* I built a distributed search engine for my final year college project, when my teachers and friends told me I was taking on too much. It survived two project mates walking out, and some rather dumb ones pushed in. I got a 97 for it, and consider it THE accomplishment of my college years.
* Wrote an indexing program in C that crashed a Netware network. :P
* I've read the Bhagwad Gita, the Koran, the Bible and the Tao Teh Ching. I am still an atheist.
* I've written a complete IM module at work when drunk. Oddly, this has been considered one of my better contributions to the project in that company.
* I've completed reading five Asimov novels in the course of a single day.
* I am an Indian, yet can't speak any Hindi. I have lived in the Gulf, yet can't speak any Arabic. My folks speak Konkani at home, yet I cannot speak that either. Dad knows Portuguese, yet I somehow never picked it up from him. Strangely though, I can speak French, Japanese, Quenyan and am on my way to studying Sanskrit.

- FraaJad 17y agoSpeaking Hindi is not a necessary condition for one to be considered Indian. Tao te ching is not a religious book.
- jaxn 17y agoI disagree about the Tao Te Ching not being a religious book. It is the primary book of Taoism. "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao" That is a paraphrase from memory of the opening of the book. Which seems to me a lot like the Jewish refusal to speak the formal name for God because it is too holy and they couldn't speak it truthfully.
- FraaJad 17y agoI've read the whole book(not saying that you haven't ;) and haven't found any references to Tao being a "God". Tao is a Way of Life, analogous to the concept of Dharma in Hinduism, Buddhism and other Indian religions.
