Shyamal Sinha, Burning tyres on the road


Inddiethumpers is one of the oldest and dedicated biker's group in India, based in Mumbai, there speciality is there bikes, only one Royal Enfield Bullet. The Indian Harley Davidson. These hardcore road runners have a history of 7 successful years with growing numbers of riders in there gang, featured in many news media Inddiethumpers are grown up and well organzied bikers, I got a luck to talk with one of the thumper Shyamal Sinha on Orkut's Hall of Fame, Shyamal is hard core rider and a hard core fun loving guy who is also a pakka tapoori and a real hero of road.

Thumpers’s Anthem:

Journey is the destination
Path follows imagination
Throttle roars
Engines growl
Restless spirits on the prowl

Road off the beaten trail
away from ringtones and voicemails
far from the corporate croud
alone we stand

BIKERS PROUD!!!!

Hear the hum, feel the thump
here we come
INDDIETHUMPERS!!

Zazo: Shyamal Sinha is a wing leader and coordinator of one of the most famous and oldest group of Enfield Bullet motorbike in Mumbai, He is also moderating Inddiethumpers community on orkut and its a pleasure for Orkut's Hall of Fame to have Shyamal here.
We will going to know more about this hard core rider and his groups activities.

Welcome Shyamal to Orkut's Hall of Fame!

Shyamal: thanx for the warm welcome!!

Zazo: Shyamal first thing I want to know is your background and since when you started riding BIKE specially Bullet.

Shyamal: Its been some 3.5 years I have been riding with the club, I was a bacha rider when i joined, but then yes as time flew by i grew up and so did the club, and yes now the mods believe in me taking the club to the next level. I am looking forward to take our club to the best level and to the highest possible peak of glory days.

As of me, I am a manipuri, but born in Gujarat and have been in Bombay since child hood, so no wonder I love vadapaav more then a burger!! get the desi feeling?? feelz good eh?

Zazo How Inddiethumpers started and when?:

Shyamal: Inddiethumpers was started 7 years back in 2001, by Daman Sidhu. He is the founder of our club, I was not there in the club back then but yes all used to meet up at carter road with lots of gappa shuppa and mazak masti. this fun loving atmosphere spread and all the more wide spread with the Thumping bullets connecting neighbouring clubs from different parts of India. Wanderlust (Nagpur) being the closest to the Inddiethumpers and similarly the brother hood grew grew and grew!!

Now we are a huge Fat club with friends and bikers all around India. how cool is that?

Zazo: definitely cool! well how many riders are there in Inddiethumpers? who is your favourite among them?

Shyamal: well we are about 250 to 300 by numbers and about 150 active members and lot of new boiz graduating in the club. How ever its our responsibility to make sure we all are riding safe on our rides and also make sure that the new boiz have the correct attitude about riding and not just showing off, coz I think there is a thin line between showing off and the real biker spirit.

When it comes to the sub question, I would say its a very difficult question to answer.Choosing one of my favorite inddiethumpers is choosing between your gal and your parents. So i would unanimously say that I love my family.

I have observed 2 eraz of Thumpers, one the old bois(vintage boiz) and the 2nd gen of thumpers. so I see that we have riders from all age groups from a teenager to an oldie, but all sharing the comman love for riding a royal Enfield. hats what binds us together and we proudly show it off!!

Zazo: Shyamal how one can be in your group? is there is any way of getting the admission into Inddiethumpers? is there any test a noob has to pass before getting in with you guys? Do you also have ragging thing as a welcome gift?

Shyamal: first of all one has to own a royal enfield, also the person has to do 2 official club rides(over night rides), and then the rider has cleared his exams.now comes the graduation when he has to come for a club meet where the new boi meets the bad boiz.

That’s when the official ritual of ragging session starts, this ragging session may vary from club meets to club rides to people and their appearance, to the way they talk ,walk any crazy thing possible. So that’s when the giggling factor binds the biker bois.Never till date has any thumper being personally offended on any ragging session. So Its a ritual and a trend that’s has eventually grown up as the club grew.

Zazo: The general physcology among the bike riders is that if you are not physically BIG than Bullet is not your cup of tea, how much you agree on this? and what is that one particular thing which makes Bullet riders different from other bikers?

