Deep ’DeshThe Bengal Gaze[18 April 2007] by Kathryn HummelThe minute I step out of my flat, Bangladesh drags me into its unique intensity; and without home as a point of reference, I am left without my level of reasoning.
Loved this column! Found the writing vivid to the point of hypnotic...I’m already parched to read more. When’s the next installment?? Comment by Christine from Italy — April 20, 2007 @ 9:36 am Thanks for the kind words, Christine, I’m so glad you enjoyed my column. The next ‘Bengal Gaze’ will be available around the same time next month. Happy journey to you! Comment by Kathryn from Dhaka — April 21, 2007 @ 10:02 pm Interesting to read a visitor’s perspective. I look forward to the upcoming installments.

It really nice to read your explanation, your realisation, as well as your findings about my poor country. Most welcome to write more collumns on my country’s success, its natural beauty, poor people’s hospitality. looking four your new writing on Bangladesh.

Guided by a Bengali PoetKathryn Hummel04.Jun.08 When people ask what my Bangladesh life was like, I will say that at its best, it followed the path of the poet Jibanananda Das. 
The Rickshaw as an Endangered SpeciesKathryn Hummel29.Feb.08 Bangladesh's endangered rickshaws and wallahs serve as brightly coloured, moving works of art, and as constant, mobile displays of human nature – often at its best. 
In Conversation with Bangladeshi Poet, Kaiser HaqKathryn Hummel02.Jan.08 There are more than a dozen languages spoken in Bangladesh. English is a presence, a second language, in which poets such as Haq can be found.
