The retard philosopher :):

I would like you to welcome to my blog which is called the blog of “Retard Philosopher”. Well, the name appears to be an oxymoron since we usually associate philosophy with great minds with lot of knowledge and wisdom innate in them. However, in my case this is exactly the opposite because I neither have knowledge nor wisdom whatsoever. Nevertheless, I have decided to write about things from my experiences and observations of my life. I never claim that I would be any use of yours or give any solutions about problems rather than that I would just put forth my thoughts on various topics and aspects of life.

I am doing primarily because I love to write despite knowing the fact that I am not a wordsmith and often fail to express my feelings and emotions. Therefore, what you are gonna read is going to be utter nonsense and bullshit (according to me). Yet , yet , yet in the grand scheme of things I just prefer to keep a track on my evolution as a human being and nothing is better than keep it in written form.

So, if you have survived this much of writing, you have my respect as your valuable time and efforts are being wasted till now. Therefore, you deserve to know about me in order to have an understanding of my life and thought processes otherwise the words you are gonna read in future might not make any sort of any sense whatsoever.

Well, I am told by my patrons which are literally 3 or 4 in number that, I am a good writer, remember good not extraordinary which I think is kind of flattering to me because since I have always believed deep in my heart that, my words are mere crap at least when you have great things to read. However, internet has convinced me that even I can write too because nowadays “shit sells more than gold”, isn’t that true? It is. So, what is stopping me from writing and make things more miserable. Jokes apart, whether I am good writer or not that would be decided by my audience not myself because I am here to express myself not to win o nobel prize or Pulitzer. But, I might someday, who knows. At least in my dreams I am already has become something only the problem is whenever I open my eyes I am that shady person living day and day out, dazed and confused what to do actually in this life.

Enough of my philosophies, let’s come down to the main point. I’m just another confused person just like you with millions of dreams and aspirations lurking in my heart. Currently I’m an IELTS instructor based in a country called Bangladesh not by choice but by circumstance as well as a photographer currently working on documenting cultural heritage of my community also I have recently finished two of my photography books called “My Eternal Asylum” and “Hope never Dies”.

I aspire to be a documentary photographer and I will be some day but for time being my life is messed up completely so it couldn’t be a better time to start blogging since legend says, When you are in a mess create more mess so that it can not get any worse for you!

I’m a musician, play instruments in a very amateurish level ,a part time over-thinker and full time procrastinator. Trust me, if you read me enough you will discover that I am quite like you in many aspects.

I have totally forgotten to mention that life has already crushed hard most of my dreams by offering traumas, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and you name it. It took me many years to get my ground back and stand on my feet again. In this short life, I have already encountered love, hate, pain, bliss, success, plenty of failure and what not! So, if I don’t share these stories the world gonna miss out such great stories and being a philosopher its my moral duty not to deprive others from such amazing stories. See, life is absurd and peculiar in its own way for everyone, a film or novel can be easily created out a life just the thing is we don’t have knowledge about them. Indeed, reality is strange than fiction. If you can stick to me, you will be convinced for sure.

I have keen interest on things like art, sports, music, movies, literature, history, politics, crime, human psychology, spirituality and philosophy though I can’t properly spell Nietzsche but who cares! In my forthcoming writings you are gonna be bombarded by many pop culture, political and religious references. I used to have opinions about many things when I was an idiot but now I don’t have , rather I have perceptions on various matter whereas still I am an idiot. Therefore, in this utterly ridiculous and biased world where everyone likes to establish their opinions and points I pretty much prefer to sit back, observe and laugh at all the douches because nothing really matters and you are nothing at all in this grand scheme of universe. This world runs perfectly without your presence and opinions, you know it but don’t want to accept anyway.

So that pretty much sums up my introduction of my blog. I am well aware that I have already lost few potential reasons but who cares! Neither you nor I!

Hopefully we shall meet again and in my next blog I am write about a fancy, modern world sensation term called “Depression”. Till then take care and trust me nothing matters, no one cares.
