Since I have nothing interesting to add here in this blog anyway, let me play a game of tag. I was tagged by puneet - http://sdfn.blogspot.com/ . Now I gotta ramble about 20 random things about myself. So here you go
1) Started driving cars at the age of 6 .. used to sit on my fathers lap and drive em .. at 7 I could drive alone ![]()
2) Biking started at 9 - learnt it all alone by hijacking my fathers bike when he wasn’t home. Yes, my feet wouldn’t reach the ground and I would have to balance until I reached any ledge where I could balance one of my foot to stop the bike
3) Was forced to sign a statement at school stating that I would leave school if I created any more nuisance than I already did ![]()
4) Extremely clumsy and have to dash into every piece of furniture in the house even if all I do is get up and sit down in the same place.
5) If I get addicted to an idea/possibility, I can’t sleep. Have not slept many a nights due to this
6) Ex voracious reader right thru college. Went through approx 2K books and exhausted my local library before 12th grade. Now haven’t read a book in a couple of years ![]()
7) Played cricket for my school - stopped watching matches ages ago
Wanted to play the drums - someday I will. Once I have a big office and stuff.. I intend to take classes at work after the employees leave ![]()
9) Been a computer freak since childhood. The first computer bought was a Sinclair Z-80
10) Always been a stickler for privacy. I respect others’ privacy and expect the same and luckily i’ve found that the best of my friends think the same ![]()
11) The first time I earned money was when I and my friend bet Rs.1o on a cricket match we and the neighbourhood kids played. We won.
12) Had only 1 friend through college.
13) The worst thing about running pagalguy.com is dealing with business school students
14) Never been to a pub, never had a sip of beer, never smoked a cigarette. I guess I have bigger addictions and life is one of them ![]()
15) Failure doesn’t mean squat and is just success delayed. My astute belief.
16) I want the time to write and inspire. Someone out there might find something useful from my life experimentations.
17) Fav. dessert is the caramel pudding my mom makes. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING I’ve eaten across half a dozen countries comes close.
18) My fav line to my mom - “Mera kya hoga” for which I get the response ” Tera kuch bhi nahi hoga” ![]()
19) Games. PC Games. Will play em now..and will build entire gaming rooms sometime later in life ![]()
20) For 1.5 years, I didn’t tell my parents I founded and ran pagalguy.com . Now they can’t gush enough [grin]
And no, I aint tagging no one. People deserve peace ~

Posted 03 Mar 2006 at 1:05 pm ¶Wow…you know once when I saw you driving the car..you were just in 6th STD or something and we used to wonder how you are driving when are so small..but at age 7..you’d have been in 2nd or 3rd std!! That’s too much. By the way, I dont know what tagging is..but after reading these things I felt it was touchy! hehe…it’s nice that you have so many dreams and the mind and strength to make them real. Good Luck to you.
