Hi Steem it peeps,

My name is Rahul, and I have been super fascinated by the Steemit community for a while ( last 17 days lol).

I have to admit, I heard first about crypto-technology ( read: bitcoin) only a couple of years back, but only started taking the technology seriously over the last few weeks. One Youtube video led to another, and now I find myself part of this insane community, which appears to grow bigger and bigger with each passing day!

With plans of always starting a blog and exploring cryptocurrencies, Steemit appears to be the perfect mix to explore.

I was born in a small city in Wales called Bangor with my parents having immigrated from India. However, I was only there for a short period of 4 years and then we moved back. (Cities: Baroda + Chennai)

Like most Indians, ended up doing engineering but hated it completely. Just smoked a lot of pot for 4 years. I don't even think it was pot, it was probably grass laced with rat poison tbh.

My university also happened to be in a remote shitty village and if you think I am BSing, here is a picture of a cow that entered one of our hostels and ate some homework (not fucking with you)

After university, I decided I wanted to leave India and explore the world a little more, and somehow ended up living/working/studying/freelancing in Amsterdam, Thailand and Hong Kong (currently) over the course of the last one year.

With respect to my day to day life, I love building and working on small side-projects but for the most part, I lead online growth at Soundbrenner - the world's first wearable for musicians.

Here is some other random stuff about me:

  • I used to play in a band called Waterlemons. You can check us out on Soundcloud.

  • Huge fan of existential/nihilistic humour, and deeply appreciate dark humorous conversations about life.

  • Launched around 15 side-projects in the last 6 months. 2 even got featured on Venturebeat. You can check out a few here

  • I run a shit ton of Facebook Ads

  • I can twist my tongue

  • I beatbox when I am drunk

  • Psychedelics are nice

  • Am 22 years old

  • I need fucking spicy food

  • I love coconut in my food

  • I do fart openly

  • Nietzsche is bae

  • Blah

  • Blah blah

I hope this post was interesting enough, and my plans are to keep sharing more and more with the Steemit community as I look to keep improving my writing skills and "find my voice" in due time.

Do let me know what you love/hate about me and this post!

Until next time people,

ALEX MONNE! Half mallu here bro, but my malayalam sucks lol.

Got a lot of friends out in in the Gulf, since I went to NIT Trichy. We might even know the same people hahah.

Hong Kong is a beast of a place. A true work hard, party hard city which kind of fits with my personality. It's impossible to get bored. With parties everyday of the week to kickass hiking spots to explore over the weekends, the city kind of has it all.

Some may not like it cause of the high levels of pretentiousness (outward appearances matter a lot, shit loads of billionaires), but there are more upsides than downsides to the place. Also, no city is perfect anyways :)

Just followed you buddy!

Let me know if you are ever here, happy to show you around!
