Aminul's hands move automatically-spoon, sugar, condensed milk, stir-while his mind drifts through decades of broken promises.

Pakistan and Afghanistan locked in a spiral of strifeThe wind was thick with whitish smoke, the unmistakable scent of gunpowder mingling with the acrid stench of scorched earth.

India, the US and the dance of the alleged deep stateIn geopolitics, where alliances are crafted with the precision of a master weaver at a Dhakai loom and rivalries simmer like a pot of bhuna khichuri (a rich, mixed dish of rice and pulses) on a rainy day, a new act has taken the stage.
