People tell me I don't talk enough. I agree. I do tend to keep my mouth shut a lot. So I've decided to start this blog. I'm still not talking, but at least you'll get to know some things that go through my mind.
Coming to the introductions, my name is Abhishek Sinha. But I've got used to people not calling me that. At home,among my childhood friends and my relatives I go by Sonu, and among my school friends, its Choino. How that name came about is a long story. I need to thank two of my friends Bikram and Abhinaba for that. It started with chinese, because I had small eyes,emphasis on has, they've opened up now, despite what others might tell you (:-p), and finally, after many alterations, they decided that Choino has a nice ring to it. And boy oh boy(!) did that name stick. They still call me that. Nowadays, I'd find it weird if they suddenly started calling me by my real name! In a way its good, it makes me unique. In my part of the world, Abhishek is very very common. All through my life I've had to share a classroom with three or four of my namesakes. So this helps me stand out.
To be honest, the first twenty and a half years of my life have been pleasant, to say the least. I've got most of what I wanted. There were obviously some disappointments, but they were mostly in the relationship department. I've always been slow in expressing my feelings for someone. So they have tended to move on. I don't blame them. Maybe they just got tired of waiting. That apart, its been a breeze really. Without sounding boastful, I've been a decent student throughout. I've been able to pursue an academic career as I had planned it. I'm two weeks into my job now. The training period is ongoing. No complaints so far. I have a nice home, loving parents, and some of the best friends anyone could ever ask for. The part I like best about my friend circle is that we've been close for a long time, without any major falling out. I hope I don't jinx it by saying this, but so far its been awesome(:-) )
There are two things in my life which I've loved more than anything else. The first is Football and the second is Quizzing. I put quizzing second even though it has given me the most memorable day of my life. Me and my friend Arjun represented our school and finished third in the Kolkata(that's the city I live in) qualifying rounds of the ESPN School Quiz,a national level quiz. I will never forget that day.
I put football first because it gives a lot of happiness every weekend. All week every week I wait for the weekend, to watch matches of the team that I support, Liverpool Football Club. I used to play a lot of football as well, but nowadays I don't get the time to play it. I take every opportunity I get though. My love affair with Liverpool dates back to 2001, when they won 5 trophies in a year, the only team at that time to have achieved such a feat. They had a certain Michael Owen in their team, and being a forward myself, he was my idol. So that is already a ten year love affair, and I'm confident it will last a lifetime.
To summarise, yes I'm a bit of an introvert, but I have opened up quite a bit over the past few years. This blog is just a part of who I am. To know me fully is quite an achievement! Stay tuned...
