Nafisa grew up in Queens NY, got some sort of degree in Ethnic Studies and Political Economy, worked in youth organizing/nonprofit, then moved to Kolkata as an AIF fellow. We are being paan for halloween.
My first thought was, oh god, i have always been halfassed about costumes so I could easily get a grey pant + top and be a taxi driver. but then we came up with paan. It was the least exploitative option.
Also. My main impetus for loosing weight these days is so I won’t get hit by a passing bus when I’m sitting on the edge of an auto. I don’t want to creep anyone out but a woman that had joined my NGO a few years ago was riding in our auto (we rent one to go into the villages and for audio campaigns ect since the roads are too small for big vehicles) and she lost a leg. A passing auto rubbed off her leg. I’m not kidding.
Good day!
