A pass-out of Electrical Engg,IIT Roorkee. My most coveted achievement till date? No, its not getting into IIT. Its maintaining my own set of standards and beliefs regarding myriad of things in the face of several odds.Most of the times full of energy and vivacity. But, at times pretty boring, depending on my degree of interest in you. People say I am dependable. I say, not exactly. But I would crusade for you if you have a just cause, given that the 'justness' of the cause is decided by me. I like to travel a lot. Till date, I have covered many parts of the Northern India ranging from Himalayas to plains, from Waterfalls to Bird Sanctuaries. But havent yet visited other parts. Being an avid reader, I just swallow the voluptuos delicacies presented in newspapers, magazines, Little-magazines (ever heard of it?), tabloids and what not. . There is a thin line between Hobbies and Passion. But I clearly demarcate between them. I live for my passion. I live to see them translate into reality. To create them so that the moments I spent in my passion, are worth reliving. My <b>Passion</b> is creation of what is in my mind. To make those things see the light of the day. These range from... Wait . To let you know these things, you have got to befriend me. <b>Hobbies</b> are what make my life interesting. The activities worth living once. These change with time, place and people around me. Like philately when I was in 6th grade. Or, flying kite when I was 8yrs old. Or, playing Chess when I had exams just round the corner. Or, researching on topics ranging from 'Programming' to 'Sex in Religion' to 'Effects of New Economic Policy vis-a-vis Gender Profile in India', et al. My all-time-favourite interests inlcude Philosophy, reading, Adda (its a bengali word) and travelling.

I have been to Rishikesh quite a few times. In fact, i live at Roorkee, a place not quite far from Rishikesh.

I have read Coelho's 2 books. The Alchemist and 11 Minutes. I have heard of this book and this is next in line, just when I finish John Grisham's : The Broker. Wait for my review!!!
Commented on juhimathur1982's review
She is definitely not worth the hype. Only, occassionally she pinches in nice performances. Chameli, for instance. Otherwise I find her performances only average. But, then which actress is worth the hype, barring a few?
Well the movie was nice. But, was it so good? Hardly. All the ppl pinched in their their nice performances. But. is it a masterpiece? Even the Director would not call it. Seems u have lost ur head by Abhishek's charm. Or, was it of Big B's?

Ekta Kapoor is a phenomenon, i agree with that. If u are on orkut, then join 'I Love Ekta Kapoor' community if it exists. If it doesnt, create one.

Try writing a play (in case u havent written one already). It would make a good read.
Commented on Chimera's review
I never herad of the book earlier (yeah, dont frown!!!). But it seems interesting. I would definitely go thru it in the next few weeks. When i read, make it a point to read my revu.
U didnt like the book, yet u read the revu. Thanx. I wud suggest u to re-read the chapter where there is Ram Lila, and another where Sophie Mol arrives. Read with a philosophical angle, and u wud be mesmerised by the theatrics.
