So I'm not a diplomat, military analyst or even a serving/retired fauji.
So why the heck do I keep clicking on the PDF tab and checking out 'Today's posts' like my life depended on it? I spend hours on this site every day!! Here's where I try to psychoanalyze myself.
1. I'm into things that go boom or make other things go boom in turn (Military aircraft, warships, tanks, all kinds of guns)-not that I'm the violent type. Has something to do with the fact that my childhood was mostly spent in remote leech-infested or sandstorm-lashed air bases listening to the earth-shattering roar of jet engines. Lots of info on all that BadaBoom stuff.
2. I love being this anonymous 'roach' guy on a defense forum who gets to comment on all kinds of topics, and I really like it when others respond to something I've said or posted. It's awesome when a bunch of people thank me for a post (SUCH an ego boost), but the best is when a non-Indian member thanks me. I feel like I achieved something. I like changing my avatars, I made the current avatar myself on photoshop and it represents my philosophy in life, I get kicks because I get the feeling it is seen as a scheming, conspiratorial avatar- Webby gave me 0/10 for it that was awesome.
3. I'm an incurable optimist, and I really want to understand. Understand my country, understand Pakistan and Pakistanis, China and Chinese, Bangladesh and Bangladeshis, Sri Lanka and Sri Lankans...among others. Here, I am starting to understand what makes us all tick- politically speaking. I truly believe that one day South Asia will be an entity without borders and the fighting will be reduced to making jokes at each other's expense. F**k you all that want otherwise.
4. And, my wife is ok with me stalking PDF, no chance of hooking up here with random hot chicas
So feel free to post your own story of why you hang out on PDF, or not.
Whatever.
Peace.
