My Friends.

One thing common among all my friends is that none of them are normal. Find out for yourself

MY BROTHER: Prabhu (Rama)- It would be erraneous to categorize him as my friend as his mission in life seems to be to undo all my doings. An Interesting guy nevertheless. Idealist, realist, cynic, wierdo, all rolled into one. An excellent guitarist with wierd sounding compositions.

FRIENDS FROM SCHOOL

Satish 'wooly' Nair ( alias Unni): So called because of his shock of curly hair bordering on a mop. Married Raji on 27/08/98. You just can't better him when it comes to excuses - one for every occasion ( his habits require that he develop such skills). well...too bad for Raji. I wish her all luck.

Nikhil 'Tatta-nik' Dutt: Your idea of a typical rock'n'roller. Long hair, trashed jeans, thin as a broomstick, nicotine stains on the fingers, ...you know, the works. Is a wiz with a guitar. An archietect by profession.

Vishal'Bobby'Soni: A collector's item. Known for his ready wit and ability to extract funny lines out of thin air. Sightings are few and far between but each meeting leaves his fragrance for a long time.

FRIENDS AT D.C.E

Manish Mudgal ( Muddi in college, now anglicized to Muddy): This is an intensely funny creature in all respects right from the mischevious glint in it's eyes. It has a wierd sense of humour coupled with a wierder sense. Always game for anything out of the way. Currently leads a respectable life trying his best to contribute (???) to the prifits of Godrej Pacific in Bombay. Much is the time I have spent partying in the company of this individual.

Sudip Kiran Dasgupta ( known as Kida thankfully): This person was one of the few people in college who used to freak out on computers (not playing games or watching you know what, mind you). Currently pursuing a career in CMC whih we all believe is his calling.

Sunil Kalra ( Kallu or Govt. of India): This is a very power-hungry type. Would always get his things done. Always moved around with a long checklist of things to get done(not do, please note). Had his goals very clearly set. But that did not prevent him from associating himself with our types.

Sumeet Sharma( Sumo): The Roly-poly guy with a perpetual smile on his face. Very practical and cerebral though he oncealed it well. Unilever, Bombay are very frtunate to have him.

Vikram Garga(Murga): A Guy renowned for his grit and determination. He would never leave a Prof. until his marks were increased ( even half a mark was a worthy cause for a hour long fight).

Rohit Gera: No one has ever won any kind of argument against him. Catch him in a dangerous mood and you could have all your ancestry, principles, et al systematically shredded into bits. Now safely married.

Amit Gupta (Lambu): If you ever see a very white(fluoroscent) very long worm walking upright you can be sure that it is Lambu. Was one of those who got psyched easily. Usually a victim of many pranks, most of the time he used to take them sportingly. But when he blew his top, his Punjabi lineage manifested itself( he was a man of words).
