About me

Hello there! It's my pleasure that you are here, and welcome to my tiny little world of virtual existence! I am Uthpala Biswas, that's the name my parents endowed me and I use this name for earthly purposes. "Uthpala" is a sanskrit word, meaning lotus. Oh, my nickname is "Tumpa", that's much easier to pronounce and memorize also! But who I am actually? I don't know yet! As I look back at my life through memories or my own writings in diaries, I wonder and think, really! That was me! I find it very difficult to define myself as a summation of ever-changing, fleeting, uncountable moments. Who I am today has been possible because of all the events of my life upto this moment, but as this very moment commences, I am not the person anymore I was just a moment back. 10 years back, I did not even imagine the self I am today, but here I am! And I dont know what I will become 10 years from now. I find it very difficult and confusing to define me, describe me. But for practical purposes, let me try to describe some attributes of mine. I was born in Bangladesh, on 22nd July, 1989. After completing my secondary and higher secondary examination, I got chance to study in one of medical colleges of our country in 2007. After completing my MBBS in 2013, I did two private jobs, as medical officer in a private hospital and as lecturer of community medicine in a private medical college Hospital till July 2016. Then after 2 years in 2018, I got chance to study MD residency in Pathology and also was qualified the BCS examination and in 2019 was appointed as a government medical officer. Now I work in a district level hospital as a medical officer. I dont know how much these information will be helpful to know me as a person, as a human being! There are hundreds of thousands other persons having same qualifications! So far the things I have discovered about myself that have been more or less constant over the years may be a better parameter to describe me authentically.

Though my preference of topics or taste has changed time to time, from fairy tales of early childhood to the hard rock enigma of existential crisis of mid 30s now, the only thing I distaste is memorizing without understanding. That was a big reason of my struggle with our education system. But somehow, with luck, I slipped through the sieves of this system and till now survived. I always dreamed of a school where there will be no traditional exams, where learning will be truly joyful, where tiny tittle human beings will learn to be a good human being, full of compassion and self awareness, have the opportunity to build expertise of knowledge and practical skills to survive better in this world and be learn to be happy. I consider myself a lifetime learner.I love to learn new things and I will try to remain the same till my last breath. And if possible, I will try contribute to make learning joyful and meaningful for next generation.

That was a lot. May be now you have a little glimpse of me. I always wanted to write, from my very childhood, to share my knowledge, my experiences, my feelings. I requested my younger brother, Ashutosh Biswas, who is leaening web development by himself, to create a blog for me where I will be able to keep and organize my writings. And he made one! It was one of the nicest gifts I have recieved in my life! I will be sharing my thoughts and feelings through writing or paintings or short video recordings from time to time in this blog. This act of writing is a kind of catharsis to me. Writing down my own thoughts clarifies my thoughts and updates my thinking process and also helps to face and resolve difficult emotions. If you find my writing worthy of reading, and makes your life a little bit better, it will make my effort much more meaningful. Thank you for stopping by and giving your valuable time reading such a long bio! If you are interested in any discussion regarding any of my writing, please email me, at uthpalabiswas@yahoo.com.
