Describe Your Self
Being born as a girl in conservative Muslim lower class family, it has always been tough to stand for education throughout. But my consistency opened a door when I secured rank 54 & 31 in 10th and 12th board exam respectively. Relying on the govt scholarships, I completed graduation in Electronics engineering. Since then, I have been working in an MNC. Till date, I have been the fifth person from my village and the first woman, who is doing a job after completing graduation.
Being a victim of oppression, my motto has been to raise voice for female empowerment & equality. I believe 'Pen is mightier than sword', therefore I have chosen poetry and blogging as my way of expression.
I have received several awards for these writings. Woman Employee award at office, Rewa Honourary Bina Dutta Smriti Puroskar -2019 (Poetry), Story Mirror 'Yes you can write season 2'- Audio, "Yes,you can write season 2" - "Author of the week" are few out of the crowd.
I have two published poetry books, "Andhokarer Kono Rong bodh Nei" & "Mondo Saidati" where the second book grabbed attention for voicing out the torments girl face in the name of rituals, religion & social traits. Additionally, several poems/write ups published in renowned bengali magazines like Sananda, Krittibas etc. I was also a former blogger for digital version of renowned bengali newspaper "Ei Samay". I am also a painter, have a youtube channel where I make people listen Audio stories.
I have taken responsibilities for education of two underprivileged girls.
My vision and mission is to stand for women empowerment using the tool of education. I dream of a future when no parent will lament for girl child, nobody will secretly opt for female foeticide, nobody will use religion, rituals or social traits to suppress women's progress.

As an individual, I always pen down my opinion on women and social issues by poetry or by blogging. I do painting and handcrafts on flower pots in leisure.

I am an youtuber and a self-taught baker alongside.
