About
I am Aditya Shevade. Born on the 23rd of March 2003 (yeah… the same date India lost a World Cup to Australia… I support Australia by the way… cannot resist) 1989. Anyways, Aditya means Sun in Sanskrit (I hate Sanskrit). Apart from this name, I have many petnames which I do not wish to disclose here.
Exactly Who?
You already know my name. I have just uploaded my photo (20th November, 2007). So I don’t think you might have trouble identifying me if you see me roaming around. Still as an additional info, I am 190cm tall and I look attractive (again… take a look at the photo
). Yeah, one more thing is that, according to everyone I know, I walk a little too fast (must be the height).
What are my interests in Computers?
Looking at this site/blog, you might have guessed that I am a computer freak (or at least that is what my friends call me). I simply love to spend time with computer, trying to make my life enjoyable in the process. I like programming with C/C++. I am also a hardcore Linux fan.
Future Plans?
Hmm… This is a question whose answer I am yet to find. I mean, I have made some plans. But not one hard and fast way. (I guess whatever I have thought is better). I have decided two ways but I am not sure which one to follow. First way is doing MS and second is doing MBA, once I finish my BE. But right now…. I am busy in submissions most of the time.
What made me move away from the exotic world of computer games?
It’s a very long story (about 8 years old). In a short way, I had a 286 with DOS for 2 years. Then I had Win ‘98 for 4 years. Then I made the switch to XP and used it for about a year and half. I used to play games then. But the computer I had had only 32MB RAM. All the things combined together had an effect on me where I lost my interest in games. And when I got my first laptop, I had gone to Linux from M$ Windows. And as I said, by that time, my interests were changed and I was more bent towards programming and the rest of the stuff I have mentioned.
OK.. that was for games, but what made me turn so Geeky?
That would be my parents fault (for which I am very glad). They bought me a computer when I was 10. It was a 286. And having had a computer for so long and with my father also loving programming & studying on a computer, I guess I turned out like what I am today.
Is there anything I do apart from Computer stuff?
I am currently doing my engineering, third year in Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli. (My hometown).
I love to talk, I love to be friends with people who share at least one of my virtues. (eg :- Laziness, Getting up late, hating studies, etc….
)
Apart from computers, my favorite thing is music. I love to listen to Ricky Martin, Kenny G. I also like many Marathi and a few Hindi songs. I also play a musical keyboard. I have a Yamaha PSR-E403. Whenever I get free time from computer, I play it.
Plus, I am fan of reading. My most favorite book to date is The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. I like many books. It is impossible to list them all here. My other hobbies include, collecting postage stamps. I have about 3000 of them, both Indian and foreign. I also collect old Indian and current foreign currency. And I like to play chess. I have even won an award at school level, and have played district level chess (but did not win… lost my spot in the states by 0.5 points).
Well….. That’s me. If you still have any questions to ask… shoot.
