    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.
