While I’m chiefly a [space writer](https://jatan.space/about), I also wanted to share with my internet friends what I’m simply like as a fellow person otherwise.

First off, as you probably know, here’s me in my natural habitat—exploring corners of the Internet regardless of where I’m physically at.

Here’s what I look like as a human being in favorable lighting.

Below are some of my traits and idiosyncrasies.

- I’m *asocial* i.e. not even introverted. Even with friends, I absolutely do not like the idea of meeting them often, talking on the phone frequently or for long even if infrequently, being part of chat groups, and so on.
- Minimalist.
- Love being [peak productive](https://journal.jatan.space/yes-and-no).
- Can’t say no to tea and vada pav.
- Have more blogs than (good) friends.
- That being said, I’m truly grateful to the few people who decide to stick with me anyway.
- Get really annoyed by nearly all animations and glittery nonsense on “modern” websites, apps and operating systems. I religiously disable every possible such thing.
- How modern social networks are intentionally engineered to [exploit people’s behavior](https://journal.jatan.space/an-internet-without-intent) depresses me.
- Love playing badminton.
- Don’t like taking pictures of humans but love to snap things such as [intricate insects](https://journal.jatan.space/insects-of-jakkur) and [beautiful flowers](https://journal.jatan.space/flowers-at-iit-kanpur). The unadulterated joy of kids are an exception to the former.
- I once [participated](https://journal.jatan.space/first-photoblogging-challenge) in a Photoblogging challenge.
- Love having food at indie places, and prefer supporting them with my wallet rather than pleasing corporate franchises whenever possible.
- Really like [double-walled steel cups](https://journal.jatan.space/cup-of-steel) for consuming beverages.
- Incapable of posting even something casual in an unorganized way.

That is all.