Shyamal: bada hai to behtar hai does not fit every where, now i have heard many people saying saala I am so short for a bullet and it will not suit me, that’s utter bullshit. i would say, do u own a bullet for its looks?? or do you own a bullet to RIDE? This is the thin line I was talking about where people misunderstand it as a fashion thingee and some like us love it for what it is(i.e. basically riding)

So I love a bullet coz I LOVE TO RIDE and not coz it looks good or not coz how fast it goes or not coz its 350cc or 500 cc. thats where we Inddiethumpers leave the crowd behind and spit our huge fat attitude on the chindi bikers loitering around. And it would be so nice to see a biker culture spreading across due to the love of RIDING and not just for some good looking bikes. Posers saala!!

Dikhave pe mat jao apni akal lagake apni G**D khujaao.

Zazo: Shyamal share some incidents from your life, how many time you experienced accidents? and which was the first bike you ever ride and in what age?

Shyamal: so many great incidents in life and some sad ones, this is what i would called accidents. Road is Life and Life is Road. If you looks at it both have so many simillarities, each one teaches u so many things. Life teaches u so many things and so does road.

I have learnt from from every bike fall of mine and not all of them are scary but some of them are damn funny too.(I have had only 4 as of yet)

My First accident was on my way RM06(Chennai), it was a crazy left turn and there was a 18 wheeler container truck i was over taking it and suddenly a bus appeared from the other end, i braked in and by gods grace the bus didn’t touch me but the container did slightly. I fell and was lucky that neither did the container tyres touch me any where(or else I would have been handicapped by now). As soon as I feel the thumpers stopped for me asked me if all was ok, nothing serious, and saale kamine log started to sing "accident ho gaya rabba rabba", i was in pain and they were laughing at how shit scared i was, i was really scared at first but then laughed it out coz my family made me ease the pain and the fright away. No wonder it was one of the memory which will be embedded in my head for ever and again it made me learn many new things about the road. It was my first learning lesson.

my first bike was a Yamaha RX100, obviously i was a teenager back then, It was a crazy looking bike and during those days i wasnt a rider but was crazy about the sound of this bike. I was 14 and my brother used to flaunt his bike, i too used to get in the grove but couldn’t do much. i was a big show off during college days and used to be the weirdest chink in town. Weirdest boi with a weird bike!!

Zazo: How often Inddiethumpers do party and night outs? Which is the gang's favorite hang out.

Shyamal: Well Inddiethumpers party at any given time and we all just need a reason to party, But the official ones are all the more dhamaal then the unofficial ones.The reason being simple, coz the official parties are our rides and the mother of all the parties is our anniversary party. (Hey BTW we dont drink and ride, but we party hard once we PARK)

Every year 5th December is the day when each and every Inddiethumper and the rest of the bullet clubs in India know that the fattest of all, maddest of all, wackiest of all parties is celebrated by the Craziest club in India. Now there are lot of added advantages, coz December is the month of Christmas and new year party too, so every body is already in the party mood since the start of the month.

So all of us make sure we leave all our engagements behind coz we know that December month is going to the busiest time for us, coz every one will be busy PARTYING!! hahahah. Fav hangout place mine would be Pop Tates and Totoz Bandra and obviously Carter Road. Thats where our club was born

Zazo: What are the other activities Inddiethumpers are involved in? I saw you have dedicated websites and forums, any other activities or plans for future? How you look your position as a wing leader..are you going to continue with this position as much as you wish?

Shyamal: there are lots of future plans for our club, which includes many more and big ideas on riding perspective. how ever we are some responsible Bombaites so would do something to avoid public awareness, coz of the simple reason ke hum koi yahan pe dukaan khol ke nahi baithe hai, so those of them who are thumpers yes we will have many more plans coming in short, to have the rider grow in the young boiz and not just some chindithumper.

We do organize tech sessions, where tech volunteers from our club meet and and teach the rest about some basic things like a tyre change, cables changing and few more things which might help us on long rides.Also we make them aware of how to ride in a specific pattern if there is lot of traffic on the road.

On any given ride, we have some one leading the pack, one or more tailing the pack, and few winging the pack. Now it might sound a bit funny but yes we do it and it works.I guess u must have understood by the names it self. Now its some thing like this, the heading guys heads the trail, the one tailing the pack has to sweep the pack, the wingmans have to do the shepard dog work, boleto make sure all are riding safe and not doing some stupid stunts, if i see any stunt man on the ride uski to vaat lag jaayegee.

