Foreword

As you can see elsewhere with my writing, it’s easier to write a random, even technical, niche topics. Or even a controversial rage-bait ones. However, when it comes to introducing ourself - we often falter.

Perhaps it’s because we misunderstand, or often too scared to introspect what we are. Who we are - Deep down, if you strip the titles, names, ethnicity, etc.

Like every other writer, blogger, or a software engineer - my blogging did not start here1. And even here - it has gone multiple versions of itself. And if you are keen to notice the differences, it’s not just the difference in the technology behind the scenes, but also how I perceive, how I want others to perceive me - Everything is different. We all grow through different phases of life, and every other phase - I somehow completely rethink everything that I am, or maybe everything that I should portray.

Maybe as they say -

If you don’t look at your past and be embarrassed about somethings - You’ve never really grown out of your predispositions.

And maybe this time around - I’ll settle down on this. Not because I think I’ve become closed-minded as I’m growing older2, but because I think I have found an easy way to portray myself with all the flaws3. Maybe it’s acceptance. Or maybe it’s the balance that I’m willing to show.


1: Nor do I think it’ll end here

2: I read online long back - You’ll become more conservative as you grow older and I couldn’t help but notice that pattern ring true at almost everything in life. Be it personal relationships, ideologies, technical oscillations, professional relations, financial and even intellectual explorations.

3: Alongside all the flaws that I come with - with a pinning to where I am in life
