Man is the best creation of God and individuality adorns man with notable traits and glory. Tireless attempts in the pursuit of gaining knowledge and truth, efforts to earn livelihood by honest means, selfless and no fascinated attitude, indomitable will for full flourishing of the inherent rationality and good qualities, above all, as the best creation of God, to dedicate oneself for the well-being of others glorifies one's life with the bouquet of success. But as a social being nobody is free from biological needs, emotion, anger, personal gain, greed, aspiration eagerness etc. With the best hope of enjoying the life to the extent and existing in the world by generation man sets up family life . Moreover, human demands are endless in this conflicted and anarchic world. Worldly, indulgent people are always driven by new demands & aspirations. Being inspired by ill motives and destitute of judicious conscience man desperately runs after wealth by fair and foul means and at a certain stage becomes an irrational being without humanity These irrational people destroy the world and civilization with utmost ferocity and consequently transfigure the world into an erosive graveyard. In the 21st. century's heyday of modern science and technology, they have terrorised the whole world instead of implementing a safe haven for the generations to come. It is true that environment, neighborhood and a person's geographical location have an influence over human life. Religion, Jauntily values and lessons of infancy also help man lead an ideal and honest life. Sayeed-Ur--Rabb, deeply oriented with family and society embodies all the above traits and characteristics. His outlooks, emotion, will, vision , mentality differ from many others. Neither he observes the society and the world like others nor misses his goals being afraid of others.
Though Sayeed-Ur-Rabb has been living an expatriated life, his heart is filled with patriotism. Consequently, the wellness and woes of his homeland moves him deeply. His heart also overflows with untold sympathy for the distressed humanity of the world. Although he has no ability to prevent the anarchism and injustices that now prevails in the society, he is expressing untold hatred against tyrants and injustice through powerful writing . To write against the injustice and misdeeds of so-called benevolent leaders he had to face many obstacles yet none can stop his protesting voice against injustice.
As a social critic and activist , Sayeed-Ur-Rabb observes world affairs with keen interest and presents entire events to the reader pretense. There no any instance in his life that, as a prolific writer, Mr Rabb has ever compromised with injustice or ill-powers.
Mr: Rabb is not a politician. But his political and social columns reveal that he is well versed in politics. Because of the callousness of political leaders, their unpatriotic activities and selfish attitudes to become rich overnight, leading majority people of the country, anguish him much. He is deeply moved and saddened with grief at the cries of the helpless people for justice, and death of innocent people of vulnerable worlds including Iraq, Afganistan, Palestine, Israel, Asia, Europe and Africa. Though he has no ability to prevent the tyrants, his continuous writings against them deserves praise.
He has skillfully depicted many' major events of social erosion around world. His articles are well-written and meaningful. In the context of objectivity & reality, the book, bearing the wisdom of the writer, is completely reliable, highly enjoyable and pleasant to read. Finally, I am confident that the book Atanator (Crisis) will touch the reader's heart to a great extent and create appeal.
Sayeed-ur-Rabb was born in the village of Amtail, Kulaura, Moulovibazar District, Bangladesh. He is the author of numerous books including "Unfair is Fair" which was best selling one. He attended Dhaka University and New York University. Rabb's glorious career was not only limited as scholar student but he becomes a renowned Athlete in Dhaka University, Bangladesh. For his outstanding contribution to Bangladesh National Sports, Dhaka University awarded him with its highest sports award "Dhaka University Blue".

In course of time he became one of the well known journalist and one of the best sportsmen in the country, for which he got a large number of National and International medals. He represented Bangladesh to international sports arena many times.
Currently he is working as President COO in The Thikana Newspaper, USA, the most widely circulated newspaper in North America. He is also holding the position of the President and Editor-in-Chief of American News Agency (ANA). Rabb takes profound interest in photography, interviewing personalities, collecting celebrities' autographs, arts and memorabilia and visiting historic places and travelling around the world.
