of a career in the life of an artiste does not come easily but it came into my life. I joined ‘Feedback’

I have known Dr Ashis for more than three decades. I expressed to him the desire of such
an arrangement with my singing career. Ashis is a music lover and music crazy doctor. As soon as I told him this proposal, Dr Ashis and his Universal Medical College took charge of this concert with me. I am very confident that this arrangement around the music of my journey will
be completed with great success.”

a musician. We want to illuminate the colourful life of this talented artiste – Maqsoodul Haque. Although Universal Mediasil College is a private institution, it is exceptional because of its social and cultural responsibility and respect for the artiste. Basically this exceptional event has taken its initiative out of love. Besides, we will give honor to Maksoodul Haque through this event.”
