• Dhaka Diaries: Art to the rescue

  

  I finished the painting I had started a week before leaving India. Don’t ask me what I was doing painting when I was pressed for time. I painted until 4 days before boarding the flight. I know it sounds crazy or even dramatic when I say I clung to the brush as long as I […]

• All I need

  

  This morning my husband and I went for a walk just after the rains. There was nobody out there but us. I had not carried my mobile phone so I could not take any pictures. But this is how I felt. I hope the words reach you despite the absence of pictures. Here’s the poem […]
