Zeeshan Mahmud

Zeeshan Mahmud's life long dream, really, was to be a troll. However, falling in the vat he decided to torture us with his books. And thus borne Bizarre Publication - a purveyor and reservoir of outré books - everything starting from bats to Kirlian photography, how to say lobster in 108 languages to coat of arms, from the Combs of the World to a book of stalemate to a book exclusively dealt towards fear of clowns.

And oh...he can recite pi to 100 digits, solve the Rubik's cube under 5 minutes, knows the presidents by heart, recite lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­hypo­trimmato­silphio­karabo­melito­katakechy­meno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­opte­kephallio­kigklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygon in one breath, memorize a random credit card under 30 seconds, has a 1800 rating on Lichess correspondent, and somehow managed to get his name on Wisden.

His native tongue is Bangla, but knows smattering of French and broken Spanish so as not to die as well as decipher Hindi and Urdu and Italian if it really mattered in the jungle. Also read the Holy Koran in Arabic as young and took Latin classes in Pretoria Boys High School - yup the same one where Elon Musk hails from. He loves making Shorts, contributes to iNaturalist, and has art for sale on Saatchi Art.

Since little knowledge is dangerous, he is extremely lethal in filipino martial arts, muay thai, aikido, kravmaga and 1-month course of Fencing with kids at Fullerton along with brief yoga and tai chi excursions at the park. He loves trivia, general knowledge, creativity, peak performance and accelerated learning along with electronic music and wrote blogs on cricket at ESPNCricinfo, listened to every Alan Watts lecture, and is an amateur bird watcher. He has traveled to over 25 countries when not getting a canned email response from the President of the United States, Biden, himself!
