Biography

There has been quite a few Nirjhars over the years – an active architect and designer in Bangladesh trying to break out of stereotypical concepts, an art organizer trying to keep a network of young artists working together, an award winning photographer, an all-round writer applying his skills to the area of poems, short stories, plays, and songs, a musician, a social worker, a film maker, and very much a maverick all his life. It takes a very conscious decision to choose from his many incarnations, all equally successful. Most would rather settle on the identity of a maverick for this restless creator born in 29 November 1962 , a decade the people of Bangladesh rediscovered themselves. With so much done and so much seen he still never fails to keep the biggest happening in his life alive in his mind – the Liberation War of Bangladesh of 1971 – when Bangladesh rose from the its ashes to tell the world how the spirit of a nation can not be killed ever. It is difficult for this Architect of the Year for 2005 to forget the war that burnt down the very house he grew up in. It is even more difficult to stop persuading near impossible dreams and realizing them, too.
