Hello everyone at STEEM!
After browsing through steemit.com on the recommendation from my buddy @bookmanpage, I have finally come up with my very first post in #introduceyourself !!!
I knew very little about blockchain until the ransomware Wannacry attack. I started studying various ways to implement this as a platform. Here in India it is a relatively new avenue.
Steemit is one-of-a-kind (And I thought BRAVE browser was on of a kind) blockchain based social network. I doubt this will be the case forever as many others will try to create a similar product. Going through some posts, all I could see was about Content and Curation. STEEEM is more than that. Steem is also about Consumption. There is an immense amount writing material being created every minute, most of them are original ideas and thoughts. From Crypto world to Cat and Dog emotions, there is a lot to take (no Facebook like trolls and fake news or hate news).
So here I am and this is me:
I am a guy who loves many things, does many things and learns a lot. I work as a software developer during the day and spend the rest of the time doing absolutely nothing of any importance (here’s hoping steem will change that! LOL )
I recently shifted to a place near where I work for easy commute, the view from my terrace looks like this:
The best thing about this place is the sound of wind at night, maybe because there is still an open space in front.
Things I like:
[Friends from work, during the inauguration of a football tournament]
This photo is very dear to me as I am holding my lucky football, which was lost or stolen the same day :(
I like sports. Cricket, Football and badminton mainly, and I am ready for other games too.
I don’t have an athletic build, and I would love to improve on that front. Who wouldn’t? Playing with friends is one of the best things a guy can do over weekends.
Here are some more images of cricket and football from the last few years with my colleagues.
Here’s me accepting bribes LOL :D not really!
At rest and waiting for our turn:)
A runners-up trophy from last year !
And now about my other interests
My Obsession with superheroes!<<<<<<
I really like superheroes, they take me to a world of possibilities. We are truly in need of a Captain-America today or the avengers or One-Punch-Man – Saitama to cure from whatever is wrong with today’s world’
I love manga and anime too currently I am into One-Punch-Man and Angel-Densetsu. Ofcourse Naruto and Boruto are on my top list. More on the manga side later…
I recently purchased a WINTER SOLDIER t-shirt for a game:
I don’t like action figures, but dressing up is something I do enjoy.
Spending time with friends / Eating out:
I eat a lot, but somehow it doesn’t show :( There are some really cool places nearby where I usually hang out with friends-
Party Time !!
This is a photo from the time I enacted in a play depicting unity during India’s freedom struggle.
Painting -> -> oh yeahh
Sometimes I use my free time to randomly draw any shape or figure. The one here is when I saw an eggshell. I use Photoshop or Paint to draw, this way its more neat and I can have endless ‘undos’
I was waiting at a shop that had earthen-ware, so when I got back I drew this on Paint.
This one below is a special image which I created for Women’s day. This pic was used in a presentation in an event I hosted at my office. It was done by using only the spray brush tool.
Still Photography
There is something amazing about still life photos. Their shadows, lights and calmness is something that draws me towards them. I experimented with photography last year, mostly with my mobile phone camera and tried to capture some objects. I never got a desired shot, but I still feel these are the best that I can do.
I believe that hobbies like drawing, photography, pottery, etc. need an immense amount of dedication and hard work to produce something valuable. I am still in the process of learning, learning to play cricket, football, drawing and photography.
I have seen some great posts and contests in STEEM about almost all forms of art which fills me with hope that I can really take a few pointers from here.
Thank you for being patient and reading till the end. Please share your thoughts about my post and about your own passion, I would love to hear from you guys.
To a new start at steemit, Cheers!
