A thread on my academic career, knowledge and how I am really a 14 yr old!!

......

So, first off. Lots of people online and real life don’t seem to believe that I am 14. Presumably because I “know so much” and talk about things which are probably outside the realms of a 14 yr old to talk about.

When someone finally seems to believe it, whether by trust, me showing my birth certificate or me actually meeting up with someone. They seem to ask weird Qs, such as:-
“Has RAW trained you to infiltrate in Bangladesh?”
“What special recipe does your mother feed you?”

Trust me, I haven’t been into contact with any intelligence agencies anywhere. Neither am I consuming something out of the ordinary. Actually, I am 12 kg underweight if compared to my height! I have however, talked to some ex- intelligence officers. You can count that ig.

So, back to myself. Me as a toddler was pretty ordinary. Learned to talk and walk at age 2 so nothing special there. I however, was very good with numbers and even words. I learned BIDMAS/ BODMAS entirely by around 4 yrs old. My parents also recall that I had an incredibly....

Large vocabulary in both Bangla and English by 4/5 yrs old. I also had and continue to have a pretty good memory. Not photogenic, but somewhere close to that perhaps.

Anyway, now, onto the contribution of my parents to set up the basic structure for me.

My parents, since as long as I remember, have always been serious about me, particularly about education. They have made it very clear to me that I will need to be incredibly educated and ultimately, world-famous. Expections were always sky high for me.

Now, I know this may be unhealthy to hear for some people, and I hear you. However, my parents were far from being a “tiger parent.” They have always provided me with toys, smartphones, laptops you name it! However, with that they have provided me with books, newspapers etc.

They just always wanted the best for me. I remember when I was 4, my father brought home books about zoology, capitals and currencies around the world, Diaries etc. I was incredibly into them, and I would like read and memorize the entire book in 2/3 days!

Not only by books did they help me, but also through “giving the fuel to increase my hunger of becoming successful.” I remember from 2009, my father took me to his office, took me to his meetings with fellow businessmen and politicians. I would just gaze at their offices....

And hear them talking, taking it in like a sponge. I even would get into conversations about many things with my father’s friends. I already had a base prior knowledge about different things so I could engage with them, sort of cause they wouldn’t take everything seriously...

So anyway, a few yrs went by like that and slowly, I started to store great amounts of knowledge about various things, while also excelling in my academics a lot. I would always study content way ahead of my school class and continue to do that today.

The year 2013 was a “breakthrough” year for me. That yr was the Razakar protests demanding justice against the war criminals of the Bangladeshi Liberation war of 1971. Also, Jamaat and “hefazat ul Islam” took counter- reactionary protests too, demanding the immediate release...

Of the criminals. Anyway, one of those days, my father took me and my mom to the heart of the Anti- razakar protests in Shahbagh, Dhaka. I always kind of wanted to go with my dad everywhere so he really didn’t have a choice. ( Mind you, they never liked introducing me...

To politics, diplomacy and continues to protest it till date)...
Anyway, back to the protests...
So, I actually tresspassed all the way to the stage and sat with the group of guys who were the lead figures of the protests. My parents were really annoyed with it, demanding that...

I come back to them...
However, the guys actually welcomed me and I led the protests for like 5 mins, shouting slogans at the top of my voice against the Razakars. I felt like deep inside, my parents were sort of proud, although we had a big argument next morning.

That day led the foundation of me starting to discover global politics, policies, all the good stuff. I remember asking that about the political parties of Bangladesh, their ideologies and started to ask lots of questions.

One thing led to another and by 2014, I started to read @ProthomAlo, @dailystarnews every morning before school. I grew an incredible passion of garnering knowledge about many different fields, which my parents appreciated, except for ofc politics, fearing that I may have the...

The faith of Julian Assange later in my life. (Probably)

So yeah, then I moved to London and lived there for 4 yrs ofc. I also got to visit a lot of countries and learn interesting things about all cultures, religions and people of those countries. My parents took me...

To museums, world famous universities to get inspired and learn from the resources and people there. I must say, they have groomed me into this incredibly well. Unfortunately, it seems I am interested in global politics the most, certainly not something that they wanted.

So yeah, from 2014 onwards was the period where I accelerated my hunt for knowledge the most. For anyone interested in how that’s possible, just start loving your interest. Love it like your life depends on it! Have a strong passion about your life and go set wild targets!

It is to be noted that I have had many privileges in my life. Notably, financial security and very caring, nurturing parents. I recognize that not everybody will have privileges like that but we all gotta start somewhere!

To learn more about teenagers like me, I would suggest everyone to watch a documentary based on the journey of the US team in the International Maths Olympiad. The title is written down below:-

“Hard problems. The road to the world’s toughest math contest”

Search it up on YT.

I would request every follower or person interested of me in twitter to have a read of this thread. I would request all to please be patient as it’s quite a long thread. I hope the content is worth your time!
