Its history is actually a lil zonky .. err. weird..err.. pagal I say

I never had a shortage of people in my life asking me one perennial question ... which was in the most exact words .. " pagal hai kya! ? " Damn.. I've heard that hundreds of times and grinned goofy over it .. Lekin had no intention of picking up pagalguy as a nickname..

Then I guess 2 years ago I wanted to get a domain name for myself.. and the first choice was Maverick. For a long while I used the nickname of "Maverick" .. that nick is the 1st "member" of the forum .. err.. so thats me too..

Lekin maverick.com wasn't available .. so after listening to the usual.. "pagal hai kya" routine ... .. I decided to check up on pagalguy.com .. Voila .. it was available.. THUNK over it for a couple of days.. and then decided to spend the money for getting the domain name. Initially used it exclusively for emails ... and then the forum happened.. Forum banaya and no place to put it.. So published it onto the pagalguy.com domain ..

Phir toh rest is history... Very few know me as allwin now .. Its PG all the way.. Never thought it'd attach to my name this way

Oh.. you love the forum dontcha..so the nick sounds great now .. If I didn't have the forum.. you'd ask me the perennial question.. "Pagal Hai kya"
