Not too serious: Congratulations, you've reached my page. I'm Gorkey (you already know it), I grew up in Sylhet, Dhaka, Patuakhali, and mostly at Rajshahi and I know I'm awesome. I have completed MSS in Anthropology (oh shit, nerd alert), but I've decided to study religion and become a religious one soon (sweet, right? Bluff!) I love art, music, reading, movies and, sometimes, trying to communicate with the fishes at my aquarium. I'm on here cause I want to meet more cool, witty, cute and wonderful people (like myself!), so if you think you're the right one, hit me up (if you have to ask yourself if you are the right one, then you're not!)

By the way, did you think I would write something bad about me here? :-P Ha ha. I'm trying to find out the real nature of Gorkey; He's really troublesome, much introvert when asked to explain things about him. The study is still going on. Gotta wait for the findings dissemination! Find me at gorkeygourab@yahoo.com or gorkeygourab@hotmail.com.

(A nerd friend gave me this thought, to make about me section, what she calls "witty"!)
