#WEWANTJUSTICE

Road safety is a basic amenity. As a citizen of Bangladesh, and as a human, demanding such safety should not be an issue to be handled with brutality and blood shred. I have grown up here in Dhaka and by far I can remember, all the protests led by people of this country were handled with violation of human rights. The polices always interfered into these matters with rubber bullets or even actual ones. Maybe they think this is the right way to calm the chaos but it only adds up to the situation. External parties want to suppress or delay the justice by taking lives of the protesters. There are horrifying images of students being slaughtered/injured in the most sensitive body parts you can imagine that getting viral and all this because they wanted their basic amenity met by the leader that this country people elected/ by unfair means got elected. How does this sound fair? How does this even make any sense? How do the leaders stand and play wicked games just to sustain their power of positions and destroy the future of the youth who stood up for the actual development of this country? Yet you think, humans are civilized nation. Yet you would think there's still hope for this country.

If respective leaders, played their part right, this wouldn't be happening. Greed has destroyed even the little bit of humanity left in their hearts. They want power, money and position. That is all they want. They will live in mansions. They will have their legacy, a long chain of generations, living with riches they have earned with corrupted system and they don't have a tiny bit worrying about this country's situations and issues. And that is ironic. That is just beyond any tragedy I have encountered.

If Bangladesh had the right leaders, If the people here were driven by faithful parties, we wouldn't have to observe this tragedy. Students who are supposed to our future, our only hope, are killed and punished for the bold characters they shown and it hurts to the core of my heart to be thinking about the horrors their families and they've been going through. I don't know what parties did what they did, what most terrifies me is aftermath of this incidents. I always loathed the bus service in this country, I always loathed the traffic system, but right now what I truly solely hate is being a citizen here. We are helpless and hopeless and nothing is being done in the name of justice. I am shameful to be called Bangladeshi. I am shameful to be born here. Today I really am.

spring is almost here

Hi B,  Season is changing. The hard days are almost over.  The city I live in has turned so beautiful, I get overwhelmed by the beauty.  Tulips are in. Cherry blossoms are blossoming.  Magnolia, Beautiful white flowers, name unknown to me.  Taking a walk out feels like a celebration of life.  It feels like I'm falling in love with the city.  I remember when I first moved here 2 years ago, the excitement and the crippling anxiety of starting a new life from scratch. Now, after 2 years, I feel a warmth and love for the place.  I don't know if I would feel the same when the winter comes though. Seasonal depression is no joke.  My new mantra for life now is to chill.  Praise the nature and find pretty little corners in the city.  Write poems.  Paint, maybe.  Seek positivity.  Love. Be kind to self. No rush. Read books. Just flow.

long distance again

 I came back from my trip. It was amazing 2 weeks of my life. Seeing him again after so long felt strange yet peaceful. I finally got to be in his arms again. 2 weeks flew by and now I am back home and back to work and normal hustle and bustle of life.  He got an extension offer and decided to stay for another 3 months. It is sad because he was supposed to be back next month. He asked me if he should take it and despite having my heart aching I supported him in the decision. It is not confirmed yet but he probably be staying another 3. Another 5 months of long distance. How am I going to survive the winter by myself? I don't know. Honestly, in my heart, I don't care about how much compensation he be getting. I miss him so much and this long distance thing is killing me inside. Today is Friday night and instead of cuddles and movie, I am home alone. No plans to look forward. No one to talk to. I am the loneliest girl on earth right now. He is probably sleeping and not picking u...

winter together

 Dear B,  Sorry I've been so MIA. Here's the update you missed - My husband came back! He wasn't approved for those 3 months of extension. I've been getting enough cuddles and kisses to survive this winter.  Yes, winter is here. Never underestimate the Canadian winter. It's the worst. Everything is grey and dark. However, I am looking forward to going home in March. I'm so excited to see my friends again. Most importantly my parents and brother. It feels a strange kind of feeling. I am planning to 'visit' the place I was born and call home. It is definitely a new kind of feeling.  Things been okay. We are okay. I am glad to have him back.  We bought a new couch and a coffee table. It's still in back order and I'm impatiently waiting for them to arrive.  Can't believe only 4 days left to 2026. Time is flying so quick. Hope we talk again, B. I swear I missed you!
