Two worlds colliding today! đŸ‡§đŸ‡Šâ¤ī¸đŸ‡¨đŸ‡Ļ
We Bangladeshis were born with a deep love for football, but our endless gratitude is with Canada, a country that lets us be unapologetically ourselves. Today, we have the absolute privilege of standing on home ground in Toronto to cheer for Canada in this historic moment! âšŊđŸŸī¸

Best of luck to our boys today, from the young stars to the veterans. Let’s make some noise! đŸ—Ŗī¸đŸ”Ĩ

May this Rabindra Jayanti remind us of our true purpose as an artist!

“Drown all my ego in tears.” A timeless reminder for a hyper-curated world.

Whenever I catch my ego inflating over a piece of work, feeling like I’ve done something profound, Tagore’s lyrics play like an absolute humbling mechanism in my head: ”Amar matha noto kore dao he tomar choronodhulir tole...” that means - (Let my head bow down to the dust of your feet. Drown all my ego in tears.) The follow-up verses are basically a timeless call-out post for our hyper-curated era. He wrote that when we obsess over glorifying ourselves, we actually insult our own potential, circling endlessly in the exhausting trap of our own ego.

The ultimate truth? Art isn’t a flex. It’s a grounding exercise. The exact moment you think you’ve “arrived” as an artist, the art leaves you. Real creativity demands you to be radically humble, a little unbothered by the applause, and deeply connected to your roots. You are just the vessel, you aren’t the source.

So, no grand artist statements today. Just a quiet reminder to keep the head bowed and the art honest, no matter how loud the internet gets.

Happy Rabindra Jayanti!
