Popular anchor and journalist, Mohammed Jahangir presented the keynote paper. In his paper, he said, "This book perhaps is an efficient repository of history, sensibility, creativity and knowledge of glorious past of the BTV for the current TV and radio artistes. Sayeed created some talents who are extremely popular media personalities such as Hanif Sanket, Jewel Aich and many others.

"The book Amar Uposthapok Jibon provides us a fascinating window to the past, into the minds of our predecessors and towards the possibilities of the future. It has tremendous humane qualities, very essential for creating leaders. Abdullah Abu Sayeed made an enormous contribution, sacrificing his passion for teaching, writing and hosting his well-loved educational TV programmes. He established the BSK in Dhaka in 1978. He has truly dedicated his life to create a medium through which true freedom is attained --the freedom of the human spirit."

Popular media personality Asad-Uz-Zaman Noor (MP) said,

"The book is the reflection of Sayeed's dream of seeing his country emerge as a vital, progressive nation through the creation of a generation, individuals with talent, vision, and commitment."

Sayeed captivated the audience with his stimulating ideas and humorous anecdotes. Sayeed said, "Education, the backbone of a nation, is now in shambles. Nowadays the core purpose of education to enlighten a person is being overlooked. Good books are a logical source of enlightenment. I believe that better knowledge of world history and the eagerness to emulate great personalities, struggle for great causes would enable people to become better persons. Thus I want to create a hunger for the pleasure of the search for knowledge. Then inner talents will be ignited and create a great spark. Here's to the kindling of that spark, which shall light the path of individuals and nations out of the shadows of ignorance".

Noted artist Mostafa Monwar, the chief guest of the event said, "This book is a snapshot of Sayeed's dreams to enrich the current generation. Only a nation of avid readers can hope to gain the enlightenment and commitment that builds a nation."

Eminent media personalities Faridur Reza Shagor, Atiqul Huq Choudhury, noted singer Syed Abdul Hadi and theatre personality Al Mansur also participated in the discussion. They jointly discussed the role of dreamers and visionaries in the advancement of a nation.

Noted poet Asad Chowdhury was the host of the event.
