Err… here it is,
Piscean to the core, a child of the (late) 70s (stopped counting the years now). City-hopping, trivia-gathering, identity hunting. Obsessions include culture, software, cities, marketplace and anything that twinkles.
Nibras means light. Hey, don’t look at me, I didn’t choose my name. I am self-employed. I am (thankfully) not a techie. It took me a while to get where I am in life. I’d say I’m reasonably content now. I have my identifiable roots but I have lived all over the place; I have a wandering and restless spirit, which annoys my mom no end. She’d like to see me “settled” (as she never fails to mention in any conversation she has with me) while I continue to feign ignorance of that term in the conventional sense.
I like the concept of being a global citizen. I don’t yet subscribe to the theory of growing roots and getting old in one place, living there for the rest of my life. Maybe, I’ll change my views once I get older. Maybe, I won’t.
I am passionate about travel. Stuff I’d like to be doing ideally (given the money and time), Scuba diving in Mauritius, Riding camels in Egypt, Trekking in the Himalayas, Doing a long drive on Australia’s Southern Coast, Rafting in the Ganges
- Chilling out in the Bora Bora islands. I’d also like to see much more of India and China. I like swimming and would ideally love to live beside water (being a Piscean I could probably live in water). But I also love the mountains, the snow and the freezing cold.
At 10, I wanted to be fed (mostly); at 15, I wanted to be a Pilot at 20, an Investment Banker; at 25 I wanted to be an Entrepreneur (whatever that means). When I reached the dreaded 30 threshold, I realized I didn’t much care for that either. I’m taking things as they come right now and living life to the fullest.
I am also a highly opinionated individual. I have an opinion about everything including you. In my rare moments of sanity, I recognize that having some knowledge of a topic before forming an opinion helps. But I have never let such minor details come between me and my opinions. I work on the principle that if you ask for it, you get it, opinion that is –You dirty minds. Of course, I defend my position with so much passion and that conviction that it frequently puts the other person in doubt. Quite clearly, my opinions should be taken with a pinch of salt.
I share a perfect understanding with the members of the opposite sex. We both understand that we are not meant for each other. How this state of equanimity has been reached is not the subject of this post, suffice to say it took a lot of tribulations and minor earthquakes. Contrary to my self-cultivated macho image I always develop cold feet when dealing with femmes fatales.
I also love beaches, for me to hear the waves break on the rocks is the most beautiful music in the world. I have solved some of the great mysteries of the world while sitting alone on the beach for hours..
Someday before my dying day, I want to be a Uni Professor. Yeah !! Firstly, I am tired of bunking classes as a student and now want to bunk classes as a Professor. Secondly, I find the prospect of a captive audience for my constant gibberish quite delicious.
Ok Ok I hear you.. How can you write such a long post about yourself? Is Nibras Bawa a narcist?
Ah, you finally figured it out Sherlock…whew…
This is where you'll find random crap, more nonsense and some old nostalgia ill try to pass off as advice! Read at your own risk!
