 I am a male dancer. In Bangladesh, dancing is considered graceful only for girls. It is still a taboo for boys in our        society. Through dancing I want to show people that male dancers can be masculine too. My dancing also speaks for minorities of the society such as the transgender people. This is my "I'm made in Bangladesh" story.

I came to Dhaka four years ago when I started my university life. As days passed, I began to see the suffering of the children on Dhaka streets. Innocent kids on the streets often fall prey to child labour and illegal activities. With an intention to change their lives, I have decided to give them the light of education. Though this journey does not seem easy, I will achieve my goal with the help of the Almighty, my courage and knowledge, and people's support. I know I can bring smiles to the faces of these children because I'm made in Bangladesh.

Believe it or not, the happiest moment for me was when I got a visa refusal letter from the Canadian High Commission, My parents had wanted me to study abroad and settle down there, and showing respect to them, I applied and was accepted by a renowned university. But I feel that I can live a happy life with inner peace and dignity only when I’m in my beloved country. And now I’m doing fine with my study and my life. This photo was taken after getting that letter.

When I hoist the Banglaldeshi flag 16,499ft above the ground at Roopkunda, and when I represent Bangladesh among 14 rappers, I feel like I am “made in Bangladesh.”
