Dhaka was once a city shaped and sustained by water. Long before concrete replaced wetlands and flyovers crossed the sky, rivers defined its rhythm of life.

Jan 28, 2026

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to confront only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life; living is so dear.
