“I could have bought a very nice phone with the money I bought this guitar with,” said Joy Shahriar in The Daily Star’s canteen, proudly flaunting his baby Taylor guitar. “But I chose this expensive guitar. I don’t have unlimited funds, but I know my priorities.” In a way, this sums up the “Shotti Bolchi” singer’s entire career – a story of passion, strife, and street smarts.
A contentious debate has erupted on social media following the announcement of the recipients of the prestigious Ekushey Padak 2024. The government's decision to honour 21 individuals for their outstanding contributions across various fields, with 10 from the entertainment sector, has received criticism, particularly surrounding the recognition of music star Shuvro Dev.
Penned by Hasanuzzaman Masum, the song features lines, “Bristy ekhon ar bhalo lagena… Tobu Sarakkhon amar hridoy mon Nibir opekkha korche,” which loosely translates to, “The sound of rain seems like someone’s earnest tears to me now, don’t the clouds in the sky delineate the pain in my heart! The rain freezes my heart in grief as I constantly wait for my beloved Nibir.”
