Freedom is something chased by many yet fully grasped by surprisingly few. In Bangladesh, where the echoes of the Liberation War still pulsate strongly in the hearts of its people, freedom takes on various forms and meanings depending on whom you ask.
POETRY / The song of freedom
the bullet hole/ in my brother's chest/ unfolds like a pandora's box

POETRY / Losing An Arm

The many faces of freedom
