When you've been cruising on a road, there comes a time when it's difficult to say if you've taken turns, for you've been going in one direction for far too long.

I still remember the first time, when in 2015, I was asked to write my first editorial. I've written many since then, yet it makes me jitter like that first day; it's like taking off a veil and talking to the readers. What do I tell you? All that we've ever wanted you to know, we pour it out in these papers. Along with our heart and soul.

And so, it's been an honour. The most rewarding experience of my life, personally and professionally. The One That I Cherish the Most. I could go on. I should go on. But my time has come.

Dear readers, please allow me to tell you that exciting times lie ahead. SHOUT will be graced by the best of the best that Bangladeshi youth has to offer. Change is inevitable, and we're only getting better.

As for SHOUT and I, au revoir.
