Four Years Later: Becoming Through Blue Tiger

 There’s something strange about reaching a moment you’ve imagined for years. For me, that moment is now. After four years of writing, rewriting, pausing, doubting, and starting again, I’ve officially completed the full draft of Blue Tiger vs Red Tiger . The third book in the Blue Tiger series is no longer just an idea. It’s real. It exists. And right now, I’m deep in the editing phase, shaping it into the final version. But this isn’t just about finishing a book. This is about the journey it took to get here. The Start of Something Bigger When I first created Blue Tiger, it wasn’t meant to become what it is today. It started as a concept, something creative I wanted to explore. But over time, it grew into a full world. Now, Blue Tiger vs Red Tiger marks my 7th book within a larger superhero universe I’ve been building. A universe inspired by the interconnected storytelling of Marvel Universe and DC Universe , and the emotional depth of Invincible . I didn’t just want to...

Blog 10: Back to Writing: Growth, Leadership, and Building the Blue Tiger

  It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these monthly reflections. Not because I stopped growing — but because I was busy doing the growing. The past few months have been a balancing act between leadership, education, and creativity. And in many ways, it’s been one of the most productive seasons I’ve had. Leadership in Action – BSA UTM Working with  BSA UTM , especially on sponsorship outreach and event planning, has been one of the most practical learning experiences for me. Reaching out to businesses, pitching value, negotiating partnerships — it’s different when you’re no longer just studying marketing concepts, but actually applying them in real conversations. There were: Emails that went unanswered Proposals that didn’t land Follow-ups that felt like long shots But there were also successful conversations, supportive sponsors, and events that came together because of consistent effort. Leadership isn’t glamorous behind the scenes — it’s follow-ups, spreadsheets, and...

Food Blog: Sultan Ahmet Turkish Cuisine – A Taste of Istanbul in Mississauga

 If you’ve ever driven past Ridgeway Plaza on a weekend night, you already know — it’s packed. Lights everywhere, families walking around, the smell of grilled meat in the air. One of the spots that always stands out is Sultan Ahmet Turkish Cuisine . I finally decided to try it properly and see if it lives up to the hype. First Impressions The restaurant feels lively the moment you walk in. It’s not quiet or minimalist — it’s energetic, warm, and full of conversation. It gives that traditional Turkish family dinner vibe. It’s definitely a place you come with people, not somewhere you go for a silent date night. The Food Let’s talk about what matters. Mixed Grill Platter This was the highlight. The meats were juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked properly. The chicken wasn’t dry (which is rare), and the lamb had that authentic charcoal flavour. Kebabs Strong flavour, generous portions, and served with rice and fresh salad. Nothing felt rushed or cheap. Bread & Dips Fre...

Blog 9: Starting Something New

  Spotify                     Youtube Channel I’ve rewritten this post more times than I’d like to admit. Not because I didn’t know what to say, but because starting something publicly always feels a little uncomfortable. Still, here it is. I’m beginning my journey as a music artist. Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, just never in a way I shared openly. It existed in late nights with headphones on, walking through quiet streets, sitting on buses staring out the window, or lying awake when my thoughts refused to slow down. It was something personal, something I turned to when words didn’t quite work. For a long time, I told myself I wasn’t ready. That I needed more time, more confidence, more proof that it was worth putting out there. But eventually, I realized that waiting for the “right moment” was really just another way of holding myself back. So I decided to start. My music blends Bangla and English ...

Blog 8: A Week in Between: Small Wins, Big Uncertainty

 A Week in Between: Small Wins, Big Uncertainty Author: Aymaan Chowdhury | Date: Jan 14, 2026 This week felt like one of those in-between weeks. Not bad. Not great. Just… real. The kind of week where life keeps moving, even when you don’t fully know what’s coming next. Small moments that kept me grounded I played pool this week. Nothing serious. No competition. Just a few games, a few laughs, the sound of balls clacking together and the brief relief of focusing on something simple. For a moment, the world shrank down to angles, shots, and instinct — and that felt nice. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you need small distractions until they remind you that you’re still allowed to enjoy things. Work has been good — and that’s what makes it harder I’ve also been enjoying work lately. There’s something bittersweet about that, because I know it’s ending soon. In two weeks, my job wraps up. I’ve learned a lot there — about people, responsibility, communication, and showing up even on...

When Politics Start Affecting the Game I Grew Up Loving

When Politics Start Affecting the Game I Grew Up Loving  By: Aymaan Chowdhury Date: Jan 7, 2026 I’ve grown up with cricket. Not just watching it casually, but genuinely caring about it. Planning days around matches, feeling wins deeply, and carrying losses longer than I probably should. For many of us in South Asia, cricket isn’t just a sport—it’s part of who we are. That’s why the current situation between Bangladesh and India, especially with the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup approaching, feels so frustrating and disheartening. Instead of talking about squads, form, and matchups, we’re once again talking about politics. Hearing that Bangladesh was rejected from playing outside of India due to political tensions didn’t surprise me—but it did disappoint me. Deeply. Because once politics enters cricket, fairness is usually the first thing to take a hit. Cricket has always been one of the few spaces where countries with complicated histories could still meet on neutral ground. Rivalries ...
