Pretty
much like aggressively growing mushrooms, I was not surprised to see Barista coffee shops in happening locations in Dhaka.
Having walked into the shops in Uttara and Gulshan on two different occasions,
it reminded me of my good old days of under-graduate studies in Delhi, India,
when hanging out in Baristas with my yaars during 2000-2003 was a cool
thing to do. Other than the great coffee experience and checking out coffee
lovers of the fairer sex, there were also that acoustic guitar waiting patiently
round the corner for a gentle strum, board-games such as chess and Scrabble for
people to play and pass away their time sipping over great blends of coffee.
