• Jo’s Monday Walk – 26.02-24- A walk in the park

  

  Yesterday, we went for a walk, our second, after returning. Since it had rained the previous day, the dust had settled and all the trees in the park looked glossy and clean. The path was strewn with yellowed leaves but the cleaners weren’t raking up the leaves because the ground was still wet. That was…

• 2023: Part 2 &3 – Year in review- ups and downs, lessons learnt

• 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?’…
