More About Me

I'm passionate about

bicycle,green building and sustainable energy. Crazy about cycles and trying to make a local bicycle using local renewable stuff. and trying to understand the scope opportunity of green building.

An idea worth spreading

Cut spending, do not go after more money. We, the Bangladeshis most of the time do not understand how much we wasting, in terms of money and time. try to decrease that. Life will be easy. Do not blame the government or anyone else for your misfortune or bad results. Think If you did what it means to be an active citizen. And also you are not the only one trying to work alone, so do not lose hope if you know you are doing something great.

Talk to me about

Anything. politics, history, economics anything. I am a great fan of learning and working.I may not know everything but doesn't mean I can't hear and learn.

People don't know that I'm good at

fixing stuffs. I can fix mobile phones, computers, bicycles, plumbing equipments(:D) and many more. most cases I don't charge cause it's like a game to me. I like fixing things.

My TED Story

I am new in TED and I admit that. New in the sense not exploring the things TED has(since April 2007) in the website, but I am not new to the TED talks. I saw first TED talk last year where an Indian woman described how she innovated & modified things to do things for her uncle. I don't remember the title but still I got it in my mind.
So, I think you may get the idea how much I liked it. Recently I got involved in TEDxDhaka and came to know how much potential this site contains. I hope others will know about it too.

During the process of TEDxDhaka, the experience was so good that, now almost everyday I watch some talk, gather my thoughts about it. And I am trying to translate some of the talks too.

TED has changed my ways of thinking and my life. Thank you TED...:)
