Fintech 2.0 for Bangladesh
The next fintech revolution is probably not going to come from any MFS company. Rather, there is a big chance that it will come from a ATM Aggregation company that helps move money in a cheap way. Ideally one that has a recycler for ATM’s, and is also able to accept worn out cash.

What interests me?
When I was 14 or so, I had this inherent belief that I should be allowed to take part in adult activities. I had a major urge to vote. I had a political perspective. As I age, I have grown a very different thought process. Democracy doesn’t really excite me anymore. Neither do I have…

Unpopular Opinion
You know what’s more dangerous than extrajudicial killings? Romanticizing of the concept of vigilante justice.

Why do I judge smokers?
Ask yourself, if you knew someone who didn’t even have the very little amount of self control in order to not do something that they themselves know is going to harm them, then are they really dependable people? Let’s say the whole smoking walabaloo is a cliff. Someone who drives off a cliff with the…

Do you need a gorgeous female front desk executive?
Job adverts for front desk executives are the most repressive, discriminatory, and illogical in the country. No, you don’t need a beautiful girl to be the “face of your company”. People in this position just need to be helpful and organized. Anybody beyond their teenage years can pull this off with proper guidance. এবং ফ্রন্ট…

What is the peculiar thing at any Bangladeshi University?
University Clubs handing out business cards is the most cringe-worthy affair that an undergraduate student can be a part of. Peculiar? Atleast to me (ง •̀_•́)ง

The thing about national pride
Somehow, I have come to believe over the years that the concept of national pride in Bangladesh is extremely skewed. Its a case of Woo Suk Hwang being proud of fabricating his stem cell research case and saying that at-least he had the idea to fabricate it! You see, I have an idea that pride should…

My bucket list?
I honestly don’t think I have a list of things that I would rather do before I die. But, I think it would be nice if life had a little stability.

Kill it before it lays eggs!
University Clubs handing out business cards is the most cringe-worthy affair that an undergraduate student can be a part of. Somebody better exterminates this trend before it lays eggs.

How evil is evil?
Are you evil when people tell you that you are evil, or evil when you yourself think you are evil?

monotale: What level of abstract-ism is computationally impossible to achieve?
Is it possible to design a non-deterministic non-probabilistic infinite automaton? Provided the Quantum Architecture – would this become a possibility in the future?

Monotale: The half-pant confusion
I think I will never completely understand fully-grown men who wear half-pants to informal events. I mean, I understand that it is supposed to be informal – and nothing that I am dressing up like Tony Stark – but aren’t you guys a little too old to be wearing that?

Monotale: Facebook Check-In, really?
People who check-in on facebook basically remind me of Ananta Jalil from 2014. He has moved on. So should you.

Monotale: Have some free time?
In your free time, read this book called The Five Temptations of a CEO by Patrick Lencioni. Well, not really the whole book. Rather, just read the conversation between Andrew and Charlie on the train.

Monotale: The lowPoly Problem
If you don’t have a low-poly vector of your face as a profile picture, are you even a content creator at Some Generic Digital Marketing Agency With Unpaid Interns Doing All The Work?

Monotale: Regarding the aboutUs text on any website
Here is how I judge a B2B company – if they mention their vision, mission, and goals on their “about us” section – they basically don’t know shit.

Monotale: “Papa is my Eccentricity Capitalist”
The contemporary millennialist would have you believe that a perfect life is one with nothing but travelling and coffee – sharing memes like “Chai is life”, and “The Cure to Everything is Travelling” – while their parents work 12 hours a day and fund their whims.

monoTale: The Infer Problem
If you have heard of Infer, you will know that one major advantage it has is its ability to do interprocedural/interfile analysis at scale. But there is an issue – extensibility. Adding a checker for a new type of bug into Infer was a complex task that required a lot of deep static analysis expertise…

Monotale: The NoSQL Naming Problem
If you were trying to hit on a pretty girl, and you tell her that she is “NoPretty”, would she think that you mean “Not only Pretty”? If not, why is NoSQL even a thing?

Monotale: The Boring Heroes
While the whole world looks up towards Elon Musk’s imaginations – I find greater hope in the works of Ratan Tata. Maybe less disruptive. Maybe not at all imaginative. But that man does more for India than their whole government, sub government, semi government, and ridiculous-region-rulers-with-incredible-public-support-put-together.

Monotale: Impracticality at 15
Let me assure you, at the age of 15, you wanted to be something that you believe is impractical today. I wanted to be a writer.
