The Chronicles of a Lonely Samaritan

Tuesday, September 27, 2005

Well, it has come to my notice that some people have started sharing this little corner of my life. So, lets today do some sort of retrospection and look into the instances where I have tried to escape from the monotony of my existence as Harsh and the result have been sometimes in form of the aploplectic firenze, or the amicable bhogle, or as I am today, the maven Headcrab.

Why I am Firenze?
From the time I remember, my friends used to call me by the nick of "horse", first because of the rhyme the word has with my name, and secondly, because of my height which seperated me in a group. I used to get annoyed with me repeatedly being called a "horse".
But my love with the Greek Mythology came to my rescue. I said, ok I am a horse, but I am a human horse, a Centaur, the legendary creature with torso of a man and hind of a horse. I am a sagittarian so it was my sunsign also. I chose the name of firenze, he was the leader of the centaurian army under Zeus and a character in the Potterian lore.
With this name I started playing online games and rest is history. Today firenze has a legend of its own on GameZone with a position amongst top notch amateurs of Gaming World.

Why I am bhogle?
A nick I really like. It was given to me by Bala Sir in IITK seeing my "commentary style" and similar name with Harsha Bhogle while he was my tutor in MATTI course.

Why I am Headcrab?
Just fun intended this time, no serious introspection. I took a character from my favorite Computer Game, Half-Life when I had to use an attractive nick for my CS team. This one I really like.