So we are not allocated these positions, but its just observed that we folks are comfortable at these positions and we volunteer to take care of the new boiz on the big ride.So thats how we plan and manage our ride and most of all RIDE SAFE

yes we do have our site and its managed by Rajiv our Mod.Also this is a very important factor to keep in touch and have announcements made, so thats one of the main reason we have the site and usefull tips be posted too.

Zazo: Some more questions about you,
Which is your dream bike?
What is your profession?
and Which car you own?

Shyamal: My dream bike would be non other then what daman own, Its a triumph rocket 3 . I work as a network admin in Cap Gemini Vikroli Bombay. Car?? no i dont own a car. May be coz riding is an adventure to get off as an addiction, but driving is another adventure which i will some day get addicted to.

Zazo: Where you see yourself in next 10years? In inddiethumper?

Shyamal: In the next 10 years i will be most probably the wierdest old chink in the club, where as i am now the wierdest chink in Inddiethumpers, So wont be anything different, but yes new riders, i would love to see the new boiz having the correct attitude towards riding and grow up as a matured rider as i did learn from my family.

It will be a dream come true to see Inddiethumpers grown up big just as its right now .Big not by numbers but my versatility!!

Zazo: Shyamal, thank you very much for making this interview rocking and wonderful same as you are, I am completely impressed by your real biker attitude and way of life like King Size.
Thanks a lot for all the days and time you were talking to me and replying my all answers by taking many "sutta" breaks, wish a bright future for Inddiethumpers.
Regards,
zazo.

Shyamal: Thanx Zaz!!

the pleasure was all mine!! Cheers bro!

An interview of Sneakerologist

This Guy whom i recently interviwed on my community Orkut's Hall of Fame is among some craziest creature in the world who is full of passion, knowledge and confidence in himself and his love for sneakers, He is popular among sneaker crazy communities as a Sneakerologist and its fact too. I never came across such a super sneaker man who knows deep deep about sneakers and only sneakers. I am sure that every one who will read this interview will surely get impressed and may be shock by his answers to me.
Well if you don't believe in me than read out yourself.

INTERVIEW OF SNEAKEROLOGIST



Zazo: Everyone on orkut who has passion and craze for sneakers must be knowing Sneakerologist, he is highly active and respected in communities dedicated to Converse, Adidas, Reebok, Nike, Puma and recently he has started his own review web site www.solereview.com


Sneakerologist is caught by me on Hall of Fame ! and I am going to ask many questions to know more about this sneaker crazy guy.

Welcome Sneakerologist!

Sneakerologist: Thank you, Zazo. It is a privilege.

Zazo: Please tell us about your family and background i think many of your friends and fans still dont know much about you.

Sneakerologist: Ah Zazo, this is a tricky one. I would be unable to divulge any personal information about myself for reasons I'll keep to myself, but I can shed some light on my background and how I became a "sneakerologist", of all things.
I have been interested in Sneakers aka athletic footwear or sports shoes as long as I can remember. Even when I was in eight standard, I started noticing how different and beautiful a typical pair of sports shoe was as compared to a normal black and brown shoe. Of course, there was no way I could afford a pair at that time, so the first pair of sneakers I bought with my pocket money were actually Adidas fakes. But that was my first and last pair of fakes sneakers, and I have stuck to the original stuff since. As the years went buy, I got my first pair of Reeboks and then added a Puma to my collection. And all through the years, I kept track of the sneakers brands in India and the different shoes they launched through the years, although I could not afford them. I am glad I did keep track since all that knowledge is coming to use while writing my shoe reviews. I also read a lot of books on shoes and fashion which keeps my knowledge updated.
I joined Orkut last year and quickly joined many sneaker communities where I became the self proclaimed "Sneakerologist". Of course, I was ridiculed initially but when I started answering the queries in the best way I could (on communities and my scrapbook), I managed to make many friends on Orkut. Overwhelmed by the interest level of sneaker/Sports shoe fans in India, I decided that I must create a resource specifically for India where people can know more about athletic footwear and sneakers. I applied my amateur photography and writing skills, combined with learnings from my Orkut experience to create India's first sneaker community, www.solereview.com
Apart from being the "Sneakerologist", I work a regular 9-5 job in a typical Indian company, and a part of my salary and savings funds my website.

Zazo: Do you own any communities on orkut? Are you active in any other social networking site?

