My future plan is to make Bangladesh more livable for its people. I want to leave something to the world before I die and I believe taking care of the people here can be that something. I cannot focus on working on such a big world at once; that's why I've decided to initially focus on this corner of the planet. The places I have passed by sitting on a bike are in Bangladesh, the kids I grew up with are going to pass their whole lives here and I don't want to pretend they never existed. Some people I really admire are most likely also going to stay here and I want their lives to go by safely so they can keep doing their great work for others. I want to stay with them until the end.

Currently, my focus is on computers and learning how the world is working (stuff like basic economics). The thing that I like about computers is that it's magical. I have picked the AI specialization path because I believe this is close to the solution of big problems of human civilization.

I like thinking about civil architectural design. Because structures are a huge part of our lives; we live inside them, we pass times around them, they are everywhere. And that lets it put significant impact on our psyche. Among many many styles of architecture- the Brutalist style is the most appealing to me. That unapologetic honesty and rawness is what attracted me since the beginning. I think brutalism somehow serves a greater purpose than both form and function in the traditional sense. The use of concrete and geometric shapes creates a sense of strength and permanence that is appealing. It's as if the lack of fixed physical beauty lets your soul wrap itself around the concrete and makes you feel one with the built environment. One great example would be- the national parliament house of Bangladesh, which I love.

Naval architectural design holds a similar place in my heart. I find passenger ships to be pretty fun even tho I've never been on one. A possible reason is that I have always loved fantasizing our house moving around on land, water and top of the clouds like a huge machine; passenger ships are pretty much that. I gradually got obsessed with these colossal machines and the stories that occured in them, stories of people. I started loving listening to Mic Brady talk in Oceanliner Designs and Tom Linsky in Part-Time Explorer.

Some of my favorite ships are - SS Oriana (1959) (because pretty), RMS Aquitania (because damn), HMHS Britannic (POV: if we had a more-perfect Titanic; she is the younger sister of Titanic btw. Got sunk by a mine near Athens during WW2 as a hospital ship), RMS Queen Mary (because she got class), and SS United States (the fastest passenger ship of this size ever built).

Symbols such as flags interest me. Because they are able to unite a broader something into a single point: a country, a company or a single belief. They stir emotions while being simple and that is something to think about.

I used to watch a lot of anime and save my favorite AMVs in 2021. Often days I would have completed one or two seasons. Then I stopped watching in the beginning of 2022 due to my exams. After that I fell off the wagon and haven't watched any properly since. I have read lots of manga tho (which I have stopped doing recently as well). Some of my favorites would be- The Climber, Vinland Saga (I am extremely gateful to Makoto Yukimura, the author, for creating this piece of artwork; made me think about certain human behaviors from a new perspective) and Gantz. I also loved the One Piece anime. Back when I was watching anime regulary, the community aspect of it really served me well. I used to engage in lots of teeny cringe arguments/discussions with the fans online and thus found some of my good friends and our friendship only aged like wine.
