I was Accounts Officer. But wild plant and nature my passion. So I read about Botany, Taxonomy and Biodiversity with the difficult task as “Identification of Plant kingdom”. I found new species and new records from Bangladesh as an Independent researcher. Those will be published soon. I love my country as well as its nature. Went to many places for plant collection and captured photographs. Like, Sundarbans, Sylhet, Lawachara, Jaintapur, Kuakata, Coxbazar-Marine road, Inani, Saint Martin, Chera dwip, Dinajpur, Rangamati, Bandarban, Khagrachory, Sajek, Sitakunda eco-park, Chittagong, Naval academy, Potenga, Natore, Rajshahi, Puthia, Dhaka and my home town Bogura district. I live in RDA Campus, Bogura. There are so many plants here as well as exotic and wild also. I went to many places in Bogura for collection of plants. Like, Sherpur, Sazapur, Khorna, Jamalpur bamboo forest. Also, the roadside plants and Korotoa river side plants also. I have a garden of 100 species plants. That plants collected form upper places that have been visited. Also collection of new species and new record plants (Images and herbarium sheets material). Yes, it’s a hard task for me as a non-botanic background. But my passion and love for nature did this. My 1^st book with Dr. Kamrul Haque as a co-author. Book named “100 medicinal plants”. All the images of that book with my photography. I read about the medicinal value of all plants and captured 1000 species plants photography by own. The 2^nd book named “Rajkandi Medicinal Plants” also co-author with Dr. Kamrul Haque. 3^rd book also with him named “Shimul Gandha Raat”- a romantic poem book. This 4^th book with Mohammad Salah Uddin a PhD student. He also wrote 4 books. I want to thanks to Khairul Alam Sir, Dr. Md Ashrafuzzaman Sir, Dr. Mahbuba Sultana Apu and my co-authors for their contributions.
