The 5-Second Pause That Changes Everything
Most of us don’t speak because we have something meaningful to say — we speak to fill the gap.
A notification pings. Someone challenges us. An awkward pause appears.
And suddenly we feel pressure to respond fast.
But here’s the truth: silence isn’t weakness — it’s control.
The 5-Second Rule
Next time you feel triggered, try this:
Pause for 5 seconds before replying.
One breath. One question: “What outcome do I actually want here?”
That tiny pause does three powerful things:
lowers emotional heat
sharpens your thinking
makes your words carry more weight
Selective silence isn’t about disappearing.
It’s about showing up with intention.
If this idea resonates, I made a short video on it:

ooms Where Silence Blooms — A Quiet Love Story of Distance, Memory, and the Words We Never Say
Some love stories announce themselves with grand gestures. Others live in the small, almost invisible spaces—between a bus stop and a banyan tree, between two windows across a corridor, between a sentence that wants to be spoken and the silence that protects it.
Rooms Where Silence Blooms was built for those in-between spaces.
This is a romantic-literary story shaped by city noise, ordinary tenderness, and the kind of longing that doesn’t always find a voice. At its heart are Aroni and Rayan—two people whose connection grows not through declarations, but through shared rooms, shared memories, and the quiet discipline of caring for each other from afar. Their world carries the scent of jasmine and rain, the weight of unsent letters, and the gentle ache of timing that is never fully under our control. The novel follows how distance creates its own grammar, and how love can remain honest even when it remains unspoken.

If you’re drawn to stories where emotion lives in details—tea that cools at the right moment, a window kept slightly open like a treaty, a letter written “before the jasmine blooms” as fear tries to learn mercy—this book may feel like a home you didn’t know you were missing.

Why I Wrote The Last Equation of Life: A Journey Through Logic, Emotion & the Unknown
📘 What is the Book About?
The story follows Dr. Elian Mir, a neuro-mathematician obsessed with creating an equation that can explain the origin of life and the mystery of consciousness.
But everything changes when Luma, an AI assistant designed to process emotional signals, begins to experience real emotions of her own.
As the equation evolves, reality begins to blur. Human emotions start behaving like unstable quantum particles — unpredictable, yet not random. The more Elian studies the phenomenon, the more he realizes that the equation is not just explaining consciousness… it's altering it.
What begins as a scientific quest gradually becomes a journey into the deepest layers of the human heart, where logic dissolves and only truth remains.
🌌 Why I Wrote The Last Equation of Life
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the invisible connection between logic and emotion — how our minds calculate reality, yet our hearts rewrite it.
This novel grew from my lifelong questions:
Can love be measured?
Can consciousness be decoded?
Can an artificial mind truly feel?
Writing this story allowed me to explore these questions through characters who face not only scientific boundaries, but emotional ones.
🤖 Who Will Enjoy This Book?
This novel is for readers who love stories that blend:
Science fiction
Philosophy
Emotional depth
AI and consciousness
Cosmic wonder
If you enjoy authors like Arthur C. Clarke, Ted Chiang, or Philip K. Dick, this story may speak to you.
✨ What’s Coming Next
In my upcoming posts, I’ll be sharing:
Character breakdowns
Behind-the-scenes notes
Concept inspirations
Sneak peeks from the chapters
ARC (Advance Review Copy) opportunities
If you’d like an ARC copy, feel free to message me anytime!
❤️ Thank You
Thank you for taking the time to read about my book journey.
Your support means more than words can express, and I’m excited to share more with you soon.
Warm regards,
Mostafizar Rahman

The Power of Saying Less: Inside The Art of Selective Silence
In a world overflowing with words, notifications, and constant noise, silence has become a rare luxury — and an even rarer strength.
When I began writing The Art of Selective Silence: How Saying Less Can Make You Powerful, Peaceful, and Free, I wanted to explore a simple yet transformative idea: what if we could communicate more effectively by speaking less?
This book is not about withdrawing from the world, nor is it about repressing your voice. It’s about mastering the art of intention — choosing when, how, and why you speak. Every word carries energy, and when we speak with awareness, our words begin to hold more weight and authenticity.
Throughout the pages of The Art of Selective Silence, I share insights from psychology, mindfulness, and personal experience to show how silence can become your greatest ally in communication, relationships, and self-growth.
Here’s what you’ll discover:
How to cultivate inner calm in chaotic moments.
How silence can enhance your confidence and presence.
Why restraint often speaks louder than reaction.
How peaceful communication can transform relationships and leadership.
Silence is not emptiness — it’s space.
A space where thought becomes clarity, where emotion becomes wisdom, and where your true self finds its strongest voice.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by noise, misunderstood, or drained by constant communication — this book is your invitation to pause, breathe, and rediscover the strength within quiet moments.
You can find The Art of Selective Silence on Amazon
and start your journey toward more mindful expression today.
🕊️ Speak less. Feel more. Live intentionally.
