Thanks TEAM Bhp for the Opportunity! Hello everyone,
I am Projjal Roy AKA fatboyslim, 32 years old.
I am from Assam but was born in West Bengal and brought up in the beautiful state of Meghlaya during formative years-along with a good deal of cross cultural assimilation along the way. My higher education and career aspirations provided me with wonderful opportunities to work, know, imbibe and appreciate the great diversity India has in terms of practically everything!
An avid fan of TEAM bhp for the past 2 years, I had been waiting for the right opportunity to become a member when I was confident that I could add value ot the forum.
A management consultant by profession (not by choice, I always wanted to be professor and teach), automobiles became a lifelong passion since the day I got my hands on the steering wheel of a pre-used Maruti Omni on an isolated, winding and beautiful road in Meghalaya.
I do not purport to know a lot about technical aspects of Automobiles and perhaps one of the selfish reasons (to join TEAM Bhp) is deep dive into technology of drivetrains, transmissions, ICEs etc my passion is primarily based on the sheer pleasure of driving and travelling to far off places. Though I do admit that technical knowledge is essential to make these sojourns as uneventful as possible. Moreover, I DO like a sense of discipline required to be a productive in this forum-which I find a welcome change from other forums. My wife who have been the greatest support of my idiosyncratic and random get-up-and-drive philosophy and also been the prime driver in motivating me to connect with other members at this forum with interest in automobiles.
My hobbies include watching good cinema from across the world and reading interests is varied but I do like reading fiction and non-fiction about wars, conflicts and humor (Pretty polarized)!
My precious steeds were:
2-wheelers: Bajaj Super, Kawasaki KB 100, LML Vespa Select, LML Vespa Select II, Pulsar 180 DTSi-Hope & Pray this list extends to: Yamaha R6 or Yamaha R1 (Long term)
4-Wheelers: Ambassador Mark IV, Maruti Omni, Wagor R LX, Ford Fiesta 1.6 SXi-Hope & Pray this list extends to Tata Safari 2.2 VTT VX 4x4 (Short Term); Do not have a long term on this (too many variables)
Thanks very much once to everyone, I will try my level best to bring value to the forum and looking forward to interacting with all of you!
Best,
Fatboyslim
