The Holey Artisan Bakery, a favorite among expats became the scene of terror on July 1 as twenty hostages, mostly foreign nationals, were killed when a group of militants stormed in with guns and swords in the popular Gulshan cafe.

Terror will not define us

“Everything will be alright in a few days again”, I said to my friend in a half hearted attempt to console her as I left her apartment. It was her answer which consumed me for the rest of the day. Motherly in nature and genuinely bereaved, she looked back at me and said “why should it be, why should we forget”.
