Born in Khulna, Bangladesh, I had a very eventful childhood. My father the late Dr. Abdur Rasheed was an army doctor who along with his family became \u00a0a prisoner of war during the independence war of Bangladesh against West Pakistan. I returned to independent Bangladesh in 1971 with my parents.
I completed my Bachelor and Masters in Applied Physics & Electronics and came to USA for higher studies. After completion of my studies I worked and lived in various parts of USA as an IT Professional before coming to Canada. Today I live in GTA (Greater Toronto Area) with my family.
I started writing from an early age. My first novel was published in the year 1986 and was instantly a hit. I have over a dozen novels in Bangla and many short stories.
Lately, I am focusing my writing primarily in English (short stories, essays, screenplays, translations) and have received one award for a screenplay and praise for my short stories.
I have written several manuscripts in English (couple of Young Adult fictions, one women’s fiction and one non-fiction based on my wartime experience as a boy) and am actively looking for literary agents and publishers. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
