If we look around us today, the most common words we hear are "anxiety" and "depression." Often, the true root cause remains undiscovered because it stems from overthinking - a vicious cycle that can make us feel like we are destroying ourselves, forbidding us from speaking out about our true feelings and opinions.

But wait, is there a way to express all of this without speaking, especially when an introverted nature holds you back?

Of course there is. Through painting, sketching, or drawing, you can express yourself without the fear of being judged or targeted for your thoughts. Taking a blank white canvas and letting your intrusive thoughts "win" by randomly filling the space with colors is one of the greatest forms of therapy a person can experience.

In short, the core message of this article is to remind you that no one can be a better doctor for you than yourself. Not even your parents or an experienced doctor can truly take that place. While you are just one person among many in their lives parents have other siblings to care for, and doctors have countless other patients to treat, you only have yourself. To truly heal, you must become your own mentor. One of the best ways to start is by drawing, looking at what you created, and figuring out the true meaning behind your own art.

From envelopes carrying unsaid words to letters folded with tenderness, we’re grateful Daak Chithi could become a home for emotions that often remain unspoken.

Eid has always been more than a celebration. It is the warmth of returning home, the quiet prayers made for loved ones, the laughter shared across crowded rooms, and the people we carry in our hearts no matter the distance between us.

In a world that moves so quickly, thank you for still choosing sincerity. Thank you for trusting Daak Chithi with your memories, your confessions, your longing, your love, and the small fragments of yourselves that make us human.

May this Eid bring softness to weary hearts, closeness to distant souls, and countless moments worth writing about.

Eid Mubarak from our Daak to yours.

Rainy days reflect my mood swings. Sometimes the arrival of rain feels overwhelming, acting like an uninvited guest coming to ruin my peace.

Other days, I feel overjoyed when heavy clouds cry and classes get canceled. The whole city stops; even workaholics take small breaks to stare into the sky's teary eyes, remembering to call loved ones they miss deep down.

During heavy storms, I become unproductive. As the sky sings a sweet rhythmic lullaby, I sleep peacefully like a newborn baby, hugging my blanket tight against the cold breeze.

Recalling old memories, nostalgia hits. Tears fall from my eyes and the sky as we grieve together. The poet in me is reborn, writing as clouds express emotions by thunder.

Still, some days rain is just a mischievous child delaying important work. Ultimately, rainy days do not bring rainbows for all.

While the storm brings me cozy comfort, street residents get soaked, facing the harsh reality of being homeless. It is a quiet reminder that my beautiful lullaby is a difficult truth for those without a roof over their heads.

The rhythm of rain is probably the purest melody to exist. It’s as if nature is preparing to welcome the arrival of something ethereal. Dark cloudy skies, cool winds that take away your melancholy and a quiet stillness that feels like holding your breath before opening a surprise gift. When I was little, I used to think that the sky was crying. I would think to myself, “What could the sky possibly be so sad about?”

Although now I know all the science-y stuff behind it, the appeal for rain has not faded in the slightest. Rather, my heart silently craves for the gloom and the drizzle even more now. I remember the rain scene from the song “Tumse Hi” and smile to myself, thinking how much I would love to recreate that vibe with someone! Until then, I will stand underneath the vast sky with my arms outstretched, soaking in the gentle coolness that rain brings and washing away any hint of sorrow.

As I’m dealing with the dilemma of whether to take an afternoon nap in this soft humming weather or to live in the moment with my ears open, perhaps with a book to dive deep into an imaginary world or with my guitar to jam along with the rhythm of the rain, of course a cup of tea has to be present either way. Yes, rain is something I’ve always preferred over sunlight.

The rhythm it paints in the air distracts me from my regular chores and insists that I become hopelessly poetic for a while. Whether I’m inside a curtained room, on a bus, or sitting at a tea stall, I can hear my mind reciting poems made from the sound of rain.

