Arijit’s Profile

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

(The old ‘About Me’. New one coming soon. Patience, mates)

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

Meet me. I’m Arijit. I’m a 22-year-old guy and I live in India.

Professional: I’m an engineer fresh out of college, and new at work. I got my first job (the one I’m currently on) during our placement season thanks to a bit of hard work and a lot of good luck, and I’m thankful my employers chose me. I like it here, and though I do miss being a student,  it’d be fair enough to say I’m satisfied the way I am.

Parents: As is normal for most kids in India, my parents have had a substantial influence in my life. They’ve assisted me in academics, given me my values, and molded my personality. I proudly state that I am what I am because of them. To me, they’ve been the best parents in the world.

Music: I inherited my love and passion for music from my parents. Mom has one of the most beautiful singing voices I’ve ever heard, and Dad, well, he’s not a great singer but loves music nevertheless. Before college, I was primarily exposed to Indian classical and Tagore’s music. Then in college I came in contact with Rock. And Metal, Alternative, Progressive, Grunge, Punk, Psychedelic and Hip-Hop. No matter what the genre is, I love all of it.

Soccer: I love the game, primarily because it is so dynamic and exciting. If I’m home and there’s a big match, I never miss it. I’m a supporter of the clubs Manchester United and Barcelona. You can read more about this here.

Contact: You can email me at themaverickspeaks@gmail.com or add me on Google Talk with the same ID.