Sneakerologist: Yes Zazo, I own the following communties:

Nike (5000+ members)
EA Sports (3000+ members)
Adidas (1000+ members)
Nike (846 members)
Converse (380 members)

I also moderate quite a few sneaker communities and keep them free of spam and also answer questions from time to time:

Adidas shoes (41000+ members)
Adidas Superstar (7000+ members)
Reebok (14000+ members)
rBK-"I AM WHAT I AM" (9000+ members)
Converse - A statement (1200+ members)

There are a few other sneaker communties apart from these, but these are the major ones.

Zazo: Tell us about your interests and passion other than sneakers, i think people are more interested in knowing that what sneakerologist likes other than sneakers?

Sneakerologist: I like reading a lot, landscape and macro photography, travelling, researching what's new on the internet, gadgets and technology, aircrafts and automobiles, watching movies and playing sports, including hitting the gym, to name a few.

Zazo: This is the question i was dreaming to ask you since i know you. which is your favourite, most HOT and high technology sneaker ? and how many you own? any new collection in recent days?

Sneakerologist: That's a tough one - the Adidas a1 (intelligent shoe) is the most high tech shoe available in the market today, but it's not my favorite.
One shoe which I dream to possess is the Nike shoe which featured in Steven Spielberg's movie "Back to the future II"...I have a picture of that shoe in my Orkut album and I hope Nike launches it someday with all the features which the shoe had in the movies.

http://www.orkut.com/AlbumZoom.aspx?uid=9081490438101130142&pid=1&aid=1

Out of my current collection, it's tough to play favorites, but I would put my Graffiti Chuck Taylors, Adidas Superstars and the Nike AF1 as the shoes I like most. I keep buying shoes for my reviews, so I have plenty of new ones. But I will ultimately end up giving them away to members of my website, www.solereview.com.
But as of now, I own close to 60 sneakers of different types, from recent to rare.

Zazo: What are future plans for solereview.com, What are the features of your site and how many members are there right now?

Sneakerologist: I created www.solereview.com because there is simply no resource in India which tells you how good or bad the shoes from big sneaker brands were. Store salesmen in India have very little knowledge of what they're selling, and I do not blame them for that, since they are not trained properly.
Solereview's purpose is to review the latest shoes available in India with an unprecendented level of detail so that people know what they should expect from that shoe. Right now, there are 20 reviews on the website, all accompanied by very detailed writeup, history and photography. I would keep on adding reviews each month, and by the end of this year, we should have close to 60 reviews or more.
Apart from the shoe reviews, www.solereview.com has a full scale bulletin board (forum), high resolution images of shoes which I have reviewed (wallpapers) and a collection of Youtube videos on sneaker brands and athletes. Many of the questions on Orkut are about "where to buy" types, so I have compiled the addresses of all the Adidas, Nike, Reebok,Puma and Converse stores under the section "store locator". Since there is no company supporting me at this point of time, my list might not be complete, but I have tried my best.
In the future, I hope to get support from sneaker brands who can provide the shoes for reviews and give me updated information on sales, store openings and events in India.
Currently there are 51 registered members but since the website's launch last month,I am getting around 40 unique visitors everyday, which is pretty decent.

Zazo: After sole review do you think your activity in orkut went down? Do you have any appointed staff for solereview? Who is the another best person on orkut knows so much about sneakers?

Sneakerologist: On the contrary, I am more active on Orkut now after solereview. I have no staff and I do everything, right from managing the website on a technical front to buying the shoes and reviewing/photographing them myself. It is tough...
So far, I haven't come across anybody on Orkut who is as crazy as I am - yet.

Zazo: In India most of the population is middle class and generally not yet ready to afford the sneakers which are of high cost and because of the typical social life style, how much you are expecting the craze and fashion of sneakers to grow in coming years? or I am wrong?

Sneakerologist: Great question, Zazo. Sneaker and sports shoe sales in India are nowhere close to developed countries and one of the reasons, as you have rightly pointed out, is the population profile. It is true that the average Indian has to work many more hours than his counterpart in a developed nation to be able to afford a pair of say, Adidas or Nike shoes. The high rate of import duty also pushes up the price of the average sports shoe. During my travel overseas, I noticed that the price of an Adidas or Nike shoe in India is 40~60% higher than the US or Singapore. These factors are certainly hinderances to the growth of the sneaker industry. This is the reason why brands like Converse are so popular in India - they're inexpensive, fashionable and easily available.
Having said that, I would like to point out that things are changing slowly. A big change is the how the standard of living has gone up as far as the Indian middle class is concerned. A good example of this is how the growth of industries like BPO, IT has fueled the rise of disposable income. A high number of the working young with more than average salaries, combined with fashion awareness which comes from the media has been nothing but good for the sales of athletic footwear. Price does not seem to be an obstacle for these people - I have seen people of on a salary of 15000 carrying a cellphone of the same price. No rationale to it, but that's how it is.
Besides, a lot of people are now into personal fitness, so I see a lot of people in the gyms wearing branded sneakers who know the value of quality footwear when it comes to their workouts and runs.
In the future, one big thing which can push the sales of athletic footwear is the drop in the import duty. If you have been tracking the cell phone industry closely over the years, you'll know exactly what I mean. Cell phone is now within the common man's reach, just because the cellphones cost Rs. 2000 instead of Rs.20000 and the call rates have dropped from Rs. 16.80/min to 50p/min.

