Sometimes, a dressing room trial is not enough. Sometimes, you have to buy a shirt, wear it in public, and see yourself looking rubbish in photos before you get that you shouldn’t have gotten that.

We did a #ShareeBondona video, so how could we not do a #LungiBondona one?! Please send your lungi videos to us at info@khiyo.com in landscape mode. We were practising for a Lungi Bondona video call out but had such a laugh that we decided to share the unedited practice video.

A warm cuddle against her mother's skin can be life-saving for a premature baby. 💙 'Kangaroo care', used here at a @UNICEF-supported hospital in Bangladesh, helps regulate breathing and body temperature and encourages bonding between parents and their newborn. #EveryChildAlive

I have been wondering since last year what it would take to get the British riled up against such madly hiked prices, and it turns out that we don’t get riled up. We suffer silently till we can’t anymore. 💔

How to recreate a festival at home: - Don’t shower until next week - Don’t flush your toilet - Say “oh my god” in horror every time you open the bathroom door - Say “I’ll be okay in a minute” a lot - Lose your phone - Have an existential crisis - Spend hours trying to

British media describing the current weather: “Much of the UK was hotter than Monaco and the French Riviera where temperatures languished in the low 20s”. Languished? It’s not a beauty contest. We’re not going to win for being hotter.

After a lifetime of singing in #Bengali, I am out on #RealWorldX singing in a made up language. This composition, by @JocelynPook (Desh, Eyes Wide Shut), is from @AkramKhanLive’s Jungle Book Reimagined. Currently in the middle of its 3-year world tour.

My introduction to #Bonbibi was via my brilliant friend @AnnuJal. There is now an album’s worth of music on the theme by @khiyoband, @LeesaGazi & @KomolaC to release. 😊
I interviewed the very knowledgeable @AnnuJal on the Sundarbans. Annu's breadth of knowledge on Sundarbans is amazing. Listen to Annu on tiger charmers, the fragile balance of the forests and the legend of Bonbibi. For Suno India
