• 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…

• #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…

• Mumbai Diaries 13 : We are closer than we think we are

  

  Without further ado, let me get straight to the point. I’m talking about the weather; just like everybody else is… at the moment – from Canada to India and beyond perhaps. When a dear friend of mine who lives in Chicago uploaded a post on 23rd Jan describing the ’bout of bad weather’ they were…
