During my student life at the college many of my English poems were published in a
reputed Weekly. For my Bengali poems I was awarded the title of “Kabya-Bharati” by Gaurha- Banga Sahitya Parishad, a literary organisation in Bangladesh.
In 1957 I passed my M.A. in International Relations from Dhaka University, Bangladesh. In 1959 I joined a secondary school in Dhaka as English teacher. In 1963 I came to London and successfully completed the journalism course of the London School of Journalism while I was teaching in Tower Hamlets in London.
In 1967 I went back to Dhaka and joined Sunday Holiday, an English Weekly paper. In 1968 I returned to London and for about 33 years I taught various subjects till I retired in 2001. I was Formerly Deputy Head of Year at Haggerston Girls school, Hackney, London and Formerly Head of the ESOL department at Hornsey School For Girls, Hornsey, London.
Many of my poems and articles have been published in a few Bengali weekly papers in London. Recently I have published 5 books of poems in Bengali.
I am connected with a few voluntary organisations. Since 1984 I am Founder President of Harmony Society and for 4 years I had been the Founder General Secretary of Over-50 Bangladeshi Society in Enfield, London.view less
