• Dhaka Diaries: Book video, book fair and in the news!

  

  As I said, Dhaka is full of surprises. I was happy to be part of this one. It all happened in a matter of two days. My husband had shared a reel of my book, Coming Home, on Facebook. Someone connected with him on Facebook saw the reel and asked, ‘Is your wife a writer?’…

• Published: Another night, another fight

  

  It wouldn’t be right to live in Dhaka and not write about mosquitoes. Come winter, come December, and they flow in droves. And not that I’m belittling the Indian mosquitoes, but the ones in Dhaka, are definitely hardier, more brilliant and more innovative than their Indian counterparts. They are ice-breakers- the subject of conversations –…
