Hi everyone,
My real name is Varun and I am a 24 year old from Delhi, currently in Pune ,but shifting in about a week's time to Mumbai (all 3 are cities in India). My first brush with computers was at the age of 7 ,when my dad brought one home. I think that was an .......hmmm XT....can't recall .Anyways all that i was allowed to do on it ,was to, once in a blue moon ....touch it....
Seriously ,it was such a privileged and important piece of hardware that i had to literally beg to use it ,of course all that i used to do was ,play my favourite pac-man game.
I got involved a lil more with computers at the age of 12 when , i started off with a lil bit of BASIC ( I do know lil bit of C and Perl) and at that point of time itself i knew that i cannot program , not that my logic isn't good , but simply coz ......i don like doing it .
At 18 , i got introduced to the internet ,but at that time ,its usage in INDIA was really expensive, to add to the soaring phone bills...
My real interest arose in networking during my engineering ( How i wish i had taken up computers )....So i went ahead , and am now on the verge of completing my Masters in it .I am joining an Information Security Firm next week and am really really looking forward to it.
I am an avid sports freak... i swear by cricket ,hardly ever miss a game and if its in the city ,watch it at the stadium.Besides that ,i play soccer,table tennis,tennis,volleyball and hockey on roller skates. Used to have an expensive pair ( Ones with the coloured wheels and shoes attached to them ). Am also a senior brown belt in the shito ryu form of Karate.
Other than this , i sometimes like to work out at the local Gym as well.I guess thats it bout me and i just realised ,that this is my biggest post ever.
