- About Me
- my name's abhi and i've lived all over the world - some of my fav cities are -
1. Montreal (a beautiful city, beautiful women too).
2. Vancouver (1.25 years - love it, although I missed london girls terribly)
3. Minneapolis (a week - friendliest people ever)
4. Orlando (9 months)
5. Vegas (12 days)
6. Rochester ( multiple times)
7. Seattle (4 years)
8. Rapid city, sd (a weekend + best hosts ever)
9. Delhi (11 years - mostly great)
10. London (1 year - definitely visit or live for half a year, my favorite city)
11. Somewhere in nepal where pigs walk on the street (3 months - they have the best coca cola ever)
12. Nainital (india nepal border) - 5 years. amazing place - lots of rain, cold, sorta like london + seattle + vancouver.
13. Nashik (near bombay) - great weather. rains a lot (seems to be a pattern) + loads of sunshine. best grapes. my first best friend. my first good friend who was a girl.
i've loved books since i was a child and the amount i read varies from multiple books a week to spells of weeks without books.
i just moved to vancouver, and its great because people say hi on the street, and all the trees are changing colour and leaves are falling. it also rains a lot. if i hadn't lived in seattle and london immediately before this i might have been affected by it.
if you're into sports, i play soccer and support arsenal, the mariners, pacers, and timberwolves (now boston because of KG).
