If I'm not thinking about research, I'm probably thinking about typing away short stories or musings (yes, I really did mean thinking about typing). Language to me is fascinating, and writing may just be my favorite form of communication. I have, on and off, had the opportunity to write a few things and create a few things here and there, I'll be linking them here from time to time.
I spent four years working as a freelance writer for The Daily Star, which is one of the leading English newspapers in Bangladesh. My work included researching on local and international trends, collaborating with other talented writers, and writing for the weekly sections Lifestyle and Next Step. I wrote articles covering social issues, career development, musings, and lifestyle, both for print and for the online platform. You can find my published articles here.
I also wrote two short stories in The Mason Jar published by Worthy Publications, a local publishing house in Bangladesh. Buy the book here!
BRACUExpress is the campus newspaper of BRAC University, Bangladesh. I joined as a contributing writer when the paper was first founded, with the goal to connect the different campuses of the university. We were a small team, working on developing the concept of the paper, getting the required approvals and finally, launching the paper. I was part of the editorial board the year after, and a lot of our focus was on creating a vision for the paper. In its early days, it was an just 8-page monthly paper. Now, its super exciting to see them grow and be both online and in print!
