Influence Of Dad In My Life

We are three brothers and two sisters, all are settled in life. In 1989, 7th July, our father died and we lost our mother on 10th March, 2002  

I joined the family business of shipping as a apprentice in 1978 and used to follow the advices from my dad. In in 1982, for the first time, I alone received a bulk vessel on berth at Mongla port as an agent loaded with import cargo and things went perfect. My dad appreciated my work, cause he was sick and unable to move anywhere so I took the responsibility to attend the agency vessel. With my earned experience, in 1985 I applied my own shipping agency license and had to go for written and viva exam and successfully passed all the barricades to obtain the license, where I found that people who are older than me and handled more vessels than me, could not pass the written exam.

Due ill health of my dad, things slowly started to go wrong and business was turning its nose down. Also in 1980, we pioneered ourselves, through exporting human hair waste as non traditional item. Also in 1985, we exported live leech to Dr. R.T. Sawyer of Swansea University, U.K. for research purpose for making anti-blood clotting medicine. He was successful in his research work and world got the only available anti-blood clotting medicine.

Whatever good things I adopted in my life is from my beloved DAD
