• Dhaka Diaries: December is a time to take stock

  

  There’s a nip in the air – the kind you feel in a hill station. I’m enjoying my morning walks in the neighbourhood park. The sun rises these days at around 6.00 a.m. and we leave the house at 6.20 a.m. The gates to the park are open at this time, but the guard on […]

• Published :Branches- when will the madness end

If I don’t watch out, I’ll slip Slide down the rabbit hole And not find my way up So, I hold on desperately To a branch I’ve known Smooth is its bark Sturdy, easiest to hold so I think
