​I'm from Bangladesh, but also call The Mountain West my (second)home. I enjoy driving cars, playing badminton, watching cricket & soccer and, obviously, listening Pink Floyd (listen to this instrumental by PF!).
When I don't work or drive, I usually spend the time with my family - Dilruba, Auritra (11) and Noura (5). Dilruba and I also volunteer for children with special needs.
