Let's Connect: "Who am I?"

A Warm Welcome!
In principle, this is a community of people exploring the ultimate question: "Who am I?"
However, this introductory session is a little different.
The goal here is simply to let others know who you are—this space is dedicated to how you wish to be known and perceived by others.
Looking at it philosophically, you could even say that what we are defining here is actually "Who I am not."
pēruru toḻilī mūnnuṃ
pōrumāyatu kēḷkkuka!
āru nīyennu kēḷkkēṇṭa
nēr meytanne colkayāl
— Jāti Lakṣaṇaṃ, Ślōkaṃ 4 (Nārāyaṇa Guru)
The Meaning:
Whenever you meet someone, it is more than enough to know just three things: their name, their native place, and their occupation. There is no need to specifically ask, "What category or group do you belong to?" This is because their very physical form clearly proclaims the truth that they belong to the human race.
(Note: In Malayalam and Sanskrit philosophical usage, “Jāti” (जाति) primarily means a universal class, genus, or species sharing a common nature—though by extension, it later came to mean birth-group or caste.)
Guided by this beautiful principle, let us take this opportunity to get to know one another as human beings.
To help others recognize you, feel free to share your pictures and introduce yourself.
