Being born on 14th March (keep
guessing the year) makes me a dreamy and romantic Piscean and believe it or not i share my birthday with non other than Albert
Einstein and Aamir Khan .That's why i think God ran out of brains and beauty .
But ,Hey , no complaints I am in love with myself and that's what I really care
for . I grew up in the beautiful country of INDIA , enjoying each and every sort
of variety that nature has so generously endowed on India. Right from the north
region where i faced cold December nights of Jalandhar preparing for the
Semester exams with 2 blankets , some friends and lotsa groundnuts (Thanks a lot
,Vinay) down to the south where in Hyderabad i had one of the best 3 months of
my life (in terms of learning ,not technical stuff but about life) In the
eastern sector , my stay in Shillong was like heaven , small ,sleepy but
xtremely pleasant place ,i think i will take my wife there for our honeymoon ,to
the western area of Gujarat where my roots lie and Bombay(which is what one of
my friends wanted me to pronounce it even after it's renaming) where i spent my
childhood(don't remember much of it ,though) , I have been through it all. And
in the process made such a treasury of memories ,anybody could be envious of .
Thanx ,Mom and Dad for making it possible.

Chronology
14th March 1977
The Year which
will be remembered as the year a great soul graced this planet in a private ward
of some Maternity Clinic in the dairy down of Anand ,which now boasts of
AMUL ,the pioneer of Opeartion Flood in the country(Thanx ,
Mr.V J Kurien ,we still remember you in Anand and elsewhere , too ) , the NDDB
(Remember the cute jalebi ad of Dhara ,that's NDDB) , the country's best Rural
Management college , IRMA whose post-graduates are
bringing luxuries easily to India's 70% rural population and a couple of
Enginnering Colleges .Enuf for a town with a population of less than 5 Lakhs .
1977-1982
I don't
remember much about my stay in Delhi but ont thing i that will
stay with me will be memories of our landlord Mr.J C Gogia . Uncleji ,Simmi
Didi,Poonam Didi and Neeraj Bhaiyaa ,i still remember the nice time you all gave
me during my childhood . Do you ?
1982-1990
A long period
of my chidhood and early adolescent dawned in the metropolis that was Bombay . err....Mumbai (I don't want Thackeray's goons searching
for me all over B'lore) . A lot of memories are connected to the place where i
lived ,WREB Staff Quarters ,very near the then picturesque Juhu Beach and my
school Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan . Rubber Ball
Cricket and the fights which used to go with it (Thanx ,Vikas ) and books ate up
all my time and i did nothing other than imitating my then fav,Mithun .And hey
,Toni aka Jatinder Pal Singh Kalsi, i forgot to tell you that i really enjoyed
the time when we were together. Maybe some other day ,some other time we can
make it again. And i how can i forget The Eternal Chatterbox ??? She's followed
me to Bangalore ,too ..If u still didn't get the point ,Shree ,that's you
.
1990-1994
Time of dreams
,Time of Shattered Aspirations and Time of Frustation and Times of Immeasurable
joy .This sums up my stay in Shillong . I stayed in Shillong during the most
important time of my life .It was the time of make or break .Anything and
everything i would do now ,will affect the rest of my life.That i knew. But what
i didn't knew was what to do and how to do it . But even in such tumoultous
times there were moments of ecstasy . Thanx Rajesh Pant for teaching me things i didn't knew i had to do in order
to stay ahead in the race of life and thanx for teaching me the rules of the
game called Life .In fact ,we together with Harvinder and Nabendu(Where are you
,yaar .Both of you) discovered things that we were supposed to in that stage of
life and even those we weren't to . Another friend whom i won't forget ever and
who was my first crush also taught me all about believing in oneself and stuff
.I still remember out trip to BaraPani , but feel that you have forgotten it .
Thanx,yaar,for giving me some confidence and some inner strength but where have
you got lost now ?I am waiting for you to recreate the magic again .
1994-1998
The first
thing which i knew after coming to the college in Jalandhar in the hot and humid
days of August '94 was a confidence that now i was the best of the best . That
no matter what i do in the next 4 years , when i complete my B.Tech Computer
Science , i will get out as one of the country's best.Period.And this attitude
,i think , killed the killer instinct in me . For 4 long years , i simply did
nothing (Who says nothing is Impossible ,I have been doing it for the past 21
years) except a lot of novels ,TVs ,traveling and making friends . But i won't
rate these years as sheer waste 'cos it was at this place where life taught me
some principles which got embedded in my mind forever ,some right ,some awfully
wrong . But i was getting there and was happy to do that .
1998-The Present
This era saw a
change in me which even surprised myself. A guy who just used to hate the
computer lab in the college for the simple reason that it had computers ,who
just got pissed off by hearing some technical jargon ,would become such a
computer freak . Now ,i am in love with my PC ,more than anything in this world
.I can't stay without it for much long . It has become my faith , my religion
and just about everything . What i do on it , is another matter . But i m just
amazed with the number of hours i put in . It's difficult to imagine how i
managed to live without one all these years . Why i love my PC ? It doesn't care
whether i had a bath or not in the morning .It doesn't ask me for treats in
expensive restaurants . It doesn't ditch me when i expect something from it
.
