Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine. We just spent a wonderful week together w/ family in Cambridge—his hug as strong as always last night when we said bye! He is teaching 2 courses a week at Harvard, working on his gender book—busy as ever!

In his broad shadow round the farm.”

I’m thinking of the rituals we share with our
#fathers
…Reading the papers over coffee in our
#Santiniketan
patio is certainly one of them. And Meghla always participates in this very enthusiastically!

Have you seen this dress before?💃🏽 Many times! I still wear it, decades later.
A favorite—my first backless sundress—it transports me to a field of wildflowers each time.
I’m SO ready for summer!🌻

Tomorrow is Ma’s birthday…Anniversaries are so hard, aren’t they, when our loved ones are no longer with us?
Let’s remind ourselves that it’s okay to feel both joy & sorrow. Celebrate their lives, as their legacy lives on in the love & lessons they left behind♥️

“Once there was a mother,
In her mind, her heart,
Her style, her art,
She was like none other”
Here’s a joint tribute from me & my sister Antara—an English adaptation I did of a lovely Bangla poem by Didi.
Miss you so, Ma.
Bhalo-Basha is desolate without you.
Happy birthday♥️

Here I go up in my swing
Ever so high.
I am the lord of the sea, the lord
Of the town!
I am the lord of the earth, the lord
Of the sky.
Here I go up in my swing...
Now I go down.

Have a swinging & sunny weekend!
