“CAMPUS NEWS: Capstone reimbursements are late, so is the rent”, for The Morningside Post, a campus newspaper at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs on April 21, 2023. I reported on how graduate students have to front thousands of dollars of travel costs up front for a required research project, and the Columbia administration’s lethargic reimbursement process has left scores of students without funds to cover basic costs like rent.
“The Sounds of Jackson Heights” is a short documentary I filmed and produced for The Bengal Gazette, a Bengali cultural magazine based at University of California, Berkeley. The film features an iconic, multicultural neighborhood in Jackson Heights, Queens, in New York City, which transcends the boundaries of religion, nationality and language as people from different South Asian regions unite over food and local business.
The Indian Express, a large national newspaper in India ran a story on Sikun Relief Foundation, a non-governmental organization based in Assam, which has been pushing the state government of Assam to classify menstrual hygiene products as an essential flood relief item distributed during relief efforts. The story featured a photograph that I had taken in its print and online edition on May 30, 2021, of Mayuri Bhattacharjee, the organization’s founder, leading a menstrual hygiene workshop in rural Assam.
