Hi
My name is Zamran, I was born in Lahore in 1993. I spent most of my youth in Karachi, and only moved to Lahore back in the 3rd grade. Currently in my life, Bangkok has become sort of a second home for me, due to my father’s work. My dad heads the Southeast Asian division of his firm, so the best way to spend time with him is to go to him. I have 2 sisters – one older, one younger, both of which I credit my odd childhood to.
I have many hobbies; from spending time with friends, playing football, basketball, reading a good book, reading a bad book, reading comics, watching anime, and massive amounts of other hobbies. I think a good reason I have many hobbies is because I’m very open minded, and I have diverse interests.
One of my all time favorite stories is One Day by David Nicholls, easily one of my favorite books from my recent reading. The book has great pace, loveable characters, but perhaps its most attractive feature is Nicholls trademark humor,  and perfect balance of sadness and joy,. This is probably one book I can recommend to anyone.
One guilty pleasure I’ve dealt with a lot is my addiction to Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing games, or MMORPGs for short. In which the entire game aspect boils down to dull repetitive actions, and micro-management. I got hooked when I was 12, and only properly quit recently. I still occasionally play a random MMORPG when I get bored.
What I think people will be surprised at about me is that my entire set of life goals is based on tiny obsessions I pick up randomly. For example the 6 weeks leading up to last year’s final exams I spent learning Linux kernel coding just because there were certain aspects of a program I wanted to change, I ended up making a whole different custom program which I deleted during the summer, because I could. Or 6 months ago where I started making random wallpapers for deviant art using Photoshop C4, I ended up making 23 wallpapers and lost the account password, and have never gone back to it.

Year in Review

Image
1. Great Expectations was my favourite work this year, simply because it was the most relatable of the works, and in a sense it was a “complete” journey/work. Great Expectation boils down to a story of a boy who goes to any length to be with his love, it as a story that is relatable to anyone. Anyone, and Everyone 2. My least favourite work this year is a three-way tie between “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”,  ”The  Awakening”, and like water for chocolate. The reason is very simple, I am not a girl, I don’t think it’s my fault as a reader, because I tried really hard to relate to each work, but after the point where I thought about how It would be to not be with the man I loved, I stopped. There are no famous Dairies for Men, there is however the Pulitzer prize winners.... 3. I have read a lot of works this year, and the biggest lesson I learned from each of them (including my least favourites) is that to truly understand a work you most rid yourself from pre-conce

Great Presentations

Image
Recently my AP Literature class had presentations where the students had to teach about certain chapter of the book. Basically everyone had to endure five presentations each thirty minutes long about stuff that people already were supposed to know. So by the time my presentation came up everyone had seen every possible way to be creative with information that everyone already memorized through our annotations of the book. Great Idea, Small kinks                 In our own presentation my associate and I tried to challenge the class, and force them to think, DRIIIIIIINK!!!!!!!! Totally applies to my situation   We planned to achieve this by asking questions that you could answer if you read the chapter, instead of just listening to the chapter summary, this made the audience work beyond just parroting the last few words we said. The challenge was well received as it caused our five person audience to pause and actually think hard about the chapters we were expla
