The three D's that are chevaan
By Farah Macan Markar
This solemn guy can be seen on TV
where he reads out the news on MTV.
Local, foreign, business and sports,
it's Chevaan Daniel - please note.
Chevaan Daniel whose nicknames are,
Danny and CD, is twenty four "yaars".
Born on May 11th 1978.
Can be seen on TV only on Sundays, of late.
Starting off by reading the news on Yes FM Radio.
After a few months was asked on TV to have a go.
So on MTV he's been for the last five years
and has never looked back, this guy without a fear.
That's one weird factor
among the guys I interview,
they never seem to have a fear,
as most of the girls bravely admit they do.
Well getting back to Chevaan
this one cool, calm guy,
is never nervous when on air
even when on his first shy.
"I don't think much about it
but concentrate on the job,
which is reading clearly and accurately
I don't get nervous at all".
Media, international and current affairs
Chevaan loves.
So being a news caster, he says
is a most fascinating job.
"I've always been interested
in the world around me.
"So this is the ideal job
for me to be.
Being a news reader
has opened many doors.
For as long as I can
I'd like to always in it have a go".
Chevaan's main priority is achievement.
Says he has a harsh, realistic view of life.
"Life's about survival of the fittest"
He keeps this in mind with his every stride.
Of love - Chevaan says,
it's a chemical thing
detached from the emotional
something to do with Oxytoxin.
Writing poetry, playing cricket
rugby, boxing, whatever comes his way,
reading books, listening to music
are Chevaan's hobbies of the day.
Of habits - take note of this,
Chevaan tends to wink a lot when on screen.
His most embarrassing moment - digging his nose on air
for every one to see.
What does he look for in a girl?
Confidence, intelligence,
understand his opinion on things
compliment him and be extremely attractive.
Girls like this however, Chevaan says
at the end of his summary,
"Unfortunately don't exist".
I wonder whether guys do in equal reality.
As a kid young Chevaan
was a very curious child.
The first person to ask questions in class.
" Always wanted to know about life".
Having studied at St.T*
and just floated through.
Chev says it taught him
a never say die attitude.
His ultimate dream-to reach his potential in life.
Growing up he says, he had a great time,
having a united family, and an extended one as well,
a sissy and a girlfriend, life was swell.
So who is Chevaan Daniel?
Chevaan says there are three things
which defines the person he is,
"Determination, Dedication and Discipline".
