Today evening at the Bangladeshi Centre Singapore was a time when a group of Danish teenagers interacted with creative migrant artists over music and food. They spent a day of sport and and bonding earlier. The food they ate was from Dhaka on Makan paper as workers normally eat on.

Space creates conversations and two groups of humans from different perspectives met mid way over sport and curry, universal de monitors of belonging. The session was joined in by researchers from local and Malaysian universities.

All credit to Mr. Mohsin for the arrangements which take toil and perseverance to create these spaces of solidarity.

Was an honour to call upon Mohsin Dada, my migration mentor in Singapore at his office and cultural space on his 60th birthday! A man who has helped many researchers build their careers, while he supports the community full time.

I learnt the fundamentals of migration from him a decade back and since have been a volunteer ever since. It only seems fitting to be writing my PhD on migration now.
