I graduated as an Architect and then started persuading my passion in the field of mountaineering. In order to keep up with the love of my life, I have incorporated documenting extreme sports in our country. In Bangladesh extreme sports hasn't been around for too long, and for what was around quite didn't set the mark for themselves. But rapidly people are advancing towards their dream, achieving new heights and new goals everywhere. Though I have just started documenting these sports, I feel that there is a lot to say about the lives of the people here who struggle not only with life but also with society. Acceptance of extreme sports is relatively low in our country, but that could never hold down the love and passion people have for them. I have yet to learn and explore so much. I hope to grow from the help of individuals in the community. So I hope that I would be able to keep up and not break down along the journey. Cheers! to the people who are writing their paths, defying the odds.
