Who am I?
Not that it's a constant thought ' who am I' is always there but it always lingers around some corner of my head and reminds me about it's existence once in a while. When I am in observer mode or I am contemplating over something that gave me feeling of me being different or acting different than usual then it again starts to question me about who exactly am I?
In college we used to play a game where you have to answer the questions in one word and that typical question for which I never had any answer, it used to demand for me to describe myself in one word but I could never. Even given a chance to describe myself in one para or chapter or book I would still not be able to answer at least not with certainty.
Do you like travelling? yes but not that I will go on trip every couple of months or even yearly, nor that i hate it. Are you a introvert? I don't know because it depends on my mood, people around me and my social energy. Just these are some really naive and basic examples but this is not exactly I want to convey. I am different person to myself I am different to you and different person to someone else. I am a person who is listener , who understands, who is patient in one relationship but I might be somewhat opposite in the other, which makes me think about essence of my personality, my existence is different for every person I know. Not only how I am in front of them will make difference but also how they perceive will also make the difference to them and their expected answer to the big fat yet tiny question will be different. Answer to this question is not only people dependent but also time dependent. If given a deeper thought it is not only time dependent but also situation oriented and a situation is again a combination of various factors which makes it different. So, all in all it is complex.
Through all this thinking I never noticed who am I to myself, I was focusing on who I am to others, how I react in every other situation, time etc. I think to me I am like fluid which takes shape according to the mould it is kept in, but then it will be so fragile, principal-less then again I go in the loop of never ending question.
