Samir’s fundamental interest lies in scientific and analytical research writing. His most notable analytic work, Death and Adjustment Hypotheses, gained international recognition. Currently, he works with NGOs in Auckland, New Zealand.

Born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Samir was the third child of Mohammad Manjur Hossain and Rezia Begum. From an early age, he experienced an intense fear of death, particularly the thought of losing his parents. For 35 years, this fear silently consumed him—until he faced the passing of his elder son, Mohammad Seeyam Samir, followed by his father and mother. These profound losses marked the beginning of his journey toward overcoming his fear of death.

Samir began researching and writing about death just three days after his son’s passing. His parents’ prolonged illnesses became a difficult but transformative training period, allowing him to witness the process of dying firsthand. His mother’s final days, in particular, became a month-long practical study, during which he intentionally observed the physical stages of death.

Coinciding with these personal losses, Samir’s social life in Bangladesh became increasingly challenging. Initially, he voluntarily retired from his career as a physician and psychiatry teacher, opting instead to teach English at a private language institute. However, as his circumstances in Bangladesh worsened, he and his family made the difficult decision to migrate to New Zealand.

Samir is married to Tahmina Rahman Chowdhury, known as Teena, who is also a physician. Their younger son, Mohammad Raiyan Samir, is thriving in his education and enjoying life in New Zealand. The family is deeply grateful to the Creator for their journey and to New Zealand—a country of breathtaking natural beauty—for its warmth and support.

Although he now resides in New Zealand, Samir remains deeply connected to his motherland. He continues to write in Bangla on this website and the webpage ত্রিভুজ, alongside his childhood friends. His pre-New Zealand writings are published internationally, and the easiest way to explore them is by searching Mohammad Samir Hossain on Google Scholar.
