01. Pilot

Hi ! My name is Sameer Khanna and I'm a 30yr old "BOY" living in Tahiti,Frech Polynesia .I grew up in India and lived my Indian dream (which is to dream of living the american dream) for the first 25 yrs of my life and then after hopping a lot of continents I landed up here in Tahiti !

Three years back I used to work as a managemant consultant at Lehman Bros , but I left that job to pursue my childhhod dream of writing . Ok fine, that was a lot of crap.... the real reason is that i was caught sleeping with Mrs.Lehman , and they fired me . The only thing i've always been good at is doing nothing , you see that's how I became a consutant. But now with that out of the window, the only thing I could do was writing .

I started writing about girls , u know about how dumb they are and stuff like that ; but then after two assassination attempts by female activists and after being banned in 23 countries , I decided to write on less interesting topics .

This piece of " literature " is about a phase in my life . I believe that Life can be divided into many phases and no phase is less or more important than the other . Each phase has got its own feel and Life is all about getting the feel of this feeling ... I'm not sure myself of what i just said , but anyway this is all about my undergrad days , that seemed to be the longest 4 years of my life .

If u are a boy , who loves cars and computers ; has an inclination towards science and if discovery channel had always been ur favorite channel after Cartoon network , then there is nothing else you would want to become , but an engineer .....And thats where one makes the mistake . In India if u r not in IIT then u r better off not doing engineering, even if that is wat u want to do . I dont remember using any of the engineering principles that I was supposed to learn in those 4 yrs , but all the non-engineering stuff that I learnt thru experience in college gave me a whole new perspective of looking at life .

Experience it with me vicariously as I try to relive it !!
