  Rangmunch: Are you an impulsive person and if yes what was the last impulsive thing you did ?

Barun: You know I am a very patient person with the people I have to be. But I am impulsive too and I do really stupid things when I am in that mode... I have not fought in a very long time.. If you ask me to think of one of it has to be the time when i think we beat up a few guys in Ruby Tuesday  in Delhi because he called a friend a Firang.
