* I built a distributed search engine for my final year college project, when my teachers and friends told me I was taking on too much. It survived two project mates walking out, and some rather dumb ones pushed in. I got a 97 for it, and consider it THE accomplishment of my college years.
* Wrote an indexing program in C that crashed a Netware network. :P
* I've read the Bhagwad Gita, the Koran, the Bible and the Tao Teh Ching. I am still an atheist.
* I've written a complete IM module at work when drunk. Oddly, this has been considered one of my better contributions to the project in that company.
* I've completed reading five Asimov novels in the course of a single day.
* I am an Indian, yet can't speak any Hindi. I have lived in the Gulf, yet can't speak any Arabic. My folks speak Konkani at home, yet I cannot speak that either. Dad knows Portuguese, yet I somehow never picked it up from him. Strangely though, I can speak French, Japanese, Quenyan and am on my way to studying Sanskrit.
