• Book Review: Variety is the Spice of Life by Sally Cronin

  

  I remember it was sometime around Thanksgiving that this book was released and the author, Sally Cronin, had put up a post on Fb announcing it’s release on Kindle. Being in Dhaka, I had no way of accessing the book as Kindle does not work in this country. I asked Sally if the paperback was…

• 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…

• Published: Another night, another fight

  

  It wouldn’t be right to live in Dhaka and not write about mosquitoes. Come winter, come December, and they flow in droves. And not that I’m belittling the Indian mosquitoes, but the ones in Dhaka, are definitely hardier, more brilliant and more innovative than their Indian counterparts. They are ice-breakers- the subject of conversations –…

• Book Review: Man’s search for meaning by Viktor Frankl

  I picked, ‘Man’s Search for Meaning at the airport in March 2022, on my way to Benaras. It felt like the perfect book to read considering the place I was visiting. For those who do not know, Benaras or Varanasi is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus, it’s where the Ganga flows and where people…
