From the diary of ASM Shamsuz Zaman(11N)

After leaving academy Hassan and I, were put on MV Dhaka / Khulna for a while and then were transferred to Banglar Mukti that was stationed at Kolkata for 6 months. Year was 1976/7. We two later worked on board Banglar Bani as acting 3rd and 2nd officers before going for our 2nd mates exam in the UK.
Gradually, we two became soulmates and always kept in touch when in holidays. I would often visit his house at Nawbab Katra, Dhaka and he would visit my place at science lab premises. He and his family migrated to Australia in the end of eighties or beginning of nineties .
My wife and I met him in Sydney in 2016 (?) in his res and had some good time together – he even cooked food for us and we all went out together to different places. ( Those of you who may not know – Hassan grew some mental health problems when he went for his 1st mates exam in Ireland and never did fully recover until his death. He did his master mariners exam in Australia even with his mental illness! )
I tried to meet him during our visit of Australia in 2018 too, but couldn’t trace him over phone.
By the way, those of you have read my book নুনকি একটি তারার নাম, must have noticed the name of Abuja – the central character of the book. He is in fact ( nick named and described the character in a little fiction form ) is this Hassan ( Abu Zaman Quamrul Hassan ) , our batch mate.

আজকাল বইটির অনেক পাঠক আমার সাথে দেখা হলে জানতে চায় – আবুজা কেমন আছে, কোথায় আছে ইত্যাদি ?
আমি উত্তরে বলি ভাল আছে I বেশি কিছু বলিনা কারন আমি চাই ‘আবুজা’ একটি ‘ছোট গল্পের’ চরিত্র হয়ে বেচে থাকুক I

Pls pray for the salvation of of our friends soul. He has left behind a daughter named Nunki ( same name as my own daughter ! ). She has done her PhD or doing it now in Australia.
My heart bleeds at his death.
