I have always been obsessed with the mythical Phoenix.

I used to mostly go with variations of my name earlier. In 2002 and 2003 I had to take a year off to prepare for all India medical entrance examinations and in that year I cut myself off from most means of communications and entertainment. Thats when I got engrossed in the idea of a Phoenix, the bird of lore and surrounded by myth that gets consumed by fire and rises from its ashes. So here I am 7 years later, a doctor from one of the best medical college this country has. :)

The number next to the "phoenix" is just another variation of my birth date, and many such variations have been employed all over the net by me.

Well, my initial ID was pcgamer, due to my love for PC Gaming and i always identified myself as a pc gamer

Then over time, this became a bit generic and so when the time came, I changed to Spectre
I enjoyed Mass effect to the core and was intrigued by the story and the characters. I liked the name Spectre and it became my ID since then

Well it was long back when I was 13 yrs old, I had registered at some forum and wanted 'amol' as my username. But it was taken and so I added 'cool' just like that. Since then, it has stuck now :)

my pc login id at my first job. a combination of my first name, middle name & last name. a little weird, but unique and hence it helps me to register anywhere online with this name and keep my original email id & my identity concealed.

i wanted to use neo.. bit by the matrix bug... but someone already had it.. also i was pissed with neo dying in matrix 3... so i combined both the fact... my way to protest... :)

NEO MUST DIE

infact many curious people asked my reason for choosing such a name... its more from fun rather than any sadness...

regards
neo
