Wrapping up the week at LEED-Lawyers for Energy, Environment and Development with a crash course in “situationships,” courtesy of our esteemed colleague Farhan Aziz.
New additions to my collection explore the evolving intersections of artificial intelligence, cybercrime, privacy, and law. Plenty to read, reflect on, and bring into practice.
At LEED-Lawyers for Energy, Environment and Development , every case begins with careful research, thoughtful discussion and a shared commitment to justice. Together, we uphold the trust placed in us.
Working through the weekend, driven by our commitment to LEED-Lawyers for Energy, Environment and Development and the responsibilities entrusted to us.
I contributed to the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights’ online consultation on “Addressing Legacy Human Rights Harms,” emphasizing adequately funded remedy plans with clear responsibilities, timelines, and measurable outcomes, including safeguards when businesses close or transfer assets. Drawing on Bangladesh’s context, I also highlighted the need for practical guidance for developing economies across industrial safety, land acquisition, energy, infrastructure, and pollution, recognizing smaller businesses’ capacity constraints while ensuring effective remedies for affected communities.
After a period of tragedy and transition, LEED-Lawyers for Energy, Environment and Development moves forward in its new premises with resilience, renewed purpose and an unwavering commitment to justice.
Together at LEED-Lawyers for Energy, Environment and Development , we reaffirm our commitment to advancing justice, protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development through law.
Beneath my mentor’s portrait, I am reminded of how much I owe to his wisdom, kindness and faith in me.

Remembering with profound respect and gratitude my Senior and LEED-Lawyers for Energy, Environment and Development ’s mentor, Mr. A. F. Hassan Ariff, former Attorney General for Bangladesh and former Adviser to the Caretaker and Interim Governments.
Without his mentorship, I would not be who I am today.
“পৃথিবীর পথ ছেড়ে, সন্ধ্যার মেঘের রঙ খুঁজে হৃদয় ভাসিয়া যায়, সেখানে সে কারে ভালোবাসে!”— জীবনানন্দ দাশ।
ক্যান্সারের সঙ্গে প্রাণপণ লড়াই করে ২০২০ সালের ৫ অক্টোবর, সোমবার আম্মা ইহলোক ছেড়ে পরলোকে পাড়ি জমিয়েছেন। আজ আম্মাকে ছাড়া ছয় বছর। সময় চলে যায়, জীবনও এগিয়ে চলে, কিন্তু আম্মার শূন্যতা পূরণ হয় না। কিছু অভাব বোধ হয় সারাজীবন বুকের ভেতর বয়ে বেড়াতে হয়.......
আম্মা, তোমাকে আর একবার “আম্মা” বলে ডেকে সাড়া পাওয়ার আকুলতা আজও একটুও কমেনি। কত কথা বলা হলো না.......
আমার সেই অসহনীয় শোকের সময়ে আমাকে সাহস ও মানসিক দৃঢ়তা জুগিয়ে পাশে দাঁড়িয়েছিলেন ড. রেহনুমা আহমেদ, ড. সায়দিয়া গুলরুখ, আমার বন্ধু রেজা (Rezaur Rahman Lenin), আমার বোন ডা. নবনীতা দিদি (Nabanita Chakraborty), মামা ডা. ইমরুল হাসান খান (Emrul Khan Emon), মামী Dr. Naima Ferdoushi, প্রফেসর ডা. তাসমিম ফারহানা দিপ্তা আপু এবং ডা. রায়হান ভাই।
আপনারা পাশে ছিলেন বলেই আমি ও আমার পরিবারের সদস্যরা গভীর শোকের মধ্যেও মনোবল ধরে রাখতে পেরেছিলাম। সেই সময়ের আপনাদের মমতা, সাহস আর সহায়তা কোনোদিন ভুলব না। আপনাদের কাছে আমার এই ঋণ আজীবনের।
আম্মা, তুমি নেই বহুদিন, তবু আমার সমস্ত ভালোবাসায়, সমস্ত না বলা কথায় তুমি আছো।
My first-ever footprint in the GCC and the Middle East was spent exploring Doha’s vibrant local market, Souq Waqif, the Museum of Islamic Art, and the beautiful Katara Cultural Village.
In Iseltwald, Switzerland, I" am a wanderer roads are my companions, horizons my destination. From land to land, I travel not merely to see the world, but to discover a little more of life along the way.”
