Civic engagement cannot be reactionary, as many political orgs. are reappearing or being formed to gain int'l legitimacy with the guise of the representatives of the Rohingya population.

Every corner of the Rohingya Cultural Memory Centre () reminded us who we are and where we come from. Visiting with friends made it even more powerful—laughing, learning, and holding onto the roots we refuse to forget. This is not just a memory, rather, it’s resistance.

Finals Season Feels Like Battling a Hydra?

Every time you finish one task,
two more seem to pop up?
Take a breath.
You’re not alone in this fight.

But here’s the truth:
You are strong enough.
You have come this far.
And just like every monster in the stories,
this one has an end too.

Step by step. Head by head.
You’ll win this battle—
not by being perfect,
but by not giving up.

Keep going, warrior.
The finish line is closer than you think.

The Capsizing Boat

A boat, too full,
brimful with innocent and naive souls,
in the hope of a safe refuge,
trembled for the safety of their children,
fleeing to someone's land,
But fear in every glance.

The river surges while
the Arakan Army strikes drones,
Unforgiving and heartbreaking,
And they tumble,
One by one,
Into the murky depths.

The blooming buds screamed for help,
“Papa, Save Me, I'm Drowning.”
the parents hardly lend a helping hand,
Hapless and helpless.

Arms flail,
Desperate for something to hold,
But the boat leans further,
Unable to bear the weight.

Cries for help mix with the sound of water,
Some will rise,
Some will not,
The river swallows,
And moves on.
