I have always found the idea of self introduction a bit fascinating. Every piece of conversation carries an intention, an intention on the part of speaker to convey a message. With that message, they want something in return. Maybe it was a request and speaker wants something. Maybe it was a proposal and speaker wants to here a yes. Maybe it was an answer to a question and speaker wants to be graded for it. An introduction, in my view, is an attempt by speaker to make listener think in a certain way about them. They give name in a way they want to be addressed, they give their attributes which they want listener to appreciate and converse about, they give their personal thoughts they feel listener would admire. The entire process can be a bit confounding.
But as with any conversation, the more important party is the listener. The speaker may have any intention, it’s up to the listener to decider the message, because they think for themselves. I’ve started this blog to bring a variety of messages, some stories, some meditations, some originating in my own mind, some inspired by people around me. With every message, I have an intention of invoking a certain thoughts in readers. But I am still the lesser party here, because I intend for readers to Think It Themselves.
Theatricalities aside, I’m an Aviator who aspires to become an Academic. Brought up by a supportive family, I was free to choose my calling, which got me to wonders of flight, which in turn opened my eyes to the world. My thinking has been majorly influenced by my mother, who was a great thinker and an academic herself. Apart from them I have been picking bits and pieces from wise teachers and smart friends. Seeing through different lenses, I have developed a World-view which I think is worth sharing. The best part is that the journey has just begun, and there is still so much more to learn.
