Countdown… 5…4…3…2…1.. !!

And it began ! First of all, a big Hi to everyone out there.

Hi guys. My name is Abhishek ( Shekki). This first post by me is supposed to be an Introduction of myself, so here I’m. This is Me !. Mostly harmless, a Wiki freak, Quizzically Insane and an emotional fool. Life took a topsy turvy ride ending up me taking Law. A Firm believer of God and a disbeliever in LUCK. Moreover, a huge fan of Karna.(fan.. ??)

Pretty content with my life as it is, I love great food, great clothes. Like watching Movies but not too much into it.

I have some very good friends to cherish the lovely moments of life. Even being more on the extrovert side, you’ll sometime(maybe most of the time) find me very talkative , sitting for hours without shutting my mouth , up to a level of boredom.

I hope everyone in the blogosphere will like my blog, and moreover, please give your honest comments so that i could improve it. Thank you all..

Au Revoir !
