Who am I?

This is my first post. And if anyone is really reading my blog, and you want to know who I am, here it goes....

Who am I? This question looks very simple and direct, but there is a lot of depth to it. I will describe to my best both simply as well as with that contemplation to it.

I am a simple, nice, helpful Indian girl...wait a minute...simple? My mind gets so complex at times, it feels like a deadlock! If reading the word deadlock triggers something about the operating system's deadlock management and deadlock related issues in your mind, then yes, I am a computer science student too, so that explains the use of that particular word. I am nice, both outside and inside...I mean to look at (as others have quoted :-D, I'm not bragging...) and to be with. Being helpful equates with being Indian. Proud to be one! So, being Indian has instilled many qualities in me, which by default come with just 'being born Indian' , kudos to India and her culture. If someone is wondering why India is referred to as 'her' always and not 'him', thats the greatness we attribute to the female clan...many very feminine qualities of caring, sharing, sacrificing and loving unconditionally come with being an Indian. Its in the blood of Indians who live its culture. I will write a different post completely dedicated to India and its culture...let me not digress from ME now...HEHEHE.

I did my schooling in Bangalore where I was born and brought up and live even now. I studied in a convent, all girls school. I'm 20 now. My high school life was good. But my pre-university life sucked! That college, the lecturers, the whole ambience sucked....literally! Except for a few good friends I gathered. My engineering phase of life, which I am in now, is the best! I just love my college, the lecturers..Divya M'am my favourite..my lovely friends...7 of them that fill my life with colour like the rainbow on a bright sunny day. Nitya the Violet, Prithvi the....hey wait a minute, I paint too...so I love colours. And its so beautiful what each colour symbolizes and its even more beautiful to characterize my friends with these colours. Let me describe each one of them with a colour....

Nitya - Violet.

Just like Violet symbolizes harmony of the universe and the planets in the solar system because of the combination of red(known as yang) and blue (known as yin), Nitty darlin makes everything harmonious among the 8 of us. Popes use violet or the royal purple for their robes..to symbolize power and responsibility...thats what our Nitya is too...power house of our friendship and a very responsible person.

Teddy - Indigo.

Indigo, the colour of deep midnight sky...this is Teddy, aka Prithvi Hegde. The calm and serene soul as she always is....profound insight of self, spontaneous humour (often PJs!!! :-D)...purity of thought and attitude, just as Virgin Mary who is depicted with Indigo.

Dodo - Blue.

Blue is the colour of depth, stability, vastness like the ocean and the sky...this is what our Dodo is...Sadhwika is her name, but she is fondly called Dodo, although the bird dodo was supposed to be meek and defence-less, she is not so, she's just called so. :D Dodo is typical blue symbolizing trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.

Priya - Green.

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony and freshness just like our ever-green Priya..who always springs with joy and spreads it all over.

Boogu - Yellow.

Don't ask me why we call Sharanya Boogu...its highly censored..hehehe...But she is typical yellow, chirpy, bubbly, jolly, all smiles for all, always like the bright yellow sunshine, warm and energetic. :-)

Suppi - Orange.

Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics just like Suppi... determination, attraction, success, encouragement is what she is.

Cleo - Red.

Queen Cleopatra after whom she was nicknamed Cleo...Veena is the passionate red...symbolizing fire and love and strength. Bright and attractive, eye-catching and pretty, smart and sweet...the little red riding hood - our cleo.

So these are my rainbow colours, the VIBGYOR of my life! :-)

Lemme not digress....coming back to ME :-D .... The WHO AM I question which intrigues me demands a lot of contemplation. Questions like Who am I, why am I here, what is the purpose of my life, how can I make my life better and useful to more and more people have always made me muse and I'm still musing on it...so I would definitely post an article on it once I completely decipher the subject. :-)
