• Dhaka Diaries: Doors, Flowers, Seasons and random rambling

  

  I haven’t written Dhaka diaries in what feels like forever, but what really is just 3 months. The last time I wrote was on February 9th. February 14th was when the girls left for University, and I got busy with my book, which was released on 24th March, and then I got busy promoting it.…

• Published: Seven Days of Valentine

  

  My poem, ‘Seven Days of Valentine’, has been published by Masticadores USA. In case you’re wondering why I’m talking about Valentine’s in May, well, it’s because I wrote the poem during Valentine’s week.

  I want to thank Miriam for writing this book which is a real-life account of her battle with cancer in 2008. In the foreword, she says, ” Life is precious and it’s worth fighting for. If I died, my pain went with me, but I would leave pain with my loved ones. My life is…
