Biography

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.
