Why This Journey Matters
Bangladesh is more than just a point on a map—it is the waves of rivers, the roar of storms, people’s laughter, and an endless dialogue of dreams. To truly understand this country, one must walk its paths, cross its rivers, and engage in smiling conversations with its people. My goal is simple: to faithfully portray the daily courage, indomitable beauty, and stories of the people of Bangladesh.
And the universe? It is also a vast journey—where our Earth is just a single dot. My aim is simple: to weave together human courage, the beauty of our planet, and the wonders of the universe into a single thread.
"To understand Bangladesh, you must walk its paths, cross the river waves, and experience people’s laughter.
To understand the universe, you must lift your eyes to the sky." — This guiding mantra has driven my travels.

Journey Through the Universe
When we look at the night sky, our eyes catch billions of twinkling stars, but behind each point of light lies a story of time, energy, and the unknown. My writing now touches those very stories — from the mysterious arrival of ‘Oumuamua to the silent pull of black holes, from the birth and death of stars to the endless journey of time and light.
I am searching for that delicate bridge where human curiosity merges with the silence of the universe. Just as we see life in the flow of rivers, we find reflections of existence in the spin of galaxies. Even a speck of dust contains the ingredients of stars — this realization drives my writing.
Writing about the universe is not merely scientific analysis; these are journeys of perception, feeling, and self-exploration. I believe that the further we reach the farthest stars, the better we understand our own inner universe.
"The sky we look at is also within us."
In this chapter, I aim to explore beyond the limits of time, light, gravity, and life sciences — where we came from, where we are going, and what our place is in this vast universe.
Final Words: Stories and Starlight
On this site, I share my travel reflections, scientific curiosity, and thoughts on politics, society, and economy. Each post is a chapter—some written by the riverbank, some under the stars—where Bangladesh’s beauty, challenges, and potential unfold alongside countless known and unknown wonders of the universe.
