Music recommendations?
Hi, I'm a British woman living in an area with lots of elderly people originally from Sylhet, and I'm trying to pick up the basics of the language to help with my nursing job. I spend hours every day listening to music, so do you have any recommendations for me? I've found Sylheti Music Radio online and lifted a few names from there. Musicians from the diaspora in English-speaking countries would probably be most helpful, because I can read the transliterated lyrics as I listen, but any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
Why EM books are so freaking expensive? Can anyone donate old books?
My son studies in STD 3 Edexel, last year the school he is in charged around 16k for only books. The books they supplied seemed like copy not original. Yet they charged so much. So the question is, it it normal?
If anyone willing to donate their old books plese respond. I will pay the shipping cost.
Thank you!
Nilkhet: I am outside of Dhaka and wish I could get one who can buy on my behalf
Good private hospital in Sylhet with proper waiting arrangements?
Looking for a decent private hospital in Sylhet similar to Evercare or Square that provides good service. Mount Adora (Akhalia) and Al Haramin were too crowded and congested for me. Any better recommendations?
IM A 15 YEARS OLD AND I NEED A BIT HELP
hey, im fuad. 15M. n lonely. i live with my parents and they are evil.

she was saying things like that. and she blames always me for every actions. and i have to take these actions responsibility and i didnt have done that actions . and whenever i told these to someone, they say: manush aro koshte ase, and bengali parents arokom e hoy. etc type shi. they arent gonna see me, that im a 15years old and what i have to deal it with it. and i give what my parents wants. house chores,helping them, helping in their work, getting better grades, and listen to what they say.
im tired of all of this. and i treat my cat as my own daughter . and they dont let me leave the house ,and even i left the house , what am i suppose to do next. i have nowhere to go ,i would have nothing to eat etc. and some people say im a spoiled brat. and when i ask them how am i spoil brat?? they js shut up.
and now i need some srs help . otherwise im gonna kill myself anytime bcz my mental health is cooked . i go to school, talk to none bcz they are super cringe . and my mind always say me to die. bcz its too much. and suddenly my brain became so suicidal centric. where i go, what i do, my mind only runs on that, always keeping myself into that. and i would have done that if suicide wasnt haram.
and now i js wanna make some money so i can leave my house after my ssc exam. otherwise my mind is super cooked .
and the kittens incident happened in this month. and the past incident is worser than that . and i posted this bcz im tired and i really need help.
Hoping to find someone to share my life with.
Although I'm not from Sylhet, I've always had a special affection for it. I spent many childhood holidays visiting Sylhet with my family due to my dad's job, and over the years I've grown to love its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and warm people. I've seen much nicer people anywhere else so I felt a desire to post here.
Even though I have no desire to settle outside Dhaka, It has always felt like a place I could happily keep coming back to, which is one of the reasons I'm posting here.
About me-
I'm a 26M- yr old MBBS graduate, currently working as a Medical Officer. I'm looking to get to know someone with marriage as the eventual goal if we are compatible.
A little about me:
- 5'6", fair to light brown complexion, weight 70kg gender -male.
- From a highly respected, educated family
- Family-oriented, an only child, and someone who values loyalty, honesty, kindness, and open communication.
- More comfortable expressing myself in English than Bangla.
- Muslim, practicing and I hope to grow together with my future spouse.
I've only recently started my career, so my salary isn't very high at the moment. Alhamdulillah, I have a stable family background and good long-term prospects. I'd love to meet someone who values me for my character rather than my current income or profession.
I'm looking for someone around 21–26 years old with good character, strong family values, and a genuine interest in building a peaceful, loving marriage. Someone who is kind, emotionally mature, religious-minded, and preferably has little to no relationship experience.
If you think we'd be compatible, or know someone who might be, feel free to reach out.

