Time and time again, I am left wondering who I am. In my search for the
self I have come across certain postulates of the self that have helped
me find my place in this world. Please check it out and let me know
what you think.
1. Ethnically, I am a Desi
2. Linguistically, I am a Telugu
3. Culturally, I am a Guyanese
4. Spiritually, I am a Christian
5. Racially, I am an Indian
6. Politically, I am a Paki
7. Astrologically, I am a Sagittarius
8. Economically, I am an Asian
9. Anthropologically, I am a Negro
10. Intellectually, I am a Superior
11. Academically, I am a Francophoned
12. Avocationally, I am a Webmaster
13. Ancestorally, I am a Dravidian
Notes:
Being Asian for me was not a good experience. It started off pretty
good but once I applied for American citizenship, then it soured and led
me into a world of jail, institution, homelessness, and rehab. However,
sex with the Asian people was really good. This time I am trying to be
Asian economically. Will it work? God only knows. Previously, I tried
being racially an Asian but encountered a barrier when the Orientals
considered me not to be Asian. Then, under some form of auditory
hallucination I am led to believe that Black, White, Asian, Hispanic are
economic classes of somekind. So is being Asian economically valid?
Time will tell. Definitely, when I was an Asian in some way form or the
other travel, touring, socialzing, and sexing was really good. I was
also able to save $600 a month.
Being Indian was no good medically, residentially, economically, and
even politically. However, I did do well academically as an Indian in
terms of school and went to well ranked schools during those days of
Indian citizenship.
Being a Desi I dressed nice and bought good clothes.
Being a Christian the housing is really good.
I am not sure of the economic status of being American. Trying it out,
though.
Will being anthropologically Negro help me develop my upper body? Time
will tell.
The Paki identity is a new one for me so I still have time to figure it
out. What will Paki lead me toward? I find Pakis are well recognized
and are well protected from harm. Will being a Paki keep me safe from
assault?
Will being Telugu engender a good family? Oddly enough although I am a
Telugu by birth, it is only in my late 40s that I identified with being
a Telugu. Go figure.
As far as culture is concerned, I am inclined to say that I am American
but the Guyanese identity is too alluring to not mention.
Perhaps you should be yourself, what ever that is each day, and let others,
and perhaps you, to see the real you. Then follow the path to where it
leads you. In the end the rest of us get to see you and perhaps choose to
follow our own paths.
