About Me

- Originally, I am from Bangladesh, now settled in Canada. I am a blogger, writer, translator, journalist, and photographer. I studied Journalism at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh (1972), and Communications Arts at the University of Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. (1977). I am the former editor of the ‘Pratibeshi’ (the national Catholic weekly in Bangladesh) and former Associate Director of World Vision of Bangladesh, Dhaka.
