While Anand is away on a well-deserved vacation (ed: and as such isn’t around to stop us from doing this), we wanted to give The Boss a very special shout-out to wish him a happy 30th birthday.
For those of you familiar with our history, Anand has operated AnandTech since he was just 14 years old, which means he’s now been writing reviews (and breaking things) for half of his life. And while he has slowed down a bit with age – we understand that he sometimes sleeps now – his hard work still puts the rest of us (younger and older) to shame. But in all seriousness, even after having read AnandTech for most of those 15 years and worked for Anand for many of them, he continues to amaze us on a regular basis.
Of course they say that with age comes wisdom. On his 30th birthday it’s clear that Anand acquired both of those in spades – which is probably why he’s on vacation while we’re still working (ed: hey!).
Happy 30th birthday Anand!

Happy Birthday, Anand! I think I started reading Anandtech when I was younger than 14 (probably since the age of 10), but it's fascinating to think that Anand's been PRODUCING and publishing this stuff since such a young age!But I have to ask... is that first picture supposed to be Anand at 14 years old?! Because he would have been one mature looking 14 year old! :O

I believe it's him at 17 actually. It's hard to come by decently large pictures of Anand that are quite that old.Leo V - Wednesday, June 27, 2012 - link
