It apparently means that I will have to post a photo of mine, and write 16 things about me. Wonder, why 16 things? That sounds a bit too much to me. But I will bite :)
1. I am male (in case you are still not sure by looking at the picture ;)
2. and single.
3. Born in Cox'sbazar, Bangladesh, I grew up mostly in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
4. I am a doctor by profession, graduated from Bangladesh.
5. I left Bangladesh in 1995 for USA and did higher training in Internal Medicine there.
6. I currently live in Thames, New Zealand. It is a beautiful little town with lovely beaches and lovely people. I have been working at Thames Hospital since 1999. I work as an emergency doctor.
7. I am pretty easy going with a smile on my face most of the time. Most of my patients like me for that, although one patient in my long career didn't like it. She asked me, 'What's so amusing?'
I believe I have a good sense of humor... wink wink :)
(Are you still awake?)
8. For me, photography is a hobby and a medium of expression. I try to learn and do better all the time, but I don't sweat for it. I am not sure what I want to do with this passion of mine in future, but I am not worried about it.
9. I am a cameraholic, but I don't use all of them regularly. Almost 50% of my cameras and other gears have been gifted away.
10. I love tea and coffee. I don't like coke-pepsi kind of beverages that much.
11. Simple Bangladesh style food is my most favorite, but I eat and enjoy everything (except pork). I have tried Ostrich, Kangaroo and Crocodile; loved Crocodile most. Snake is my next target.... I heard its yummy :).
12. I love traveling; I usually take two holidays every year. I like sports. Soccer is my most favorite.
13. I love to read, listen to music, watch movies and spend time with friends.
14. I try to make others happy, and if I can’t do that I try not to hurt or harm anyone.
This keeps me happy.
(If you are still with me, then something about my belief/dream)
15. I believe that all people on earth should live as one nation; the concept of countries and borders and patriotism etc. is old. But we are not matured or developed enough yet to make this happen. So, we will have to wait.
16. I believe that as human beings our actions/choices are mostly predetermined. Our actions are almost exclusively controlled by our gene (which controls our thought process, analytic capabilities etc) and circumstances. Each particular circumstance is a culmination of a complex series of preceding events (all going back thousands of years) on which we don’t/didn't have any control, and as such was unchangeable. What appears to be the ‘choices’ we make, is in fact the only 'choice' we would have 'made' in any given situation.
Free will is a necessary illusion.
