Dear All:
Now that I have been on India-Forums for quite some time now, firstly let me tell all of you that its one of the best forums I have ever been in. All you guys are just awesome and I look forward to reading your posts as eagerly as you read my updates!
Secondly, I would like to make a confession / or rather an admission. If you wonder why I rattle on and on about DK, the truth is that I know Ashish on a personal level, hence, whenever I write about DK - The Character, it is actually Ashish who is in my mind and instinctively, I began to potray him in my updates.
Though I have never met Ashish in person, we have spoken to each other a good couple of times over the phone, exchanged some emails and well, we SMS to each other pretty frequently!
Ashish and I have been in touch for now almost 1 month now and I cannot describe in words what a gem of a person he is! He is the most unassuming, grounded and level-headed person I have ever known (or rather spoken to) till date and he has a killer sense of humor....besides he laughs like crazy, its like you just can't get in a word with him once he begans laughing on something!
I was never a die-hard fan of DK in the beginning, but since the day I got in touch with Ashish, my fascination for DK has just been growing and growing, just because, as I said before, it is Ashish the person whom I visualize when I am penning my thoughts on DK.
BTW, Incase any of you want to write in to Ashish, you can mail him at ashishnayyar122@yahoo.co.in. Also it is his 30th Birthday on 12th March, 2005, so please guys, do wish him! Though lemme warn you that he replies to his mails very erratically (he replied to my new year wishes 20 days after I had mailed him!)
Sorry, can't disclose his cell number yet.....believe it or not, he is pathologically shy in nature and its pretty tough to coax out words from him, but once the ice-breaks.....HE JUST ROCKS!
If you want to know more on Ashish, then do let me know, I will post some of his thoughts that he had mailed across to me earlier!
