My First ever Bike - Hero Cycle / Red color
My first ever cricket bat - "SG" (Not original, but because it was written SG on it and had Sunil Gavaskar's picture plastered on it)
My First Neighborhood Friend - Pintoo Bhagwat. (I never knew his real name. He was always called Pintoo, Pintoos, Pintya, Pintal, Pinti.. anything but his real name)
First girl I spoke to in school - I think her name was Janaki. But I don't remember. I must be in 3rd grade.
First ever Newspaper I read - Nagpur Times.
My first home address- New Ramdaspeth, Nagpur (I still don't know why it was called 'New')
My first school friend - Aditya
My first school Rickshaw wala - 'Parkaas' (Actually he must be Prakash, but that's what he called himself)
My first pencil box - Waterman (It was called Compass Box for some reason). I graduated to the upscale "Camelin" much later
My first "failed" test - Elementary exam for Drawing and Arts / 7th grade. I screwed up royally.
The first ever Television I watched - It was called 'Televista'. At my aunt's place in Mumbai.
The first Hindi movie I watched in theater - Shaan. (At Saroj 'Talkies' Nagpur. The only things I remember is Yamma Yamma and Shakal)
The first English Movie I watched in theater - Superman (Liberty cinema, Nagpur)
The First auto two-wheeler I rode - TVS 50
AND ..
The First time I "mastered my domain" - 8th grade (Check 'master-of-my-own-domain' episode of Seinfeld)
Nice! I remember the "SG" bat; my cousin passed off his worn out one to me...:)
