Bio
Tanvir Khan
Zillur, my dear friend has been one of the classmates at the University of Dhaka in the Department of Economics who was always ahead of his time. His room at Surja Sen Hall was always prim and proper reflecting the organized person that he is. His hospitality knows no bound as I always found refuge in his room during recess from the classes. In fact he gave crash course on how to re-energize by taking a 10 minutes nap. Such was his mind-control. Later in life, we were not surprised that he found a place in the care-taker Government since the ingredients he possesses have classified him to be in the upper echelons of administration (that too governing the country). I wish him well in later life and pray that he receives more challenging jobs in the future.
