At sixteen, a shop window in Delhi taught me the first law of making things: before an idea can be understood, it must make someone stop. I have followed that moment for twenty-six years. Sometimes the window became a cinema screen. Children of War, our first feature film, was released worldwide, received 48 international awards, and became the first foreign film preserved in Bangladesh’s national film archive. It prompted recorded discussions in the European Parliament, the British House of Commons, and the United States Congress, and helped inspire a parliamentary decision recognising the women who survived that war. Along the way came the privilege of learning from—and directing—Farooque Shaikh, Pavan Malhotra, Tillotama Shome, Raima Sen, and a wondrous young Riddhi Sen. The awards came later. The work was finding language strong enough to face history without turning suffering into spectacle. Many documentaries came before and after the feature—across history, culture, music, public life, and private memory. Each remained with reality until it revealed its true shape. Other ideas asked for other forms. Papa Ki Pathshala made education playful, because knowledge enters differently when curiosity opens the door. Anonymusic released albums on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, and other platforms—songs born in one room finding listeners in another. Stories became books, scripts, and essays. Arguments became advertising. A thought became a poster; a campaign became a visual language; an exhibition gave an idea a room. Product design asked beauty to become useful. Audio gave silence a pulse. A medium, I learned, is only the temporary body an idea borrows. Briefs have arrived from the United Nations, governments, national brands, communities, and individuals. Some came with institutions behind them. Others carried little more than need. Each asked to be understood before it could be solved. Then came code. AI can search, compare, organise, calculate, generate, and repeat. But it cannot care whether an answer is honest, whether a sentence has a soul, or whether the thing being made deserves to exist. So the machine receives the repetition. Human attention returns to judgment. Python automation, research pipelines, web scraping, data systems, document workflows, Excel, structured analysis, and AI-assisted production serve the same purpose as that first shop window: making complexity visible, useful, and worth stopping for. This Freelancer profile is new. The practice behind it is not. Familiar briefs are welcome. So are unfinished, cross-disciplinary problems still discovering what they need to become. I do not claim every answer in advance—only the confidence to meet the unfamiliar without mistaking it for the impossible. Some assignments need one excellent skill. Others need story and structure, imagination and execution, beauty and use. For those, perhaps this is where the search ends.

Film taught me how to invent a world; documentary, when not to. I wrote and directed Children of War, released in India and Bangladesh and honoured with 48 international awards. Before and after the feature came documentaries on history, music and public life—for the Ministries of Culture and Home Affairs, the National Mission for Manuscripts, UN bodies and private clients—alongside branded and music films. The discipline remains the same: stay with the subject until it reveals its true shape.

Maktub is the advertising and design side of the work. Campaigns and broadcast for Star Network, ESPN, HBO, Airtel, DLF, Afghan Telecom and the UN — some direct, some through agencies including Ogilvy & Mather. Advertising films, posters, brochures, packaging, identity systems. And window displays and showrooms, where the only test is whether someone walking past slows down. The same attention now goes into documents and data: reports, models, spreadsheets built to be handed over.
