• #WDYS : A grey world

  

  A mild cold wave swept over Dhaka on January 3rd. The temperature fell to 11 degrees C. We couldn’t see the sun for a week. Apparently, this is the coldest it has ever been here…yet another sign of climate change or global warming. The picture was taken at 7.00 a.m. on the 8th of January […]

Since it is a quarterly issue and their standards for publication are pretty high, it feels very good getting accepted. If you’d like to check out the magazine, click here. […]

• Travel : Dubai – the place, the people, the food

  

  This post is not really a travel post as I lived most of my life in Dubai before I moved out in 2018. So, when I returned to the country on a ten-day trip in early October, it was more about meeting friends than visiting places. However, for all those who haven’t visited Dubai, I […]

• Waiting

  

  If a month had a theme, then July’s would definitely be ‘Waiting’. I feel all I’ve been doing through July is, waiting- waiting for the rains to give us a break from the heat, waiting for my daughter to return from University, waiting for my younger one’s grade 12 results, waiting for my older one’s […]
