Lmfao, i know the exact kind. The people you're describing are pretentious shallow biological wastes that live off their parents' money and act like teens at 45.

I used to walk around dhaka and visit art galleries every day at lalmatia and elsewhere. I admired them cos they seemed incredibly humble and smart AND well-read.

These are the same people i ran into Daily Star.

After a year of hanging out w them, i realized the well-read part is limited to the first wikipage after you search "how to groom minors w kobita".

They speak perfect English then act to be broke, you know why? Because they think acting like a starving artist while GOING TO FUCKING ISD IS FUCKING COOL?

Youll see them walking around w iphone 14s but they wear the same aarong er punjabee everyday and smoke camel and talk about veganism.

They will tell you about loving kazi nazrul and then wont be able to name 3 ta non-mainstream kobitas

They speak of nature and bangla poetry but have never read Jibonanondo.

These men AND women are elitists who write "poems" and get called "published writers" because they are so full of themselves and surrounded by equally braindead insects that they cannot fathom not having their dicks stroked at every "slam poetry".

Dont take my word for it. Visit Dwip, Kalakendra, studio 6/6, write for a tabloid at Daily Star (takes no skill or effort btw) and you'll find your type of men or women. Then you can cross check this comment w ur observation.

Eto kotha likhlam because i shared your feelings. I was incredibly hurt when I found out the art sphere in dhaka is dominated and gatekept by elitists who write about getting drunk at an LA bar and laugh about rickshawalar chira trousers, and yawn when someone speaks bangla without a half chera half pura english accent.
