Hi everyone! My name is Abdullah Al Asek, and I’m the sole writer of this blog. It’s a true passion of mine.
When I was very young, I was naturally quiet. I was somewhat introverted and tended to avoid interactions with people until my higher secondary years. I can still remember that I barely had any friends back then. But it's definitely not their fault! My way of expressing myself was just different. I used to write a lot—everything from stories to thoughts, all in my notebooks. Perhaps that ability still lingers in me.
As I started my higher secondary, I was too shy to use my real name on social media or blogs. For quite some time, I wrote completely anonymously. I just wanted to share my stories, without attaching my name to them. But things started to change after I began my undergraduate studies. I received a lot of appreciation and inspiration from certain people, which encouraged me to take a bold step: I decided to start writing under my real name.
At that point, most of my writing focused on animals, as I was studying zoology. But over time, I gathered the courage and thought, “Why not write openly about how I feel, with full authenticity?”
This led to the birth of this blog—part of my ongoing storytelling journey. I probably would have been a storyteller if I’d lived a few centuries ago. Perhaps I’d have shared my stories under a banyan tree. But here, I’m doing the same thing: sharing my stories, how I feel, and the way I live my life. I hope you enjoy it!
Important notice! With the growing traffic on my blog, I’ve decided to write my content in both English and Bengali. Previously, I wrote only in Bengali and relied on Google Translate for foreign readers. However, I’ve recently noticed that automatic translations often make my content hard to understand, and sometimes even distort its meaning. So, I’ve decided to supervise the translation of my posts instead.
That’s why I’m launching two blog sites: enblog.asek.info for international visitors and bnblog.asek.info for visitors from Bangladesh. Both sites will be integrated. If you're not from Bangladesh and visit my previous blog, blog.asek.info, it will automatically redirect you to enblog.asek.info. If you're from Bangladesh, it will direct you to bnblog.asek.info. If you visit bnblog.asek.info from outside Bangladesh, the site will ask if you’d like to continue reading in Bengali. If you choose “yes,” you’ll remain on the current site; otherwise, you’ll be redirected to the English version of the blog on enblog.asek.info. The same will happen when you visit enblog.asek.info from Bangladesh.
I haven’t finished translating all my Bengali blog posts yet—it’ll take some time, but I’ll do my best to complete it soon.
So, happy reading!
