I've never really posted about my own life here, so I thought I should probably intro myself properly.
I was born here, grew up here, moved to the States for a couple of years, moved back and have been here ever since.
My family is fairly liberal (in comparison to most Indian families, note the difference between modern and liberal) but in a lot of ways they still hold on to conventions; most of the time it feels for the sake of nostalgia.
Its taken a while for me to come to terms with what I am, and although I still deal with it (as we all do) I'm definitely proud to be Indian.
I don't speak Tamil so great, but at least I speak it better than most of my counterparts. I think Tamil movies are stupid, but undoubtedly enjoy some of them (never, EVER enjoyed serials though).
I love art, always have, and for a long time I believed that I really wanted to be a graphics designer because of my love of digital graphics. It was easy to say for many years, but deep inside I felt conflicted because I couldn't imagine myself doing that for the rest of my life. It took some branching out, and thinking out of the box until I discovered more books on art history, and have been a junkie since.
I would love to study art history, and maybe some day work for brokerages; taking up the business side of art as well of the aesthetics.
I not only love to travel, its actually important to me that I do as I feel it works in synergy with what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I cannot even imagine living a textbook life, I don't even think I'm built that way. If I get married before I turn 30 I might shoot myself.
I hate explaining who I am and what I'm like and have no idea why the hell I'm doing this.
Oh, and just for kicks, this is what I posted in my Myspace about myself:
I crave intellectualism and to band together with my fellow Grammar Nazi's. I've ditched most of my old friends and old habits to play mind games with trashier, older more intelligent people. I do a lot of volunteer work under the pretense of 'giving back' but really, I'm just sprucing up my college application. I really can't stand children, despite the fact in a bigger context I am one. I talk a lot about 'making an impact beyond out own existence', but the truth is I'm just narcissistic and optionally racist. Too many people are idiots. If I were born a man, I'd probably end up an emo gay kid. But not the self-cutting kind. I think I'm nice. I think. Mostly honest. And full of lulz. :)
I've just discovered the joys of camwhoring (I swear Kavi, it's a disease) and post lots of crap on my blog.

"Optionally racist" Oh the lulz .. the lulz.
Congrats, that makes you one of the Indians who don't fit into Magnus'es 3 Indian Classification Guideline.
Hmm, now that I think about it this is only the first or second time someone has written an intro post. Can someone add this to the choice post.
P/s : I just "admin'ed" you. Have fun. Go crazy. Don't turn the blog into a titty join promo site :)

Booyah! Woohoo, I finally have an excuse to take over-, I mean uh...help make the site better.
:).
Wheeeee.
At 1:55 PM,
yea, more colours? ^^
At 3:14 PM,
Gahaha, actually I was just going to change the header. Any suggestions?
Maybe the template could use an eventual change too, like you said, more colours, but unfortunately I can't figure out how the hell to make custom templates work on Blogger. On LiveJournal I was an expert though. :(
