What are 3 facts about you that not many people know?
- I was given or suggested the name ‘Roshan‘ by a Malayalee nurse, who befriended my mother, at the hospital in which I was born. My parents weren’t sure as to what name to give me and they were looking at names like ‘Sheffin‘ to match my sister’s name, which is ‘Sherine‘. I guess I should thank that nurse. I was almost a Sheffin, yuck!
- I’ve had 3 relationships with 3 different women (at different times). The first is what I would categorize as a school crush. The second is my biggest regret & mistake. The third is my fondest and will remain a secret as she was/is 13 years my senior. :)
- I once attempted to kill myself. I say attempted but I didn’t actually do it. I was ready and I was willing to end my life over some silly thing and I was going through a bout of depression at the time. This was 16 years ago. I wrote a goodbye note and was in tears and went to the roof of my building (no one else was at home and no one saw me) and wanted to jump down. I thought about for a while as I stood there and then common sense prevailed and I came down and then walked on back to my apartment. I felt so silly a day later.
