I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me deprived was a bad image, I was underprivileged. Then they told me underprivileged was overused, I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I sure have a great vocabulary.

Physically as I move into the future with the rest of the world , I discover that my ethical, moral and philosophical time axes are pointing in the opposite direction. I am on the journey into the past. A misanthropic socialist(now what is that?) by choice, I am an individualist by nature. The philosophy I have developed independently is somewhat similar to deep ecology. A master cynic, I believe in questioning and doubting everything and I often do what Russell suggests: "In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted". Existing simultaneously in two absolutely different and opposite states, I strive for equilibrium, which in my world is not necessarily somewhere in between. Needless to say, among my favourite literary characters are Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. A 'nadamadum'(mobile) oxymoron, I also pen under the pseudonym of 'mutRupuLLi'(Full Stop).
