There is more to me but trying to figure out ‘a timeless about page’ that is not a long-winded monologue, is critical and time consuming .
I second this quote by Alain de Bottom , “Dear reader, do bear in mind that the first sentence, over in a second, took 4 hours of procrastination & self-hatred to get down.”
So here goes my efforts.
I am in the teaching profession by day (but work nights too when the going gets tough). I dine on books and comics (occasional magazines too), a travel junkie who gets car sick (but is unstoppable when out of it). I am thankful to have experienced life before Facebook and Google and now, after (best of both the worlds) .
I carry my trusty Hitchhiker’s Guide to Galaxy and Beyond, with me and I raise a toast to thinking aloud on life, universe and every thing. That’s what I will be doing here. Enjoy the ride!
I love your soul!

Any sentence takes much more time thinking or writing than reading. (Hearing is out, most humans don’t hear…) Compliments.
