• Dhaka Diaries : It’s Spring!

  

  Although, it was Winter, and I have been waddling around, in layers, a beanie on my head, a scarf around my neck; socks on my feet, and cotton plugged in my ears, my heart has been in ‘Spring’ mode since my older one returned home for the Christmas holidays. I feel paralysed and incapable of…

  I’m not sure parents say this, but I’m certain they feel it. Because being a parent isn’t easy and certainly not, the first time around, which for some may be the only time around. There are bound to be mistakes which may not be obvious, and there may be no witnesses other than one’s conscience.…

  I’m linking this post to Linda’s JusJoJan post for today. The prompt for today was ‘Thank you’. I had to participate because at the moment there’s a lot I’m feeling thankful for. I’m thankful to have a full home again and to have the family reunited for the holiday season. Despite a hectic 10-day holiday…

• #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…
