About Me

CURRENT MISSION

No Mission... just nomadic life..

ABOUT ME

So here’s a guy --- who can’t be defined as a conventional guy --- Though he is like a normal guy in most ways. For example --- It’s normal for him to buy a motorcycle without informing his family and then get a friend to drive it coz it’s too heavy; to want to work for NASA but scoff at some of the projects involving research at NASA; to ogle at chicks in office and drool all over the place and generally crib about not having one in his life; to be in love with UNIX (especially rm *.* when working on LIVE production ); who is ready to give one hand n one leg to attend a Pearl Jam concert; to love books and not dump them even when his baggage is overweight but he finds it difficult to finish the ones he really likes; to be passionate about motorcycling that he rides from Grand Rapids to Chicago in 3 days after buying his first motorcycle in the US and in April; to believe that he has discovered a new kind of silk (his hair); the usage of ‘a’ and ‘an’ can get confusing for him (almost always); to think he can CONTROL death and fearlessly overtake cars that are already overtaking TRAILORS with a TRUCK running at you from the opposite lane and ends up skidding and driving through gravel on the other side of the road; to take up crazy bets to satisfy his EGO; anything for booze and Marlboro Hards; to think WAAAZZZAAA is an appropriate greeting for everybody and anybody (even his mom); to blush on meeting former manager’s especially of short stature with silky black hair.

And yeah, though he doesn’t like to admit it, he is a nice and polite guy who would stand by your side when the time comes, tags along to achieve the most impossible of the feats, and with the incidents in the past laugh n shudder at doing things as crazy as those and still generally crib about wanting more near death experiences.

So here am I as normal as there could be …
