Back in middle school I noticed something that bugged me. Almost everything worth reading about science was in English. If you were a curious kid in Bangladesh who didn't speak English fluently, you were pretty much locked out of astrophysics, deep learning, blockchain, all of it. That felt wrong.
I had been obsessed with astrophysics and computer science for as long as I can remember, and music was the other half of my brain. Somewhere in high school those obsessions turned into pages. First messy drafts in notebooks, then actual chapters. I teamed up with Drubo Nath and we started turning our notes into something real: a book that could explain the universe, AI, and emerging tech to teenagers in Bangla, without dumbing it down.
It debuted at the National Book Fair in Bangladesh, one of the largest book fairs in Asia, and then got published in India in November 2023. We have moved 1,000+ hard copies across both countries since. Not bad for something that started as a frustrated kid's side project.
