About me

People say, that they cannot write about themselves. I say, WHY the hell not? After all, we know ourselves better than any other thing on this planet, so why should we not be able to put the same down in ... words. So here I go..

first an interesting widget I stumbled upon Ashwini's blog.



My name is ... well you all know it ... so skip that. I am 19 years and some months old ... feeling the heat of the ending teentimes ... sigh :( ...

Born on the 9th of October, I'm a true blue Libran, and spent the wee years of my life in Jamshedpur, when my Dad was in Tata Steel. In 1994, moved to Calcutta, and have been there since. Schooling? Leave out the montessories ... went to too many of them ... (teachers there got scared of my vommiting every morning ... that's the only good thing that happened in those years!) ... classes 1 through 12 were spent with St Xavier's Collegiate School, and now, am a first year student at BITS Pilani, studying Mathematics.

Now, a bit more subjective stuff,

My friends consider me amicable and ... er ... queer at times, my parents consider me to be an adorable irritant, and I consider myself to be the next B!G TH!NG to have ever roamed the planet since the Diplodocus got extinct. So as you can see, that I harbour some ... pretty ... lofty thoughts about myself.

I love learning ... typically anything, as long as it isn't biology or medicine or commerce. Physics and Mathematics are my favourite subjects ... and I hope I get to embrace these pillars of wisdom even more closely in my later years ... Oh, and the Arts interest me too, and I have a strong affection for English literature AND alternative history ...( though I can't stand the textbooks that deal in the same ).

I love reading books ... Agatha Christie, Dan Brown, Alexandre Dumas, JK Rowling, Jeffery Archer, Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov ... the list is quite long ... and I love music too ... be it Eastern Classical or Western Hard Rock ... my fav artists are ... um ... the Beatles, Iron Maiden, Bryan Adams, Guns N Roses ... Bon Jovi, Metallica. I'm a huge fan of Bengali Rock ... and Hindi to some extent.

My dad is my foremost idol in the real world, and ... Peter Pan is, in the fiction world (I wanna stay on in Neverland). I'm not a movie buff, nor a television worm ... love watching Nat Geo, Fox History, and Discovery though ... am religious, believe in God, and Hinduism. Ardent believer in the ideals of Shankaracharya. Favourite sports are ... cricket and formula 1 ... and NOT football. Am a hardcore evangelist of open-source freeware, and cannot tolerate Microsoft, nor Apple. Luuuurve Google, Linux Ubuntu and Wikipedia. And yeah, I forgot to mention, my mum's the best mum in the world too.



Anything else I'm leaving out ... hmm ... not that I can remember ... welcome to my blog, and go through my articles if you have nothing else to do at the moment. There is a slight probability that you may even like them.

Cheerio and take care :)
