(Now that borders are finally reopening, time to dust off this profile. )

CURRENT MISSION

Still surviving adulthood.

ABOUT ME

Introvert by nature, extrovert by function. More of cognitive rather than emotional person. Sir Terry Pratchett said that humanity should be called Pan Narrans - story telling ape. I agree fully. Stories bind societies and build civilisations - please tell me yours.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to be more cynical than reality to avoid disappointment, yet somehow that little bit of idealism refuses to die.
