ABOUT ME

INTRODUCTION:
Bonjour fellas!!...Well to get started my name is "Ankit Kapoor" and believe me pronouncing that is not the cup of tea for many,though im more popular as "Cooper" among friends,so be my guest;).

BACKGROUND:
Born in Kisumu(Kenya) and raised in the small town of Webuye(Kenya) which makes me the alien citizen of Kenya with the Indian origin.I was then sent to India to a boarding school in my 5th grade for a good education prospect and adoption of my original culture.Every acedemic step grew with a new location and so did i;five awesome years i spent in this boarding school which was situated in the calm and soothing environment of a hill station called Panchgani followed by a couple more in the hustle bustle of Mumbai(Bombay) before i hit another four in Pune which is calm but on the faster side..and ive definitely adjusted,adapted and ofcourse enjoyed every single bit offered to me!!

PERSONALITY:
As a person im witty,optimistic(...my glass is always full),totally humourous(if you end up not laughing at my "hitters"-yes thts wht i call 'em you'll have an iq level less than an 80),adventurous,daring{...can spend a night in the worlds most haunted place if ur givin me a company;)},nature lover,animal lover(so what if im omnivorous),stupid at times-that's because stupidity sells,tech savvy,a movie buff(...can complete a movie marathon even if they make no sense at all..actually i somehow manage to find humour in them;)),art appreciator as well as creator,a traveller(you must have noticed that),extremely adjustable-yes in any god damn condition.Thats me.

PHILOSOPHY

-"when was the last time you did something for the first time?"
-"What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road."
