Photography by Aritra Sanyal
We never forgot our roots. We never forget who we were, who we are, and who we will become. Flash Fiction aficionado Marzia Rahman collaborates with poet and exploratory photographer Aritra Sanyal to create something that blurs the definition of borders, establishes harmony and synchronization, and reminds us who we are as Bengalis, either we are in front of Bhagirathi or Padma. Snaps from KOLKATA, Flashes from DHAKA, Stories that blur BORDER, and Connect SOULS.
