Nitish

My Parents call me Nishu, and I am registered in my death certificate as. . . Oh sorry, in my birth certificate as Nitish Andola. Friends Often Also Call Me as Andy. I hate people who act over smart. I don’t take lot of time to adjust with anybody. It’s my strength rather. I love to live with my friends. I love all those who feel comfortable with me and who make me feel comfortable with them… I always think positive, which have never helped me to achieve anything, but still it has become a habit. I forgive people soon, as I feel this life is too short and we have no time to prove others wrong. I love innovative things. And friends sometime call me as HiFi. I love to be Honest, and one thing I have observed about myself is, I am not a Fan, I believe there is good and bad in everyone and we need to embrace the good. I enjoy the company of people who are FREE. I too love to live freely! I like to interact with nature and am very much interested in adventure sports and fascinated by Astronomy. I respect each and every person on this earth, sometimes even things and like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way I am. I never think badly for anyone...
