Introducing Myself

Hello fellow human (I am not sure if any other species , or for that matter extraterristrials would ever read this, but If you are one, hello to you too . )

I am known as Prakash Narayan Pandey , nicknamed Guddu . My name is a typical hindu name and basically is another name of the sun-god . A all the religions that we see today practiced/practice sun worship wither openly or just symbolically. (try watching zeitgeist-the movie for more) , so I guess my name signifies the hindu sun god. My nickname was given to me by my elder sister, Pragya didi, who used to call me guddu when I was very young............"Gudda" is the word meaning a doll .....and somehow she managed to give me that nickname since she really loved playing with dolls back then.

I have a keen interest in several things, I like all kinds of sports, particularly Cricket, Football and Badminton. I love playing Chess too.......the games I love most are still not real but virtual (I am a pretty serious PC gamer) . I have serious interest in the field of finance/economics/business affairs and keep reading up about them. I have certain political views that are not exactly conventional (more later) . I have also been reading up a bit about the purpose of human life, about supernatural stuff and spirituality. The one person whose teachings have had the greatest influence on me till date is Mr. Eckhart Tolle. I have been living in the present a lot more than I used to.

I have a question for you - Can you stay still for a bit ? I mean can you keep your mind still of thought for 10 seconds ? Some say that is an Achievement , I am not too sure If it is so difficult- There are times when I can do that for more than 20 seconds.....I am not even sure if it's worth mentioning.

I have been "unconventional" enough, and I hope it is okay- considering it's the second log that I am posting ..... Hope you guys understand and read at least my first few posts.....I will try to be honest and original as much as practically possible.....
