    Hai Harish,

    This is such an interesting find you have done.

    In fact,I would like to say that Maverick is one of a kind and a radical thinker,he helps us all through thick and thin.

    I am sure it will take time for Maverick to read this,as he is out of town :)

    I should share with you,the day I joined Boddunan,I watched a movie titled 'Surf's up'(an animation movie)

    In that movie,there was a character named 'Cody Maverick' and I found it weird that someone with a name such as that would be a challenger;and to my surprise,I saw Maverick's profile that day which read "Maverick...coding..coding"

    I do not know if it was a sheer co-incidence or something unusual that followed. :)

    Hey guys.. sorry for the delayed entry. Due to my personal illness I am not able to login to boddunan regularly and follow all posts.

    Anyway the answer is in your options:
    "I like to be independent/out of the box in whatever I am thinking and whatever I am doing"

    I am not sure I am following this 100% but trying my best since I know the world :)

    When opportunity is in front of you, don't hesitate to catch it. It will never come to you again. - Maverick

    Hi Maverick!

    You have chosen a nice one! As far my limited knowldege goes this word came into the English vocabulary from the name of an engineer S.A.Maverick who owned unbranded cattle! I do not consider the use of this word with any negative association. Some of our greatest social reformers or any person belonging to any field challenging existing ideas, social mores and practices could be described as mavericks. This my opinion