Zazo: By your experience and knowledge which Indian sneaker's brand can really compete with there western and European rivals? Do you have any Indian brand sneakers?

Sneakerologist: I do not think that there is any Indian brand which can compete with western or European brands. The biggest reason behind that is the lack of creativity in the Indian footwear industry. Most of the designs sold by Indian brands are nothing but imitation of shoes the Indian 'designers' see at trade shows in Frankfurt or Milan and as far as sports shoes are concerned, they also seem to take a lot of Bappi Lahiri style 'inspiration' from Adidas, Reebok or Nike...
Also, in my opinion, Indian sports shoe manufacturing is still in its infancy, so that does not help either.
But things should change in the next seven or eight years, when we should see an emergence of Indian sneaker brands. For now, I would say that brands like ID, Lee Cooper are not doing a bad job at all in black and brown sneakers.
And I do not own any sneakers by Indian brands at this point of time.

Zazo: What you were if not Snearkerologist?

Sneakerologist: Interesting one, Zazo. I think I would have been a 'foodologist' (chef) or 'Aircraftologist' (Pilot)...:)
Best,
Sneakerologist

Zazo: Thank you so much Sneakerologist for giving your precious time and contribution to make this interview so great and informative, i learned a lot and hope our readers will also get benefit.
All the best for Solereview.com and future projects!

Sneakerologist: The pleasure was mine, Zazo. I truly believe that "Orkut's Hall of fame" is one of the most interesting communities I've come across in a while - great job, and wish you good luck for whatever else you do in the future.

Anikit, Owner of some most beautiful communities on orkut


Ankit Gupta is among some most popular and active orkut members, Ankit has a big contribution in providing a clean and healthy communities with more than 400,000 members moreover ankit is kind hearted and intelligent young man who always interested in doing new things for gaining knowledge. This interview of Ankit will put more light on his life, thoughts and about his activities in popular social networking site orkut.com.


INTERVIEW:


Zazo: Ankit Gupta is a management student in his final year, willing to become an entrepreneur this young man is also very popular in orkut, owning 7 beautiful and big communities with more than 400,000 members all over Ankit is rocking the orkut by providing a place for entertainment and learning.
Ankit is going to reveal the secret of his success in community owning and about his life.

Welcome Ankit, it’s a pleasure to have you here on Orkut's Hall of Fame.

Ankit: Thanks a lot zazo for the great honor though I don’t deserve it and their are many more people on orkut who have their success stories to share.

And yeah as such there is no secret for success in life coz am not yet successful :P

& regarding communities I own 7 communities but I aren’t a community master or anything like that

My only aim was to set a new record for creating fastest community ever on orkut and I think I was able to make it somehow though more than 90% of the people still don’t know whose the owner of that community :P

Zazo: Ankit pls tell us little about yourself, your background.

Ankit: Regarding my family and background I may be not rich by wealth but been blessed with everything a person wants in life, i.e. ocean hearted lovable parents :-)

Though I have hundreds and thousands of friends in school, college, locality and orkut off course but still I like being alone and I spend my most of the time in learning something or the other and teaching others what all I know and helping everyone in any sort of troubles is one of my passions as I believe in giving away to my maximum rather than expecting :-)

Whenever I am very happy or very sad i write poetry and reknowned as "shayar badnaam" everywhere :P for pissing off people with my poetry :D

I think my about me will be going a long way like this, so in short - I love being alone keeping my status single forever, one of the tallest guys around, 100% non-violent & calm till i am forced for being violent, have only one desire in life to see my family happy always and have no such desires(likes, dislikes or hobbies), hates abusive language, and its never ending about me of mine :P

Zazo: How you manage to handle such big communities at one time? Since when you are on orkut?

