My struggle with a chronic disease and the resultant mental impact of that disease. How I am trying to overcome the debilitating effects and how successful I've been.
Durga pujo
The following article was published in October 2018 in DURGA: DOSHODISHI. This is an in-house magazine published by KUNDU BARI in Kolkata, India and not for sale.
