I
spent my childhood in Bangladesh. Old town was the place where I grew
up. A vast area of my past is occupied by old Dhaka. Afterwards
our family got shifted to Gulshan. My parents helped me know the world outside. They accompanied me everywhere. That does not mean I had
no independence in movement. In my childhood I met many famous persons which
helped me build up my personality.

We
didn't get a role model at that time. My father encouraged me in that way. He

the same studies. He realized that a woman could the same things, which a man
can do. But my mother was that positive towards her daughters' education and
career .She was not negative either. Now I have developed my career and status
and my own business.
