Greetings my fellow Steemians / Steemers!
Today, after much deliberation and after having been inspired by a popular anonymous introduction post by a fellow Steemer on why they chose to be anonymous on our shared platform, I have decided to finally make an attempt at an introduction.
The reason for the delay after having had an active Steemit account for a number of months, was due to having been convinced by all the introduction-related posts on this platform that members need to reveal themselves to the public in order to be considered trustworthy or legitimate. Coming from a dangerous country and upbringing of self preservation and privacy, I have prided myself in being tight-lipped about my affairs and as such always felt uncomfortable claiming responsibility for achievements.
Therefore it was a breath of fresh air to see @jenghis post 'Introducing Myself & Why I Chose to be Anonymous' just yesterday, which has since emboldened me to come out and say 'Hi' to everyone, in the hopes of being accepted in this wonderful community for writing about things that matter to me and hopefully to others too, i.e. Technology, Philosophy, Education, and Travel. I graduated university in Industrial Design and as such have a fascination and affinity for 3D printing. I will post more about my exploration into this field in the near future, as well as my experiences as a volunteer English teacher for an NGO in Thailand.
My first successful 3D prints from 2015:
In addition to this I would like to share some local delights I either stumbled across or very purposely made a record of to someday share with people like you, so I do hope some of you would do me the honour of perusing my posts to glean whatevery positivity you may from them. This is my hope, to contribute positively towards humanity in some way. For all the negativity in the world and the media we see around us each day, it sometimes takes a peek at a microcosm of life in some other part of the world to remind us of the simple delights that appeal to the innocent children in us all.
Below I have posted a couple of images that are each attached to stories of their own which I will post full articles on in the coming days and weeks, so please stay tuned!
The famous Jade Buddha, Wat (Temple) Phra That, Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, Thailand:
Children lining up for lunch at a local Northern Thai school I was volunteering at:
A local beauty contest in Northern Thailand:
The last remaining traditional blacksmiths in the village of Sanpatong, Chiang Mai, Thailand:
Thai Rhinoceros fighting beetles at a local market:
I have hundreds of photographs and plenty of stories that I would love to share with you all but there just isn't enough time in a day so follow me on this journey of self-discovery if you would like and please invite me to join yours, I would love to be a part of your story too! Let's explore the universe together. Thank you.

Dear @mandeep17, I am readying the images and words that I intend to pour forth for my fellow Steemers such as yourself. Thanks for the support!
Hello @quixoticmusings warm welcome to the platform. Waiting for your stories. Don't mind if I ask what is the meaning of your username (@quixoticmusings)?

Dear @sukha, thank you kindly for the warm welcome. I cannot wait to put into words the experiences and interactions I feel will resonate with society at large. The username comes from a favourite book and character of mine called Don Quixote, whose name has been used to coin the term 'quixotic', which means 'unrealistically idealistic or impractical'. I consider myself to be somewhat idealistic and therefore feel like Steemit is the perfect platform for me to put into words the musings or reflections that go through my mind regarding the unrealistic expectations of society. Thank you for the support and interest! I appreciate you.
Oh thanks
