History
- Breathing since October 24, 1972
- Aware since 1979... my earliest memories are of my Chembur
home with a wild garden in front and myself building mud homes using the
moist soil out there. Others include the annual trip to my native-place in
rural Maharashtra to meet country
cousins and warm grandparents.
- Various names...
curiously all of them begin with B
- Bart (my post-graduate
college nick)
- Bambai (my graduate college
nick)
- Bantoo (my home name...
though on reaching the teens this name has slipped into oblivion)
- Ethnicity (if you must
really know): Singular racial origin from the Leva Patil
Maharashtrian Hindu stock (originally from Gujarat)
