My dear planetary friends,
Today I bring you an inspiring conversation with a great friend who has amazed me with his achievements at just 20 years old. Let me introduce Parvej Husen Talukder, poet, writer, entrepreneur, and aspiring computer engineer. He was born on August 23, 2005, in Derai Upazila, Bangladesh. His father is a village doctor and his mother is a homemaker; he is the eldest of five siblings.

Parvej is a true Asian genius in computing. In the tech industry, his projects stand out: founder and former CEO of Kavya Kishor International (KKI), a platform created to promote youth poetry and writing in Bengali, which now features guest authors from various countries. He is co-founder of WikiGenius and founder of Bhikitia. Since early 2026, he has been a member of the Poetas del Mundo Movement, founded by Chilean poet Luis Arias Manzo, who serves as its founder and secretary general.
In this conversation, Talukder details the objectives of these remarkable initiatives he has developed in recent years. He also speaks about the recognition he has received at the national level in both his poetic work and his entrepreneurial efforts in the digital sphere. It is admirable how Parvej contributes to his country, his language, and the international community through his digital platforms, built with passion and full dedication. Unfortunately, many young people waste their time without investing in the knowledge that is just a click away—this global and universal knowledge present on the screen. He is a role model in these technological times; I extend my sincerest congratulations to this young poet and entrepreneur.
I hope you enjoy this journey through the interview, in which we explore his literary path, his digital projects, his vision of the rapid advancement of AI, and other topics he is passionate about. I invite you to learn more about this young man who, with limited financial resources, achieves successes that many do not accomplish even with privileged opportunities. May his story inspire many to make the most of the technological tools at their disposal.
Congratulations, my poet friend! May your fantastic initiatives reach more and more people who share your vision of this global era.

How do you perceive today’s world without the Internet?
It is very difficult to imagine today’s world without the Internet. The Internet plays a very important role in education, communication, business, medical services, and government services. Without the Internet, people would not be able to access information quickly, and communication would be much slower. Students would not be able to study online, and research work would be more difficult.
Today, many jobs such as e-commerce, freelancing, and digital banking depend on the Internet. Without it, economic activities would be limited and many job opportunities would be lost. International communication and global business would also be affected.
On the other hand, without the Internet, people might spend more time in direct social interaction and rely less on technology. However, in today’s modern world, the Internet is an essential part of life that helps accelerate development and makes daily life easier.
Who inspired you to venture into the digital world?
I have always been a creative and innovative person. At the beginning of my career as a writer, I faced many unexpected problems when publishing my work. From that experience, I learned and in 2020 I launched Kavya Kishor Online Magazine to help new writers publish their work easily. It is the first publication of Kavya Kishor International.
I have a strong desire to learn. At that time, I was still a school student. I saved my pocket money and bought a domain and hosting. Later, I used my mother’s phone to learn WordPress and built the website myself. The website is still active: kavyakishor.com. The project received a positive response both nationally and internationally, which motivated me to continue working in the digital world and create new things.
You recently received the title “Rhyming King of the Haor Region.” What does this recognition consist of and why was it awarded to you?
Yes, this was an event in 2021. I was born in a remote Haor region of Bangladesh. From a very young age, around 14 or 15, my writings began to be published in various national newspapers. Later, local media also published interviews and reports about my literary work.
Gradually, from the Haor region to the entire country, I gained respectable recognition for my contribution to poetry and rhymes, thanks to media coverage and the love and support of people.

What is your main strength or writing style?
My main strengths in writing are creativity, the use of simple yet rhythmic language, and the ability to connect emotions with social reality and everyday life. I mainly specialize in poetry, rhymes, and children’s literature, where I try to convey positive, educational, and motivational messages.
My style is characterized by rhythmic fluency, personal storytelling, and the portrayal of life in rural areas such as the Haors of Bangladesh. I also focus on inspiring new writers and promoting creativity in youth literature.
How many books have you published and in what languages are they available?
I have published several books so far, including Chorar Jhalak, Mojar Porha Chondo Chora, Smrithir Alponay Kavya, and Chawa Na Chawa. These books have been published mainly in Bengali. I also have individual and collaborative books in English across different genres.
Which Bangladeshi poets would you recommend?
You can explore poets like Kazi Nazrul Islam, Jasim Uddin, and Shamsur Rahman, who represent revolutionary, rural, and modern poetic traditions respectively.
Can you tell us about Kavya Kishor International (KKI)?
I founded KKI in 2020 as a Bengali youth literary magazine, which later evolved into a global literary platform. It now promotes literature, peace, and humanitarian values through poetry, fiction, essays, translations, and digital art.
What are the goals of WikiGenius?
WikiGenius is an open online directory and wiki-style platform focused on notable individuals, companies, and topics worldwide. It is more flexible than traditional encyclopedias and allows broader participation.
What is the vision and mission of Bhikitia?
Bhikitia aims to be an open and inclusive knowledge platform, making information accessible in Bengali and other languages. It promotes a more flexible approach to notability and supports global knowledge sharing.
How has Bhikitia performed since its launch?
It has grown rapidly, surpassing 1,000 articles created by volunteers. Despite criticism, it continues to expand and improve its systems while maintaining its philosophy of open knowledge.
What do your parents think about your projects?
My family always supports me. Their encouragement motivates me to continue creating and moving forward.
How do you balance poetry, engineering, cultural management, journalism, and social life?
I do not see technology and literature as separate. Both are forms of creativity. I manage my time weekly and work with volunteers for ongoing projects.
From your perspective, what does the rapid advancement of AI mean for humanity?
AI will bring both opportunities and challenges. It will improve productivity, medicine, and education, but also raise concerns about jobs, privacy, and ethics. However, it will remain a supportive technology that depends on human intervention.
What does being born at the dawn of the 21st century mean to you?
It allowed me to grow up with technology, access global knowledge, and develop creativity from an early age.
What projects are you currently working on?
I am currently writing a book on political topics and developing a web application for competition management to improve my technical skills.
