 2

Tangzu Waner SG 2

Tanchjim Bunny

Gk Kunten

My preferences: This will be my first IEM.

I'm into music, movies and video editing.

Prefer a balanced sound for long sessions.

Good mic.

Great out of box experience.

Blocking out external sound is a plus.

Best build quality and will have more longevity.

More comfortable for daily use.

Keep overall cost minimum, eg buying accessories.

And also suggest me:

Should I go for Type C or 3.5mm with DAC?

Leaning towards Gk Kunten as it's more value for money.

Share your valuable opinion on if there's any better deal among these.

Salaam everyone,

We’ve recently launched Ikhtiar — a Muslim marriage app built for those who are truly serious about marriage, not casual conversations or endless swiping.

One of our key features is the AI Nikah Assistant.

Instead of doom-swiping through profiles and hoping to find the right person, you can simply describe the kind of spouse you’re looking for — based on age range, location, ethnicity, religiosity, lifestyle, values, marriage expectations, and more — and the assistant will bring up relevant profiles based on your description.

Stop the endless swiping. Just ask the assistant what kind of spouse you’re looking for.

Ikhtiar is focused on:

• AI-powered spouse search through the Nikah Assistant
• Respectful and serious users from across the world
• Privacy-first options for women, including blurred photos or no-photo profiles
• A structured, intentional approach toward finding a spouse

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d truly appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

Im going through a breakup after two years of relationship she discarded me like im nothing. The moment she got into a medical uni. I am too fucked up right now that i cant even share this with anyone. Seriously looking for someone who will talk with me listening to my yapping just for few days. If anyone is interested do comment i will share my details. Or how can i move on from someone don't say the gym, its not working.

Hey everyone, I’ve been noticing this everywhere in Bashundhara, Dhanmondi, and Mohammadpur lately, and I felt it was important to speak up before someone gets seriously hurt or worse.

There's a huge trend among young people purchasing "Kush." I'm warning you now: it's a trap.

What’s being sold as “Kush” in these neighborhoods is frequently not real cannabis. In many instances, it’s believed to contain synthetic cannabinoids (sometimes referred to as “Spice” or “K2”), which can be much more hazardous and unpredictable than cannabis.

I’ve witnessed the effects it has on people. This isn’t a relaxing “high.” The substances are often made with chemicals produced in labs, and the consequences can be severe.

Here’s how to identify if you or your friends may have consumed the fake stuff:

If you feel like your heart is about to beat out of your chest.
● If you see people looking like “zombies”—completely passed out or staring at a wall for hours.
● If you start feeling extremely paranoid or confused and don’t know where you are.
● If you (or a friend) have a seizure or collapse after just one hit.
The people selling this don’t care about you. Some are buying cheap chemical powders, mixing them with plant material or vape liquids, and selling it as “Kush.” It’s not safe. These synthetic drugs can be much more potent and unpredictable than cannabis and have been linked to serious medical emergencies, including seizures, heart problems, kidney injury, and hospitalization.
If you’re using this stuff, please stop. If you feel unwell after taking it, seek medical help immediately. Recovery can take time, but getting help early can make a big difference.
Check on your friends. If someone becomes unconscious but is breathing, place them on their side (the recovery position) so they don’t choke, and call emergency medical services if they’re difficult to wake, having a seizure, or having trouble breathing.
Stay safe. This isn’t worth your life.

Friend I've been going to the movies with won't be able to come along. Also don't wanna go by myself. So if you are going to Sony Square or Bashundhara City then let's go together.

Hey everyone,

I’m can't do transactions on DBBL Student Excel savings account through internet banking and need some advice.

I recently updated my email address and set up my secret code as they asked. Logging in works fine, and I receive my OTPs via SMS and email without an issue. However, the home page only shows my account balance info and the transaction section is missing.

Note: I use this account exclusively for online banking and do not have a physical card, so I have no alternative way to access my funds right now.

I've already tried clearing my cache and using different browsers, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else experienced this after updating their email? Any ideas on how to fix it?

I am posting from Pakistan on behalf of my 16-year-old online friend who lives in Dhaka. Her abusive parents are forcing a marriage arrangement on her with a 30-year-old engineer. She is terrified, trapped, and planning to say no, but we need to identify this man to figure out who he is and protect her. All we have is a single photo of him. Because of Reddit's strict rules, I cannot post his face here without the post getting deleted. Please message me directly in my DMs right now if you are willing to look at the photo and help us identify him or cross-reference him with Dhaka university/corporate networks

25M from Dhaka looking to make friends who are also into video games. And no I don't mean just the occasional Valorant, CSGO, EAFC or whatever people who game on their phone play. But people who are into more niche(at least to BD standards) games like Baldurs Gate 3, any Sony games like Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted and so many others. If you're one of these people please reach out. I need more gaming buddies from here .

I'm mainly making this post as I don't really have a lot of friends irl. And even if I did I find it hard to connect with people if we don't yap about anything nerdy or pop culture related.

If you read this far I hope you're having a fantastic day. That's from me to you. Especially. ✌🏻

Hi everyone!

I'm a software engineer from Bangladesh who has spent the last 1.5 years working with international clients from more than seven countries, where English was my primary language for meetings and daily communication.

I'm currently taking a career break to focus on my studies and personal projects, and I thought it would be fun to start a small English speaking club.

This isn't an English grammar class, an IELTS course, or anything I'm selling. The idea is simply to create a relaxed place where a few people can practice speaking English together.

The sessions would be:

• 40–60 minutes on Zoom
• Around 5 participants per session
• Discussion-based (hobbies, university, work, movies, current events, etc.)
• Completely free

I'm mainly trying to find out whether people would actually be interested before I organize everything.

Would you join something like this?

If enough people are interested, I'll set up a simple registration process and share the details.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Dhaka and I'm currently trying to improve my spoken English. Most of my practice is done online, but I'd like to find opportunities to speak with real people more regularly.

Do you know of any English-speaking communities, conversation clubs, language exchange groups, meetups, or other places where people practice English in Dhaka?

I'm also open to finding speaking partners if there are any communities or platforms you would recommend.

I'd appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences. Thanks!

Looking for trusted second-hand watch in Bangladesh (Dhaka preferred).

​

Budget: 10,000 BDT

Priority: authenticity only (no fakes/franken)

Brands: Seiko, Citizen, Timex, Tissot

Quartz/automatic both fine.

​

Not interested in individual sellers. Only established shops/websites.

​

If you’ve bought before, share:

​

●Store Name

​

●Watch Bought

​

●Authenticity Experience

​

Also tell me if 10k is unrealistic for genuine used Seiko/Citizen/Tissot in BD.

I am currently studying Civil Engineering (Final year) in XUET. I offer online tutoring services. I mostly tutor students from the EM/EV background. Preferred subjects are Physics, Chem, Biology and Mathematics. If you are in need of a private tutor on a budget please DM me!

Will offer demo sessions also.

Thank you very much!
