Of Real and Emotional Debris: 

The complete eraser of Gaza which was once full of life, the continued miseries of people in Kashmir, or the hopelessness faced by the displaced Rohingyas trying eke out a life in camps in Chattogram, all this jostle the mind as one tries hard to think of the future of the human race. It is also hard to leave behind the legacy of Bangladesh’s multiple failures in sculpting a future. Here the people’s dream for political stability has always remained a chimera. The fall of the repressive regime has certainly made way for all to focus on a future beyond the given structure, but it seems that things keep falling apart and we are only left with emotional debris. I navigate through a landscape where the edifices of our collective dream lie in ruin, hence the title ‘Debris’.
