Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 01:57, 15 April 2007

I'm Nirav Maurya, Rama's Arrow. I was born on June 25, 1986 in Mumbai and now reside in Greenbelt in the wonderful state of Maryland quite close to Washington, D.C.. I work with Misplaced Pages to learn and contribute specialist knowledge across the spectrum. I use Misplaced Pages for research and study more than for contributing data and media.

I've primarily been active so far on topics related to the archaeology, Indian history, Hindu mythology, the Indian independence movement and Hinduism, but I plan to diversify my contributions far and wide. I'm decidedly focused on writing as many featured articles as possible, but I'm also doing my best to help other users and defend encyclopedia standards. An active contributor for a year now, I try to be as creative, helpful and constructive here as possible in order to repay my immense debt for the wonderful knowledge and satisfaction this place and its people have given me. There's a great quanta of wonderful and thankless work to be done, so I'm buckled up.

I was emotionally motivated to write about the Political integration of India and its architect Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and I dare say that these articles are the most documented accounts you'll ever find on the internet. My work on Lothal was chiefly inspired by a childhood visit to the archaeological site, which was a great adventure, even though the only thing on display apart from the dock were ancient toilets and sewers! In all three cases, I felt a very personal sense of pride. User:Rama's Arrow/Hotbox

I'm really passionate about World Wrestling Entertainment. I started watching "WWF" when I was like 7-8 years old. My all-time heroes are Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Chris Benoit, Dave Bautista and Rey Mysterio Jr. While Randy Orton is an awesome wrestler, I just wish he'd get his personal problems sorted out. I think Kurt Angle is the best active wrestler today. For the all-time best professional wrestler, it is the late great Eddie Guerrero. The best matches I've ever been privileged to watch are - Benoit vs. Brock Lesnar, Eddie vs. Rey and Eddie vs. JBL; all three on SmackDOWN! and for the WWE Championship. Eddie vs. the Basham Brothers was an amazing handicap match. Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart at WrestleMania X, Stone Cold vs. Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13 and Hart vs. Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII must count as the best matches of all time. I absolutely love the WWE Iron Man Match format - all the best wrestlers bring their best game there.

Eddie was the greatest because he was the master of both entertainment and wrestling. Eddie could and often would carry entire WWE shows just on his unfailing humor and big smile. He could make you love him or hate him at will - he was a consummate entertainer. And make no mistake - Eddie was the best wrestler. He beats both Angle and Bret Hart because he was a master of both Greco-Roman wrestling and Lucha Libre. He beats Mysterio because he had a stronger body, could hi-fly-dive and mat wrestle. That's what I call passion. He loved his family and loved his work - imagine doing all this at every single show and PPV throughout the year. His biggest triumph was his return after a devastating couple of years of drug addiction and personal turmoil. November 13, 2005 was probably the worst day of my life - there was something surreal about it. Just 2 weeks ago, Eddie had abandoned his heel run against Mysterio and his trademark "Lie, Cheat, Steal" entrance and persona had returned. In his last match against Ken Kennedy (aired November 11), it was vintage Eddie - winning by DQ (coz he cheated). Then he tells Batista in the backstage segment that "I've got your back." On November 13, he was scheduled to win the World Heavyweight Championship... After one year, I still miss Eddie. The night of his death was probably the greatest legacy he left - tens of millions of his fans heart-broken. It was also the most tragic - he will miss watching his girls grow up and his wife Vicky. My prayers are with the Guerrero family. Eddie is my icon and mentor - he will live within me forever. One of the things that made me smile like Eddie was seeing an "Eddie Guerrero - Latino Heat - We Miss You" poster held up by fans in Delhi when John Cena was on tour. I would really like to congratulate those guys for that wonderful tribute despite the time elapsed and the gigantic distance between where they were and where Eddie lived. One year later, Latino Heat still burns...
