Apart from Computer skills, what other skills do you have? Be it singing(not bathroom singing), dancing, playing instrument, sports etc..

Its embarrassing situation for me during any kinda events. Many of my friends perform in those events and they ask me what I'd perform? and I'd say I don't have any skills..(of course I don't wanna sound geek by telling them I know little bit of computers) :oops: :D

Wish I has wasted less time on computers and actually learnt something.. :(
Actually I started learning Guitar couple of weeks back. Then someone in this forum mentioned about 'Jquery" about a week back. Now Jquery is in my head and my guitar laying around..:mrgreen: Now, let me find out who that #%!&* was to put jquery in my head :twisted:

why do u care abt that ? What you like will eventually what u learn. So be content with it.
I guess the best skill that suits me is to explore the underrated.
Though there were many other but nothing so significant than this.

Age - 18
Sex - Male

Talents - Singing, Playing Guitar (Rythm and a bit of Lead here and there), Badminton(kiddy game). Thats it.
But Still I feel the strongest point I have over my colleagues is my knowledge/interest in technology/computers.

Negatives - Though I used to Jog and go to Gym, its been a while I left it all. I do not play any competitive sport. Am learning to play Basketball. Want to play tennis as well.

I will probably never play games like Football or Cricket because they cannot be played alone and there's a lot of inferiority complex while playing in a group.

@amitava82, I know exactly how you feel. Sports man, damn! I could never get it right.. Maybe I still have time? Maybe you still have time, its never too late!
