I have always found it extremely hard to “briefly” describe anyone because humans consist of so much to put in words or pictures. When it comes to myself, it gets a lot harder  because I have not fully figured myself out yet. In addition, I am constantly changing just like everyone else. Which is why I think the first picture really represents me best. “Change Ahead.” The second is of the flag of my country merged with the LGBTQ flag. It is a dream I have that someday homosexuals will be decriminalized in Bangladesh which they currently are not and it is also my ambition in life to work for that goal. The next picture is of my sister and me and the one below that is of my mother. These two people are the ones I take for granted even though I know I should not so I felt that I should include them here. I realize that I should have probably included my father too but I ran out of space. Some of the pictures are purely humourous and they describe me because I barely ever take anything seriously.  I know sometimes that is not very smart but hey, we are all just stardust after all. Also, Rob Halford ( the bald man in the picture under Gerard Butler) is one of the greatest singers alive and Judas Priest(the band he is from) is one of my favourites. The picture with the giant blue pillow represents a tiny part of the culture I come from. I think body pillows are one of the most unique things that Bengalis are very habituated to. Babies and kit kats are my obsession almost. They sound absolutely absurd when put next to each other in a sentence like that. I guess I could not leave out my creepy nature of this post after all. A Thousand Splendid Suns is a book that really changed my life in so many ways. I finally decided to stop ignoring the way women were treated in certain areas of the world and realized how my idea of romanticizing oppression would someday drive me insane. I used to romanticize the idea of a husband telling the wife what to do and being protective of her but this book made me realize how bad things can turn and how I was simply ignoring that possibility. I suppose I did not want to believe that the future I was headed for, and probably still am, was as bad as they made it sound. The picture of my face in shock usually describes how I feel inside almost every minute because I always describe something new. I know everyone can if only they pay attention to their surroundings just a little more.
