The theory always intrigued me since my school days, when I first read a cover story in a local magazine, which read (in Bengali) দানিকেন তত্ত্ব কতখানি সত্য – which would simply translate to “How true is Daniken’s hypothesis?”. The initial read was rather boring for a 12 year old, but as I continued reading I started troubling my mother with those millions of questions that sprang up in my mind. However unlike most mothers who would try to avoid such questions, she explained me the theory, and what the crux was all about. It took a few months for the whole idea to settle down, and start taking shape.
Around the same time, Indian Television started airing Star Trek (With William Shatner), something that proved to be an addiction. Star Trek, Ancient Aliens, Chariots of the Gods proved to be a heady concoction. However all this changed, I went to college, graduated and started working. One evening, walking on Fergusson College Road, in Pune I came across a very old copy of “Chariots of the Gods”, it was in such condition, that the book seller didnt know how much to quote. I paid him 20 rupees – that’s less than half a US$. This book proved to be the restart point of a long journey, that would drive me insane later. So here I am for the love of #AncietAliens [the twitter way] :-)
