Hi, I am a climate change and development scientist completing my second science degree here at ANU in environmental science. Currently I am exploring career goals in science communication, diplomacy and/or as a friendly environmental anthropology academic.  

As an Australian who was born in Bangladesh and trained in the UK, I am writing this blog to share my experiences with my fellow ANU students who also come from many different backgrounds but share a love for the things that make this campus so great.  

I have published two best seller Bengali novels, Shasuripuran (Uncovering the Mother in Law) and Shameesutra (The Husband Formula). I was awarded the City Anando Alo Literature Award for my debut Novel Shasuripuran in 2013 in Bangladesh. 

When I am not studying or writing for this blog, you might find me staring wistfully in the windows of high-end fashion shops, bargaining at saree shops in India or Bangladesh, or right here in Canberra reciting my poetry at the Front Gallery & Café.
