Haq
Watched Haq, a powerful film that brings to light the landmark 1985 Supreme Court judgment in the Shah Bano case. It eloquently exposes the deprivation and indignities many Muslim women have historically faced under the practice of talaq. Emraan Hashmi delivers a remarkably restrained performance as the antagonist, portrayed with shades of complexity rather than… Continue reading Haq
বই রিভিউ : আশাবরী – হুমায়ুন আহমেদ
বই রিভিউ: আশাবরী — হুমায়ুন আহমেদ হুমায়ুন আহমেদের আশাবরী উপন্যাসটি মূলত নিঃশব্দ ভালোবাসা, প্রত্যাশা ও জীবনের অনিবার্য বেদনার এক সংবেদনশীল দলিল। এখানে কোনো অতিনাটকীয় ঘটনা নেই; আছে ধীরে চলা জীবন, যেখানে চরিত্ররা নিজেদের মতো করে সুখ–দুঃখ বহন করে। উপন্যাসের কেন্দ্রীয় চরিত্র আশাবরী নামেই যার ইঙ্গিত, সে আশায় বাঁচে। তার জীবনজুড়ে অপেক্ষা, ত্যাগ আর নীরব সহনশীলতা।… Continue reading বই রিভিউ : আশাবরী – হুমায়ুন আহমেদ
A Promise We Make to the Morning After

Language of Silence
Silence speaks to me in a language I understand. In my solitary existence, it is my truest companion. An unspoken dialogue unfolds between my heartbeats, a deeper presence, the sacred chamber of my soul. Its quiet eloquence carries meaning, echoing a thousand emotions, at times louder than any scream, seeping through mind and being alike.… Continue reading Language of Silence
A Haven I Dream Of
I dream of living the life I have long envisioned cradled in nature’s bounty, within my little haven. Birds will greet each dawn with their tender chorus, while the susurration of leaves sings me into sleep. Enchanted, wrapped in quiet joy, my soul will rest in wonder, and my pen mystified, aflame- will pour forth… Continue reading A Haven I Dream Of
Inner Ascent
I want to dive deep into my soul,to search for answers profound and unspoken,answers that stir awakening within,that unsettle complacency and breathenew lifeinto the quiet chambers of my being. I yearn to travel beyond familiar horizons,to embrace new ways of thinking,to unlearn what no longer servesand relearn the courage to see differently. Each obstacle blocking… Continue reading Inner Ascent
Fear, Faith, and the Fracturing of a Nation
Bangladesh was born from resistance—to linguistic erasure, cultural domination, and imposed identity.Today, that promise stands fragile. In Fear, Faith, and the Fracturing of a Nation, I examine how radicalism, mob violence, silenced media, and minority persecution are reshaping a country that once stood for pluralism. This is not reportage alone—it is reflection, warning, and witness.… Continue reading Fear, Faith, and the Fracturing of a Nation