May Allah grant us righteous spouses and barakah in our search. Ameen.
I still send texts to my best friend's phone, even though she died four years ago. Today... someone replied.
​
My best friend, Emma, died in a car accident four years ago.
She was 24.
I was supposed to be in that car.
I canceled at the last minute because I had to cover someone's shift at work.
For a long time, I hated myself for that. Then I hated myself for surviving.
After her funeral, I never deleted her number.
Every few weeks—sometimes every few months—I would send a text.
Nothing dramatic.
"Got promoted today."
"I finally adopted that dog we always wanted."
"Your favorite coffee shop closed."
"I miss you."
I knew nobody was reading them.
It just felt better than talking into the air.
Eventually it became a habit.
Birthdays.
Christmas.
Random Tuesday nights when life felt too heavy.
I'd text her.
Last week, I sent another one.
"I got engaged today. You would've bullied me for how nervous I was."
About ten minutes later...
My phone buzzed.
I almost ignored it.
Then I saw her name.
For a second, I genuinely forgot she was gone.
The message simply said:
"She would've been so happy for you."
I felt every hair on my body stand up.
My hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped my phone.
I didn't know whether to cry or throw my phone across the room.
I replied immediately.
"Who's this?"
About twenty minutes later I got another message.
"My name is Sarah. I got this number from my phone company about six months ago. I've been receiving your messages ever since."
I wanted to disappear.
I apologized over and over.
I told her she could block me.
She wrote back:
"I almost did at first."
"But after reading them... I couldn't."
"I lost my younger brother two years ago."
"I know what it feels like to keep talking to someone who's gone."
We ended up texting for nearly three hours.
Not about ghosts.
Not about the phone number.
About grief.
About how strange it is that the world keeps moving while part of yours never does.
She told me she still buys her brother's favorite candy whenever she sees it, even though nobody eats it.
I admitted I still instinctively reach for two movie tickets sometimes.
Before we stopped texting that night, she sent one last message.
"I know I'm not Emma."
"But I think she'd want someone to answer eventually."
I cried harder than I had in years.
Not because it felt like I got my friend back.
Because it reminded me that grief doesn't disappear.
It just quietly recognizes itself in other people.
I haven't texted Emma's number since.
Not because I've stopped missing her.
Because, for the first time in four years, it finally felt like someone had heard me.

Need Local Sylhet trip suggestion
Hey everyone!
I need a very big help. One of my very close brothers is coming to sylhet for a visit. I know about tourist places and quality foods in good restaurants like seasons, meatup, madgrill etc but I don't know much about underrated foods or places. I want you all to help me with underrated foods and places that you guys tried/went and loved alot. Don't suggest me restaurant foods like seasons, meatup, kebab cottage, panshi, pach bhai. Foods that you guys got good at Jaflong, shadapathor, airport, horipur etc.
Thanks.
I’m gay
Yes I’m.
In a scale of 100 I’m 100% gay. I mean i have no interest with women and never was interested.
I can tell who is the handsome but i cant tell who is the prettiest woman. Even sometimes i fail to remember woman face.
Should I get married?
What if she is belongs to your family, will you consider thats fine ?
What’s your thoughts on me?
Gali deo no problem
Any sylheti/Bengali shias ? Or anyone exploring shiasm?
As a sylheti furi whose exploring shiasm with the intention of converting once I have firm conviction I got curious to know if there's anyone else out there that may be shia or considering to convert as well. Would love to chat to a sylheti shia or even if you're a Bengali shia that'd be amazing
I live in NYC and have been introduced to a few shias that are Bengali, they've all converted after much research. There's a huge community of shias in NYC. A lot of them have programs at Islamic center of NYU.
***Also for those who are infested with the disease of hating shias especially because of misconceptions, sectarianism, and propaganda this post is NOT for you* I Refuse to argue with anyone

SUST healed something in me today, even if just a little
I’m a foreign student pursuing my MBBS in Sylhet, and lately life has felt heavier than usual. A new city, a new country, and the loneliness of not having even a single friend here —it all gets overwhelming sometimes 🙂. Today was one of those especially hectic and frustrating days, so I just left everything behind and went for a long walk around SUST.
And somehow, somewhere between the quiet roads, the trees, and the evening air, I felt a kind of peace I hadn’t felt in a long time. It’s hard to explain, but there’s something almost dreamlike about this place—something so calm and surreal that for a little while, it made all the stress and loneliness feel lighter. I know I’ll come back here again, especially on a rainy day. And if anyone would like to accompany me someday, they’re more than welcome to join.