A rainy morning embraces my soul with a subtle warmth, while the night no longer feels empty even when the world around me is asleep. Rain arrives like an orchestra that never waits for applause, then leaves behind a peaceful scent and a serene silence. And within that atmosphere, I become a little nostalgic for the life I left behind long ago.

I do not belong to the rain. Yet, whenever something unnamed begins to fracture within me, it arrives as though it has been watching me from afar.

The sky lowers into hues of ash, the wind turns cold, and the first drops descend with the hush of a confession. Then the world grows murky and far-flung, as if everything redundant has been gently erased.

There is a peculiar mercy in that sound. Rain does not heal me. Rather, it does something quieter. It sits behind the ruins I keep hidden and lays a cool hand upon them. Each drop seems to carry a sorrow older than my own, and in that shared melancholy, I find an unexpected peace. The dark clouds feel like thoughts too heavy for words. The damp air smells of memory. And the steady cadence on the window is like a lullaby for the parts of me that are forever searching for a place to rest.

I do not love rainy days like the other people do. But when my soul begins to lose its way, the rain returns like an old, silent companion, saying nothing, yet somehow understanding everything.

Home. A four letter word, yet it carries the power to take us back to the places that gave flavor to our lives.

Home is never just walls, doors, or a roof. It is made of the moments we grew up in, the laughter that once filled the rooms, and the memories tucked quietly into every corner. Some places do not simply exist, they carry our entire childhood and adulthood.

I grew up in a joint family home, where life always felt full. There was movement, noise, warmth, and the comfort of knowing someone was always nearby. Then in December 2024, our family became nuclear. Later, in 2026, we moved out as well.

I thought that once we left, the home would become just another house. But it did not.

It remains the place where I grew up. The place where my parents got married. The place that witnessed my childhood, my awkward growing years, and some of the happiest moments of my life. Its walls have seen joy, change, tears, celebrations, and ordinary days that now feel priceless.

Even though we moved away, that home still holds memories as fresh as honey. Time may pass, people may leave, and life may change shape, but in my mind that place will never stop being home.

And somewhere deep inside, I like to believe that in another life, we will return to those same rooms, those same corners, with the same people, and feel that same warmth all over again.

There is an enchantment in Chittagong, an inexplicable tranquility that never announces itself but finds its place deep within the recesses of one’s heart. This place means much more than just a city for me; it is a feeling that I carry with me wherever my journey may take me.

Maybe it lies in the imposing stillness of the hills, which watch over everything silently, or in the ceaseless murmuring of the ocean, always telling tales to the shores. In this place, nature does not remain a stranger; it becomes a friend. Even the slightest breeze and the lush greenery become companions in their own ways.

The moments I cherish the most about my hometown are anything but dramatic; on the contrary, they are rather mundane, yet very personal to me. Spending an evening contemplating at sunset, taking silent rides through well-known paths, laughing without any reason whatsoever, and finally pausing just long enough to take a breath.

In other words, what I love about Chittagong is the way it is capable of holding chaos and silence in perfect harmony. It teaches one how life can be imperfect and beautiful at the same time.

Wherever in life I find myself, there will be a part of me forever tied up with this land, which gave birth to my soul’s sense of serenity.

As a child raised within a crowded household, I once dreamed of escaping the very hometown that now holds the softest corners of my heart. It was my hometown that truly shaped me into the person I am today.

Most of my childhood was spent inside a hostel building where my mother worked as a provost. Family never meant just my parents and my sister, but each and every student as well.They were like sisters whose laughter filled the hallways, their affection wrapped around my childhood, and every room remaining vivid in my memory carrying stories I know by heart.

Birthdays, ramadan, any sort of special day felt like magic. The hall room would glow with people, voices, and tiny gifts held in warm hands. To a child like me, it felt surreal. I admired those students endlessly, especially the international ones who seemed to carry entire worlds within them. Through them, I discovered unfamiliar cuisines, different languages, and stories from places I had never seen.

Looking back now, I realize my hometown did not simply give me memories—it gave me wonder.
