What I do and what I am

It has been a great deal of time since I opened my account on Steemit, but could not post any write ups as I was working on other write ups. Hello everyone, I am Rajat from the coastal city of Mangalore. I am a content writer, photographer, swimming coach and a former journalist (atleast now I am).

I am here after my very old friend Meghan Naik ( @Firepower ) introduced me to this new age blogging site. Meghan was the one of the friends of mine who inspired me to ride and appreciate what I write. Three cheers to you buddy for introducing me to this platform to let me do what I do best; write, read and share photographs.

Now that my desktop is set up perfectly, I will try to flood all my followers with posts that would describe my life as a journalist with morals, a photographer with an inclination towards almost anything that runs on two or four wheels and anything that walks on four or eight legs. Though not a great fan of the ones that walk on two legs, I’d love to click primates.

Apart from what I do, I am an altruistic ambivert. An introvert when I’m indoors and an extrovert when in the great outdoors. It is both a boon and a bane for me to put others before me as on one hand a few people appreciate it while on the other, this altruistic character of mine is taken advantage of (mostly by girlfriends). That is why I sometimes become a missionary and convert them to former girlfriends. LOL

If you did grin while reading the previous sentence, I would also like to confess that I have a sense of humour inclined more towards puns and circumstantial jokes. Of course, some of which will be presented to you in the most awkward manner as possible in the coming posts. I almost did become a dad once, so bad dad jokes are my kind of jokes.

Long distance riding and trekking is what I enjoy the most. Although trekking is refreshing, biking is invigorating. Yet again, I would like to mention my friend @Firepower for being one of my active biker brothers that I have and inspiring me to be a freebird on two wheels. Like the Lynrd Skynrd classic number, obviously.

Thanks @speedracer for this picture.

I believe I have made my introductory post a lengthy one, so I would like to restrict it to not more than 450 words. So “Here I am, this is me… There is nowhere on earth that I’d rather be” – Bryan Adams.

Before I finish, Be gentle to people around you because they are your own reflection.
“We are all spirits in this material world” – a DoTA character.

DoTA = Defence of The Ancients. And yes, I love that computer game.

By the way, my Steemit ID “wolfpack-raj” stands for my spirit animal –the Wolf – As in a one man wolfpack. If not in the company of loved ones, I am better off alone. Not on social media though. He he.
