• Dhaka Diaries: Thursday Doors-the Gate to Art, culture and Spring

  

  I love participating in Dan’s Thursday doors. ‘This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world.’ This week, I have just one door- actually, it’s a gate- the gate to the…

• 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…

• 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…

• NaPoWriMo Day 30 – We shall return

  

  And last, but not least, our final (optional) prompt! In some past years, I’ve challenged you to write a poem of farewell for our thirtieth day, but this year, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem about something that returns. For, just as the swallows come back to Capistrano each year, NaPoWriMo and…

• NaPoWriMo 2018: Day 18- It’s April! It’s Spring!

  

  Today we have a new craft resource for you, in the form of this collection of images of poets’ first drafts of their poems, complete with their crossings-out/notes. I find these particularly interesting in how they show a poet’s own evaluation of their initial thoughts – what works, what doesn’t work, what is too discursive, what…
