My hobby is Astronomy. From my childhood
I was wondered the creation of universe watching various objects in the
sky. When I was studying in BUET I was involved with an association (BAA Bangladesh Astronomical Association) established in Dhaka. I entered in that association in 1993
as a simple member. In 1995 I joined a workshop about Astronomy. In 1996 space fest I was assistant
