Following this week’s interview with Shakeel Bhat, otherwise known as Zipper Boy/Purple Helmet Guy, I thought it would be a good opportunity to reveal some lesser known facts about him.
1. Was voted “Most likely to blow up” at school.
2. Was nicknamed “Shaq”, but insisted it be changed after people started referring to that big American infidel basketball player the same way.
3. Is an avid cook, and is known in Kashmir for his jelly donuts.
4. Was once expelled from his school after being caught in a compromising position with a neighborhood goat – a big crime considering he was already assigned another goat at the time.
5. Used to be a decent baritone, but is more falsetto these days.
