Dear Son, When you were born, I wasn’t really sure if I was ready yet to take care of such a precious gem that you are. I gave birth to you, but I didn’t truly feel like a mother until now. When we first learned about your existence inside of me, we had enjoyed multiple rollercoaster rides at the Universal Studios of Singapore just the … Continue reading 5th Letter to my Toddler
I have always been keenly interested in being involved with the academic field, whether within my specific field of study or exploring others. Though I wouldn’t brag about being much of an extraordinary student, my academic achievements do reflect a consistently high performance. The reason I’m so enthusiastic about all this is because I truly believe that the key to women’s success everywhere is getting … Continue reading My participation at the GWI Meeting
My son is 4 years old and he already acts like a teenager! I can tell because I can vividly recall my teenage years; it doesn’t feel long since I’ve overcome those teenage emotions. People of my generation may relate to holding on to teenage emotions even after passing over the teenage phase- that’s how naive and simple-minded we were! Continue reading When Toddler acts like a Teenager
For people like us who can only comprehend meaning from a piece of art as it was meant to be understood, I can only manage to serve my understanding and my opinion after consuming it. I got mixed feelings from this controversial story of Chokher Bali where I learned about the restrictions of women in displaying their wants and emotions towards the world and the culture that they lived in, in the ancient era. Continue reading Netflix Story Review: “Chokher Bali” by Rabindranath Tagore
As we pass through another year, I cannot help but look back at the incidents that have left marks on our lives so deeply. Covid-19 has been resolved to quite an extent this year but it did take away the lives of so many of our dear people. Though their places will forever remain empty yet I cannot help but appreciate the fact that the … Continue reading A new year with commitments to Self
I grew up a little when he was trying to make his first words out of his mouth. I realized that I had to understand his non-composed language to get him what he wanted because if I didn’t understand him, nobody else would. And I learned how important it was to have clarity in my voice to get what I want. Continue reading When Ayeman was a baby and so was I
Such a beautiful smile she’s got! This little girl was selling these balloons as my son was riding one of these toy cars outside a local shopping mall. She was showing Ayeman which button to press for the cars to make more sound. It became clear that she knew it because she has always seen other kids riding the toys but never had a ride … Continue reading Sharing is Caring!
21st February might just be a date for any other native in this world but for us the Bangladeshis, it is not. It is the day to commemorate the martyrs who lost their lives in fighting for establishing Bengali as our mother tongue, back in the year 1952. On this day, we put on clothes of the colors black and white to respect the tragic … Continue reading Ekushey (21st) February- an emotion embedded in the heart of every Bangladeshi
I want you to believe in yourself even when it’s not the right choice for you. Do you know why? Because at the end of the day, we go to bed in our own skins and we need to feel confident and comfortable with that skin. When we know that I’m here because I had made this choice for myself, BY myself, it leaves no room for regrets in life. Continue reading 3rd Letter to my Toddler
‘Oh Ayeman, we lost all the superheroes, the game is over now’. You looked up on me and said, ‘Ma, I have the strongest superhero left to fight the monster car’. I looked everywhere on the table to check if I have missed out on any Hulks or JJs but I found none. Ayeman looked sharp into my eyes and said in a way as if I should have known it already that..
