Physically I'm vertically as well as horizontally challenged. To make it clearer, shall I say that I'm constantly in danger of being blown away by a breeze. I'm extremely athletic..I can't take even a single push-up. Also I've been planning to visit a gym for the past 5 years (mmm...I must soon ask someone the way to the nearest gym). The last time I engaged in any sporting activity was back in High School when I tried out for the Basketball team..unfortunately, the coach was not too appreciative about my skills. The next time I played it was in a match in our Engineering College and we got drubbed 20 to 2 (or was it 30?) and needless to say the single basket wasn't mine.

However I was very successful in another game..one that didn't ask of me to stretch a muscle..chess! So much so that I was the college champ in the place where I did my 11^th and 12^th (ok!...so it was not such a big college). The only other type of gaming in my life involves a computer or a game parlour.. I love car racing or rallying to action. My greatest love has been the NFS series..and I've eked out a collection from NFS2 to NFS5. The best game I've played, graphically as well as reality-wise has been NFS5:Porsche 2000. MaxPayne may be better but I haven't played the full version yet..c'mon this is India what more can you expect!

Computers form another interest of my life. My first computer was an Intel Pentium 166 (@200) gifted by my uncle. After it mysteriously gave up on me I got my present machine, an AMD Athlon Thunderbird (1.1 Gig), which I assembled myself. (I'm currently in the anti-Intel anti-microsoft bandwagon). To quench my gaming thirst I also bought the latest 3D card available then, a GeForce256. Presently, I'm a very nervous explorer in the world of Linux. I've set up a dual boot system with RedHat7.2 and Windows98.
