The OTT app shows a gradual decrease in the ratings as episodes go on, the first being 4.4 out of 5 while the last was rated 2.6

Much like the popular horror streaming series Pett Kata Shaw, 'Ashare Golpo' by Nurul Alam Atique on Bioscope is another horror anthology which explores myths and fables of Bangladeshi culture.

But is it any good? The series has a solid story line but is not without its flaws.

The stories are very akin to the ones we have heard as children. Tales about jinns, haunted ponds or lakes in rural places, ghosts' fondness for fish, etc. But when these tales are given a visual translation, reproduced with real people acting it out, it becomes a much more engaging experience.

The pilot episode 'Mayadighi' garnered high expectations from the audiences. The actors - Ahmed Rubel, Orchita Sporshia, and Sushama Sarkar have done a stellar job in playing their designated roles, with sharp dialogues and a great plot.

The episode follows the story of a man who is called by a mysterious woman to join her in a nearby lake. The episode ends on an ambiguous note, but it does not leave you unhappy, rather leaves it open ended and ripe for interpretation, leading you to keep watching the series.

As each episode has a unique storyline, you find yourself expecting an upping of the ante with each new instalment.

The second episode 'Tabiz', featuring Nazifa Tushi and Khairul Basar, however, felt quite predictable, and the acting came off as rote. The story was about a boy who tries to charm the woman he loves with the help of a drink he gets from a conjurer, but ends up attracting a jinn.

The episode had the potential to be great if the acting and sound effects were executed properly. But this mistake keeps recurring throughout the other episodes. Stories are stymied by flawed acting and asynchronous audio cues kept breaking immersion and suspension of disbelief.

The third episode 'Machhe Bhaate Bangali' deftly leads you to making assumptions about the vector of the plot, only to be subverted during the reveal. It is about an elderly man looking for a full-time young female caretaker. Initially, it seems like a case of pedophilia, which would have been scary regardless. However, when the male protagonist – played by Asaduzzaman Noor – states one rule to be maintained at all cost, it gives a hint of where the story might be heading. Sabila Nur played the role of the female caretaker.

The fourth episode, 'Kakkhamitra' was about witchcraft. It starred Nadia Afrin Mim, Semonti Soimi, and Nishat Priyam. This episode felt almost as if a bunch of amateurs made this, giving it a feel of a horror short you'd find on YouTube. It was plagued by poor acting and the low-budget production really showed.

The last episode 'Kathure' played by actors Imtiaz Barshan and Dilruba Doyel was a missed opportunity. Even with a good start, the episode eventually became hard to understand because of how random the actions of the cast were. The story was about greed as far as I could discern, but even that remained unclear. The ghost costumes looked more funny than scary. There must have been massive reshuffles in the production due to budgetary limitations.

A girl and love often share a timeless connection — love can make her eyes brighter, her smile softer, and her heart stronger. Sometimes it’s gentle, like a quiet morning breeze; sometimes it’s fierce, like a storm that refuses to fade.

Love can be the way she cares deeply for someone, protects their dreams, and stands beside them through joy and struggle. It can live in her words, her silence, or even in the small acts no one notices — a glance, a gesture, a touch.

For a girl, love may mean finding comfort in someone’s presence, feeling safe enough to be her truest self, or simply knowing that no matter what happens, she is cherished. Love can make her brave, patient, and endlessly hopeful.

It’s not always about fairy tales — sometimes it’s about growing together, healing wounds, and creating new dreams. In the end, a girl and love are like a poem: full of beauty, emotion, and meaning that can’t always be explained, but can always be felt.

Just another day in paradise.
How dreamy is this?
Embracing the calm of today.
Serenity is found in simplicity.
The world is full of endless possibilities.
Life is better when you take time to breathe.
Finding beauty in the ordinary.
Sunshine = calmness.
Breathe in the good vibes, exhale the worries.
Fill your life with thoughtfulness and intention.
Looking for light in every shadow.

The History of Photography
Photography, the art and science of capturing images, has evolved dramatically since its inception. Here's a timeline of its key milestones:

1. Early Beginnings
Camera Obscura (5th Century BCE): The concept of projecting an image through a small hole was described by Chinese philosopher Mozi and later by Aristotle. It was used for artistic and scientific purposes but could not record images.

2. First Permanent Photograph (1826)
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce: In 1826, Niépce created the first permanent photograph, View from the Window at Le Gras, using a process called heliography. It required an 8-hour exposure on a pewter plate.

3. The Daguerreotype (1839)
Louis Daguerre: Daguerre introduced the daguerreotype process, which reduced exposure time to minutes and produced detailed, single-image photographs on silver-plated copper.

4. Calotype and Paper Negatives (1841)
William Henry Fox Talbot: Talbot invented the calotype process, which used paper negatives, allowing multiple copies of an image to be made. This was a precursor to modern photography.

5. Wet Plate Collodion Process (1851)
Frederick Scott Archer: The wet plate process improved image quality and reduced exposure times. However, it required photographers to develop images immediately, often in portable darkrooms.

6. Dry Plate Photography (1870s)
Richard Leach Maddox: The invention of dry plates eliminated the need for on-site chemical development, making photography more convenient and portable.

7. The Birth of Modern Photography (1888)
George Eastman and Kodak: Eastman revolutionized photography with the Kodak camera, which used roll film. The slogan "You press the button, we do the rest" made photography accessible to the masses.

8. Color Photography (1907)
Autochrome Lumière: The Lumière brothers introduced the first commercially successful color photography process using dyed grains of starch as filters.

9. Instant Photography (1948)
Polaroid Cameras: Invented by Edwin Land, the Polaroid camera allowed users to develop and print photos instantly, revolutionizing how people captured moments.

10. Digital Photography (1975)
Steven Sasson: The first digital camera was developed by Kodak engineer Steven Sasson. It captured images digitally rather than on film, marking the beginning of the digital era.
