I'm a lover of wisdom,
wisdom of Socrates and Plato,
wisdom of David o Solomon,
wisdom of Jaffer o Geber,
Oh! does that make me a philosopher?
or maybe a scientist? a religionist?
a seeker of truth? knowledge? belief or justification?

I seek the nature of being and existence?
the nature of change -
that happens in space and time?
I wonder, what is my scope of knowledge?
what is knowledge by the way?
how do I know what I know?
why do I know what I know?
"but I know that I know nothing".

I'm a nomad - I belong nowhere yet I belong everywhere.
I am a citizen of this world - I ought to explore,
I Load the ship and set out.
"If travel is searching, and home what's been found -
I'm not stopping".

On my way,
I come across - cultures, religions, casts, and nations.
I learn from them
what I think is good to learn,
I nurture myself and adapt to them.
I am an open book, I teach them,
what I think is good for them,
I might leave a lasting impression on them.

I think! I meditate! I re-think,
and I question this world,
I question the way we live our lives.
I'm a skeptic, an agnostic - a thiest agnostic?
I am a rebel; I do not follow what I have been told to follow.
But, I respect the traditions,
I learn from them to evolve and proceed.

Let's get to know,
a walk, a talk?
let's make a table for dinner -
be it Persian, Mediterranean,
Ethiopian, Peruvian, Scandinavian,
Malayasian, Indian, Oriental -
I have an appetite for
International Cuisine :)
