Indian migrants from Singapore, other countries set to send record $136 billion back home in 2022 | The Straits Times

Highly skilled Indian migrants living in wealthy nations such as the United States, Britain and Singapore are sending more money home, according to the report. Over the years, Indians have moved away from doing lower-paid work in places like the Gulf. Wage hikes, record-high employment and a weakening rupee also supported growth.

Blue Crabs Migrating to Maine from Chesapeake Bay – NBC Boston

Blue crabs are now in Maine.

This means they are no longer exclusive to Chesapeake Bay.  The Gulf of Maine continues to warm at the fastest rate of any body of water in the world in the last five years.  And this could be a reason why the crabs are expanding their migration pattern northward.

Migration turning hill villages into ghost towns

“Most of my neighbours have moved to Kathmandu to work in factories, construction sites and as drivers there. In most of the houses, one can see only old people. Agriculture has been the way of life in the villages for so long and those who have remained are carrying the tradition forward. But if the young keep leaving the villages, this way of life will soon become extinct,” Magar told the Post.

The Nation shall call upon the poet

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Vĩnh Tài
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Photography: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

.

when facing the barrel of a gun at sea

The Nation shall call upon the poets

as fishermen call upon The Nation

.

beyond the call of The Nation

the fishermen shall bite their tongue and listen

the poems

as they lay iced in the hold ready for shore

.

they shall ask the poets:

– Now gentlemen

why won’t you bite your tongue

swallow a gulp of seawater

so the words may understand the saltiness

of salt

.

yet needed is blood, needed more here is salt

so your throat

can feel

the burning pain

of a wound

the chirpy tweets of birds

which keeps peeling but would never scar

when I’m barely awake

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Đinh Trường Chinh
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Art: Đinh Trường Chinh

.

this morning I heard

the birds in the trees

discern the dying leaves

bubbling away in the middle of the forest

scents of last night’s storm

damp still

discern I the colour of the sunlight

lighting up one layer of the forest after the other

this morning

I couldn’t be bothered with breathing.

.

this morning. I could discern again

the third beat in my heart

like a dream

someone calling me by name

in the early morning light in the streets

a city remote. far away

at 6:10 in the morning

or perhaps it is just an echo

from a night long ago.

.

today I can hear the birds sing

smell the leaves / the rain / the pillars of smoke

on the way home

the smallest thought in the wind

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

A poem in Vietnamese by Đinh Trường Chinh
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm
Art: Đinh Trường Chinh

.

let’s us think of each other

pray for one another

overcoming adversity is something we do

.

the small things in all that’s immeasurable are never meaningless

keep sending it to each other, be it the smallest thought in the wind

live on, pass it on, by an undemanding awareness

.

July 2021

hãy nghĩ đến nhau

cầu nguyện cho nhau

chúng ta đều đã hơn một lần vượt qua khổ nạn

.

những điều nhỏ nhặt trong cõi vô lượng này không bao giờ vô nghĩa

cứ gửi đến nhau, dù chỉ là một ý nghĩ thoáng bay trong mây gió

cứ sống và trao đi, trong một tâm thức vô cầu

.

minh hoạ sáng. đtc
