25 lesser known things about me !!!

This is the same note I put up on Facebook, thought will put it up here too

1. I was born on the 3rd day of Navratri and I didn’t do any Garba for the first 18 years of my life. I thought I had two left feet, till I finally learnt dance in Nashik.

2. I fell from a slide when I was 5 on the right side and fractured my left hand’s wrist (Even the doctor was amazed how I didn’t manage to hurt my right hand or my head).

3. I copied for an exam in my kinder garden from my class note book, but never realised that I was cheating, as I thought it wasn’t wrong as I saw from my own book.

4. I had my fist crush when I was in 1st grade, and have been having them from then, more over I have always been a hopeless romantic.

5. I had really long hair when I was young, and my mom used to tie them in two ponytails.

6. I loved painting war scenes when I was young, especially of battle tanks.

7. I know one of my Best Friend from more than 20 years.

8. I got a PC at my home in 1992. It was a 286 with 1 Mb Ram and 250 Mb HDD and I have been hooked to computers since then.

9. I started reading Auto Magazines from when I was 9 years old.

10. Some of my best friends are almost enemies of each other.

11. The first novel I read was “The Mysterious Island” by Jules Vernes.

12. I got my first email address on usa.net.

13. I was terrified of narrow spaces during childhood, and somehow got over the claustrophobia by playing computer games.

14. I got the love of cars & planes from my Dad, though he loves planes more than cars !!

15. For all you people who think of me as a Geek, I hate studying and barely study enough each time !!

16. My parents gave me a trip to Singapore as a surprise gift on my 16th B’day.

17. I am a big foodie, and sometimes believe that I live to eat !! Moreover I love the science which goes behind the cooking, and have always loved watching my mom cook and ask her all sorts of questions behind her actions. Today I can proudly say that my theoretical knowledge of cooking far exceeds my practical experience.

18. My first Valentine’s day gift was a Scale model of Valentino Rossi’s Yamaha M1.

19. I plan to write my auto biography one day, and have even written the first chapter.

20. I possess an enormous wardrobe and have more than 150 T-shirts / shirts.

21. I finally got one of my ears pierced after coming to the US, and wish to get a tattoo in the future.

22. I hated the taste of Beer till recent times, but then I finally developed the taste for it.

23. My favourite computer games are Quake, Unreal Tournament, Warcraft 3, GTA 3 & the Need for Speed Series.

24. I love to collect Watches, Sun Glasses and Scale Car Models… I guess this hint should be enough for people thinking for gifts to give me on my B’day.

25. I possess an extraordinary sense of smell and taste, and am generally the first one to detect food which has gone bad.
