So lets get all the technical, fun things that I like. First of all if there is anything that you should know about me, its that I am an Apple Fanatic. Not to the point where I will buy every product (thats ridiculous, its expensive), but the way in how much I admire the company and their products. Its amazing how they come so far, and get into an argument with me about an android being better? Well, it will be a couple hours before I am done talking to you.

Next I put a picture up of something a little different. This is video editing, and I love it a lot. I’ve been video editing privately and have also made a few professional videos. I’ve been doing this for over 5 years and don’t plan to stop anytime soon. TurbanInc is some of the work I’ve done, youtube it sometime!

The basketball comes next, I’ve hopped from many sports, soccer, baseball, football, cricket, but the once I seem to like the most is basketball. I try to play everyday, well I used to back in CT, but now its a little harder in the city.

This is a Tabla Its actually a really unique instrument from India. It is very hard to play and I’ve been playing for 8 years now. You must have a lot of strength especially in your fore-arms and shoulders. The longest I ever played was for 3 hours at a religious event. It was quite tiring.

Now I mentioned TurbanInc above, this is a little about it. TurbanInc is a indian/sikh shirt company owned by my cousin and it has played a big role in my life. The company has gone far with orders coming from all over the world. I have to say the best part about selling the shirts, is when someone who isn’t Indian comes and buys a shirt. Its awesome to see how much a shirt can inform people.

The next picture is a morphed flag. The British flag and the American flag. I thought this was perfect, this explained much about me. I was born in England and had lived there for about 9 years. When I moved here it was a big change. But living in both countries has really shaped me to be who I am today. In England, Sikhs were everywhere, over here in America there aren’t many Sikhs, and through this change I’ve become a lot stronger and a much more proud about who I am.

The next picture is a Khanda. A Khanda is a symbol of the Sikh faith. I am a Sikh thats why I wear a Turban. Thats a small glimpse there is much to explain, you can always ask me if you are interested. I am open to questions.

Finally, I have posted a bunch of people holding hands, but I look at it as a family. Family is the most important thing in my life. I care a lot for my family as they do for me. I wouldn’t be at Baruch without them and I just wanted to thank them by including this. I am who I am because of my family, nothing else matters.

One thought on “Who Am I? Manraj Chawla”

  1. I really enjoyed the minimalist slideshow that accompanied Manraj’s “Who Am I” blog. Although I could have guessed it easily, the slideshow confirms that he is, indeed, an Apple fanatic like myself. What I didn’t know is how technical he is. As some one who dabbled in more advanced video editing and gave up due to a lack of free time, it is cool to see some one who has stuck with it as a hobby.
