In Memory Of Xulhaz Mannan
It’s a universal truth that death is not a new fad; people die all the time. The tradition has been around since the world began, so we should be used to it and accept it by now. The possibility of death is ever-present 24-7 and in, most cases, strikes when least expected.
One such death occurred on April 25, 2016. A young ‘bright spark’ Bangladeshi was murdered by Islamist extremists. What’s another murder added to the elongated list, one might ask. It’s the sort of danger one can expect in a major metropolis like Dhaka.
This one, however, is significantly different. The murdered young man, Xulhaz Mannan, did no harm to anyone. In fact, he lived his life diagonally opposite: he helped everyone all he could. His only ‘crime’ was being different in the eyes of an ignorant few despite all humans being equal in the eyes of Allah.

Rohingya: Walk A Mile In Their Shoes
My reminiscences of Cox’s Bazar are deeply rooted in my childhood during family vacations taken with my parents and three siblings - horse rides on the beach, sunsets against the widest horizon, charcoal barbecues by nightfall, and copious amounts of seafood throughout our stays. My recent trip to Cox’s Bazar, some 20 odd years later, however, was starkly contrasting in that the circumstance was dire, one which continues to sit steep in my mind.
