What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

One day a 10-year-old Indian boy walked into my apartment and asked for a comb. I said I only had a hairbrush, and asked if that would be ok. He said yes. When he finished combing his hair I asked if he'd like to blow bubbles with me, and he said yes. We spent the day on my balcony, trying to blow the biggest bubbles we could (using string, straw, a potato masher), while he told me about his schoolmates and bragged about his grades. He'd come for his sister's wedding, and he was gone the next day.

Anshuman means sun.
