Shah Md Del Azmaish was born on October 15, 1950, in the district of Jamalpur, Bangladesh, and graduated in Civil Engineering from Rajshahi University in 1972. He worked for 12 years in the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) and then for 22 years in the reputed consulting firms in Bangladesh on various projects related to bridge design, pavement design, and transport planning. Apart from designing more than a hundred bridges, he worked as a coordinator and one of the designers of the Rupsha Bridge. He has coauthored design manuals for RHD engineers, one on pavement design and another on bridge design. He developed many computer programs to facilitate his work. PADMA, adapted from a French program, is one of them that gained popularity among pavement designers.
During the last 7 years of his active life, he enjoyed working with Aarvee Ltd, Hyderabad as consultant to National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) in the position of Senior Bridge Design Engineer (SSBD) sequentially in the projects in Nagpur (NH6), Godavari bridge and others in Andhra (NH7), 4.5 km long flyover in Bangalore city (NH4), and 14 km long flyover in Chennai city connecting the Seaport with NH4 at Maduravoyal. While working in Chennai he got attacked by a chronic lung disease formally known as COPD and had to return home in 2013.
His other areas of interest are domestic politics, comparative religion, and elevated road network. Throughout his life, he was not even remotely connected with active politics. The same is true for his family and close relatives. He has been bedridden since 2019. Since 2021, he has been requiring round-the-clock artificial respiration. As a blessing in disguise, it allowed him to think deeply about the realities of the present geopolitics. He is confident about the potential of his ideas. He believes that today or tomorrow people shall have to adopt the same or something similar.
He likes to thank the readers of this article, despite his poor and erratic language and cordially invites their criticism.
