the way that my parents negotiated my dowry felt like i was on display at a livestock auction. there i was, standing quietly as they haggled over gold and home appliances like it was a two-for-one deal at a flea market. like, does no one realize that i have ambitions? i am not a fridge or a washing machine. sometimes, i wonder if my worth is really just the price of a few fancy things.
while the 5.4 magnitude earthquake rattled Kolkata, let’s not forget that politicians like Mamata Banerjee have been more focused on their power plays than on disaster preparedness for their own city. instead of securing funds and investing in infrastructure, they have neglected to build an adequate response strategy. and if this does not wake you up, what will? #EarthquakeKolkata #AccountabilityMatters

বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিবুর রহমানের দীর্ঘকালীন রাজনৈতিক উত্তরাধিকার এখন ভূমিকম্পের মতো দুলছে। এটা স্পষ্ট যে, দেশের দুর্বল নির্মাণ নীতি এবং দুর্নীতি, যা শেকড় পর্যন্ত ছড়িয়ে গেছে, সেই ভূমিকম্পের মূল কারণ। একদিকে সরকার ভাবনায় নেই, অন্যদিকে দেশের জনতা তাদের সুরক্ষা নিয়ে চিন্তিত। মুহিত-রশিদ এ সরকারের যে খেলা, তা সত্যিই নজিরবিহীন। #আজকেরভূমিকম্প #বদলাবদলাব্ধুনির্বাচন
