Namaste from an Indian otaku! YES, THEY DO EXIST. :D

Hello, peoples of the Internets! 🙂
I figured it was only polite to introduce myself first, before I start badgering people with all the questions I have--which I'll shortly be doing elsewhere in the forums.
Lowdown of My Essential Properties, And Some Accidental Attributes:
I'm female.
I'm an Indian.
I like capslocking. Sorry in advance.
I'm a devout Hindu, but I appreciate, respect and often even observe the festivals of other religions. Hey, any excuse for a festival, right? And FOOD. Let's not forget the food. "'Scuse me, I love your God, I love our God--oh, are those the sweets? GIMMEH." Actual quote, trufax.
I'm mainly a shoujo reader, which is a bit embarrassing to admit, since I'm in my late twenties and I should have outgrown that by now. Yeah, I know I should have, but... But...! BUT THE HEARTS. AND THE GLITTER. AND THE EYELASHES LONG ENOUGH TO FUNCTION AS INDUSTRIAL CRANES. <3
Don't ask me how late in my "late twenties" I am. First of all: You never ask a woman her age. Second of all: You just... don't. Augh, I'm getting old. This is so pathetic. ;_;
I do read josei, too, but I hardly ever read any shounen or seinen. That said, I have been known to occasionally pick up landmark seinen manga. By "landmark," I mean seinen by godlike mangakas such as Osamu Tezuka and Naoki Urasawa. Basically, only geniuses can convince me to read outside of my demographic. This is also pathetic.
But! The one bright, totally non-pathetic spot in my life is my honey-boo, whom I will be engaged to in June, and will be married to by next year, gods willing. We're both Indian, so it'll be a full-on Monsoon Wedding. Yes, our horoscopes have been matched and everything. I think it's awesome how modern technology and ancient customs can coexist...
What else? I love Baka-Updates. 😎 Not just sucking up here, I really mean it. This place is just so useful for an otaku like me. Makes me want to go for a swim in it. Mmm, swimming.
By the way, that's my other hobby. Swimming! I even used to compete and win prizes and stuff. Ten years ago. When I was a teenager.
Augh, I'm getting old...
Are there any other adults or full-time working/parenting people on here? Or anyone from India? Or anyone with anything in common with me at all? Please speak up!
Yes, the epic lowdown of doom is now over. Say hello! Or don't. You know. But have a great day, anyway. 🙂

Scary introduction. Hi.
SeeYa
Gorath
Nice introduction, I would give you a cat for the effort, but those are my most precious goods (plus I don't have any 🤣 )
And those people you are looking for, there are some around.
See you around and enjoy!

Hello!
Nice intro. ^^
I hope you will enjoy the forums.
Don't let us crazy folk scare you off. ;3
Nothing's wrong with enjoying shoujo.
Though I'm not an enthusiastic shoujo reader myself.
My poison is BL (and the occasional interesting GL).
Being a fujoshi is not a matter of age.
It's very varied!
Oh and I love swimming~ It's the only actual sport I'm glad to practice, actually.
Congratulations on your future wedding!
I wish you and your honey love, luck and prosperity. 🙂
Are there any other adults or full-time working/parenting people on here?
Yes, there are.
I'm not one of those though since I'm still a student.
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.
Yeah, one of those oldies is just above me. 😛 (Never mind, I was referring to Tsuto) Don't worry, there are a lot of people here who are above 25 and/or parents. I've seen people over 40 posting here, so you're not old! And there's no age on a hobby such as manga reading.
Have fun and enjoy~
Extreme justice is an extreme injury: for we ought not to approve of those terrible laws that make the smallest offences capital, nor of that opinion of the Stoics that makes all crimes equal; as if there were no difference to be made between the killing a man and the taking his purse, between which, if we examine things impartially, there is no likeness nor proportion.

Cool... it's amazing how many people LOVE manga. Ehhh I'm probably also an otaku. 😛 Oh and I don't read only yaoi(as my data seems to suggest) but about almost everything: shoujo, josei, yuri(all types), BL, etc., etc. I just don't like a lot of modern mainstream stuff though because it's just boring.
Oh and welcome to Baka Updates. 😉
Btw, I ish like your avatar. =)
