My name is NEBULOUS...

DICTIONARY.com defines me as

adj.
1. Cloudy, misty, or hazy.
2. Lacking definite form or limits; vague: nebulous assurances of future cooperation.
3. Of, relating to, or characteristic of a nebula.
My 4th dimension
- A person filled with energy enough to become a Star.

I am a chemical engineer by profession, a manager in pursuit, never-give-up by attitude, a motivator by nature, a quizzer, quiz master, sports person, amateur cook and gamer by choice.

My life revolves around 5 cities - Sambhal, Gurgaon, Murthal, Jamnagar and Mumbai. Though i've been to many other places yet these are the bookmarks, the tabs, the stations on the mumbai fast local.

Sambhal - My birth place - CHURCHGATE

'twas 26years ago on a stormy night(no this was no janmashtami) that i started troubling people around me first as an infant and later after only 2.5years my teachers in school. Yes, i started going to school at that age(I really don’t know how but my parents say that i would cry TO GO TO SCHOOL) got my first promotion(I directly went on to studying KG) which eventually I ended up doing in 3 different schools at different places ensuring one thing - My basics are strong :)

Gurgaon - My growth story - MUMBAI CENTRAL
Having multi-level foundation, i did a good brickwork in the next 12 years. Schooling days were really the Wonder Years. They had almost everything - stage shows to quizzing competitions to election debates to numerous crushes to bunking classes to flunking tests to video game craze to cricket fights to... well so many things that i would need many more blogs to fill.

Murthal - My switch - DADAR
I wanted to be an army man then a scientist but eventually landed up in an engineering college studying chemical engg. (I have affinity for molecules). The four years were marked by the start of my two passions - Formula-1 (The glorious Michael Schumacher era also fuelled the passion) and Basketball (which i pursued and made it to the corporate team and college team).

Jamnagar - My consolidation - BANDRA

A lucky draw by my recruiters sent me packing to the Indian Mecca of OIL. There i worked upon my career path-moving from engineering to management, my sporting abilities- alongside basketball playing cricket, my habits - from a chain smoker to smoking quitter, my life - from single to a possible double. Two years in a dry state (Gujrat) build my coffers to fund my education and a whole lot of other activities

Mumbai - My journey begins - ANDHERI
This is good vehicle with an excellent crew support and i am getting a feeling that this 1 pit-stop strategy is working in my favour. There were opening few races where I have finished on podium but the season is still far from over and there is still scope for that unexpected shower, or that freak accident or even a rush of adrenalin than can make or break the race. But at the end of the day its the driver in me in that scarlet Ferrari that has to perform under all the situations.

??? - My life - Beyond Andheri
Don’t know what life has in store for me, what stations i'll encounter, which lanes i'll switch but one thing is for sure - I will keep travelling.