Ankit: As you can see most of them are moderated and have lots of moderators to manage,
I just keep a check on them regularly by checking out the forums once a day and deleting all irrelevant threads and banning unwanted members :P

I joined orkut around 11 months back but wasn’t much active as I didn’t even knew how to use it properly

I learnt how to post in a community in September and created my own first community and then was a bit regular user :-)

Zazo: Above all which is your favorite community of your own? where you like to hang out most of the time?

Ankit: My first and favorite community :-)

http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=38729441

The name of the community is "sweetest people round da globe" and really the people there are pretty sweet :-)

Zazo: What are your other online activities when u are not logged in orkut? Do you surf any other social networking sites?

Ankit: Other than orkuting I keep trying new innovative things and rite now i am working on my chain of websites that I will be launching 1 by 1 in next couple of months.


I think I spend enough time on orkut already so there is no need of spending more time on any other social networking site: P

Zazo: What will be the aim of your upcoming web projects? Any target?

Ankit: Every site will be different from the other and all meant for helping others in making their life on internet beautiful


Main purpose for creating them is to learn but not to earn :-)

Zazo: Most of your communities are built on the Entertainment theme, how you do it successfully other than starting forum games? any events etc?

Ankit: I think everyone seeks fun in communities and communities are meant for members only

I haven’t created any threads in any of my communities rather than in the first one :-)

Members themselves create the threads they want and if they aren’t violating any of the rules of the community they grow else they are deleted :-)

Zazo: Are you planning to start any other community shortly? If yes what will be the theme?

Ankit: As already said I don't wish to be a community master and most of the communities were only meant to set a record on orkut that I think I have already done so no need of creating any new community :-).

earlier record set which I knew was 70k members in 2 days
and mine was 132k in 28hrs :-)

Zazo: Ever experienced the deletion of communities? How much you take security measures for not got gets hacked?

Ankit: Before clicking any link from orkut I check its source code, before using any other pc or any software I check if its safe from key loggers :-)



I didn’t experience deletion of community but orkut keeps deleting my profile :-)

even the profile I am using here got deleted twice and I got it restored later, and my communities were ownerless

I got other 7 of my communities back but 8th one is with some other guy whose not willing to give it back but I will get it back within next week :-)

Zazo: Any best or bad experience with your community members or member? being in touch with so many people surely gave u a popularity, how do you feel it?

Ankit: yeah had a bad experience once while a poll was going on in my first community when it had 100-150 members only

fakes weren’t allowed and the person along with his 2-3 friends were using fakes so i disqualified that person from the poll so they started abusing me in the comments of the poll so I made the community moderated and I banned those guys

everything was relaxed in couple of minutes but after an hour or so a friend of mine told me that they have created many threads abusing me in my community only so i made him the moderator & with his help we both deleted all those threads and banned all those fakes who voted and commented for that guy

another one was on my birthday when my this profile was deleted at 12am just when my b’day got over and all my communities were ownerless. lolz

then i created a new profile for holding ownership for the communities & after a few dayz only that profile was deleted too by orkut. lolz

i got 7/8 communities back but one is with some kid and I am letting him enjoy it for few more days :-)

regarding good experiences I had many good experiences as I got 1000's of friends there who are really close to me now and even I met few of them and in touch with many on phone :-)

Zazo: If Ankit gupta is not online than where he is?

Ankit: that’s pretty tough question :P

but the answer is a simple one though :D

1.) Either waiting for the electricity to come :O
2.) Or sleeping on the chair sitting on which I access my PC :P

Zazo: Your other interest than being on computer and internet?

Ankit: As I told u earlier I love pissing off people with my poetries though all got deleted when orkut deleted my profile and I didn’t have their backups too :-(

I love sorting out everyone's all sorts of prob's in the best way that I can :-)

I am a good bathroom singer too (Disclosing for the first time) :P

And i just want to be a noob always and keep learning from any and everything :-)

Zazo: Where Ankit gupta will be after 10 years?

Ankit: You trapped me rite way at the wrong point :P

Lie - I don't know :P
Being modest - Let the destiny decide :O
Being honest - Among top 1000 industrialists on the globe :-)

Zazo: All the best for future Ankit and thanks a lot for giving your precious time over here. It was a wonderful talk with you.
Thanks again. :)

Ankit: It was completely my pleasure :-)

Thanks to you for considering me eligible for the great hall of fame :-)
