Suppose some asks u to introduce urself...how would u start it?
Out here in the subcontinent i have heard people start their intro with "Myself..." follwed by their name.Is this a correct method?
i personally prefer a simple "I am..." followed by my name...
Do u people have any other innovative ideas regarding this...
Thanks in advance
Tuhin

What about "I am the one called Tuhin"? It sells in old westerns at least.

Just don't do it in the 3rd person.
that is so tacky and affected!
me, i am something like the famous beauty whose face launched a thousand ship.. just don't wait for my ship to come in.. (they all sunk!)
we are all slightly crazy here. (why should this place be any different than the rest of the world?)
Information and announcements has some threads with great links.. be sure to check it out.

Nothing innovative here. Just "my name is ASp" and so forth.

I must say I don't really understand the use of "Myself..." to begin your sentence, Tuhin. Do you mean "Me..."? One could introduce oneself after several others by saying "Me, I am so-and-so" (like in French "Moi, je m'appelle..."), but I don't think "Myself" can be used in the same way.

herein can be found the actual Bond quote, which (we claim) is simply: Bond. James Bond.

Hello tuhin,
The way I introduce myself depends upon the situation.
If I'm joinging a group in a personal social context - party, beach, BBQ - I'll simply say, "Hi, I'm belMarduk"
In a conference, when addressing a panelist, I say Good day, state my name, my company and then ask my question.
When chairing a conference, I've said, "Good day, my name is ..." and "Good day, I am..." depending on what was appropriate.
Note: "Good day" looks kinda hoity-toity when I write it in English but it is a very common salute in French "bonjour"
