I have had had my share of friends from first standard. I am clueless about many of them including one of my favorite friends Abhilash from Ursu School.The only Ursu mate I know is Sudhanva Vedanti who hops here and now to our house. All of them have scattered quickly.In Vijaya Vitthala I got to know Sunil R Abhilash (Abhi,Suni), Deepak Pai and host of others. In DMS I had the affable Daya ("Dog Master")beside me.I followed TCM(the class topper in 10th boards) to Marimallapas. My kudos to all of others like Naveen,Milind,Daya,Shruthi who stayed on in DMS. Marimallappa's was a hell with no comfy place to sit during classes. Whole mysore friends flocked to Mari college. I got most of my friends here. I was attached to "Marimallappa Gang",aptly renamed SJCE gang (Members-S.Bharath,Sunil,Dinesh,Deepu,Babu,KD,Karthik,RK,BKS,Abhishek,Anoop Any name missing mail me) after many from SBRR Mahajana, Sadvidya joined our gang. This gang holds sway over SJCE :-). I even ventured out with some classmates to start a group which never took shape of it's own.

Nandan M ("Master study genius-n-blaster"),Anil Mohan("Classy French beard"),Girish G S and I play criket matches along with the whole gang at Police Grounds,NS Puram,Mysore and sometimes near Karthik's home at RK Nagar.

Some useful classmates are Arun V(C-panta), Gana ("the 3D man") , Gautham ,Ashwin and AnoopS.

Ever since i came in touch with Mr.Shashishekar(shashi),of Informedia he is been cultivating my new passion for LINUX/GNU.

More additions likely in the future.
