In what order do you list the people you have met without bias, or prejudice or ......?
Thank God for the English language and alphabetical order:
Abhijit Shrikhande: Abhijit is an Aquarian. Like me. And he is also a Ardent and Arduous debater like me. I guess Abhijit is the only person who, on his day, can defeat me in a debate. (My, how I just love being modest). Abhijit is also notorious for his green-on-the-outside-brown-in-the-middle-and-so-the-description-continues... eyes.
Aditya Mathur: Aditya as Also an Aquarian. Like me. And he has this thin and hungry look all the time. And he has the sexiest laugh in the world. And he is an obsessive genius at times. And finally he is the only Aquarian guy I know who is a family man.
Adnan Rangwala: Adnan is the person in this list who I know for the longest amount of time. I don't remember when I first met him at Jai Hind. In fact all those memory's are very hazy. But he is the only Jai Hind guy apart from a certain Mr. Bhat who has kept in touch. And all VESIT people know him as the notorious Adnan who told us about the 7th sem postponement.
Anand Chavali: He loves this girl for whom he sings Ghazals and travels to Dadar TT. He reads Archie and P.G. Wodehouse. And supports my Conspiracy Theory of Science and my Conspiracy Theory of Air Travel. And is looking for the meaning of life.
Anish Mehta: The Guzzu who cracked the TI aptest all India. And the Guzzu who say 'No yaar, I haven't studied, no yaar, I don't study' and then goes onto top his class. And who plans to do an MBA after his MS.
Cliffton Andrew Jones Syngkon: Do you know anyone who has a longer name? And who is also so short. Anyway, Cliffton, true to his name loves climbing onto cliffs. And of course he is a non-vegetarian with a capital N. I'm sure Cliffton will never forget racing me to the top of that cliff at 3:00am and then sitting and resting in the arms of God.
Falguni Vora: Her smile can knock out any guy in the world. Except me, as I can flash the million volts right back to her. And I have eaten the best pav-bhaji at her place. And she will never forgive me for not being able to attend her Arangetram.
Gauri Parikh: Gauri ben laughs a lot. Likes kulfi. And still hasn't been able to find me a girlfriend. You better get me someone soon my dear or else....
Imran Deshmukh: He was the first person I met at VESIT and also one of the weirdest. Poet, artist, musician, orator and about to do a PhD in Electromagnetics. Boy! Is he in for a wild ride. Keep reading books and recommending a few to me.
Julie Aloor: Julie is the stuff legends are made of. "I'm sorry I can't email to you as I haven't downloaded Hotmail on my comp yet", "Julie send me the Word document as a zip file" - Julie will send you zip.doc. Anyway Julie is also an amazing dancer and does the meanest mujra this side of the world. And heaven help you if you aren't practicing as hard as she likes.
Kedar Chitnis: Kedar is the resident programming guru. And has this heavenly bungalow at Lonavla where our gang has had some incredible times. Now that Kedar has joined Texas Instruments, we are all waiting for him to send us the wedding invites. We all will probably have to come down from the States right in the middle of our courses, when Keds decides to introduce us to bhabhiji.
Mahesh Patil: Mahesh is in competition in with me and Rishi in the height stakes. And he is a damn nice guy to know.
Mandira Thakurdesai: The newest addition to our group, thanks to this guy who seems to have forgotten my number, the only complaint we all have with Mandy bhai is that she is too quiet. Anyway she'll have some really good company at Rutgers. I guess people can be thankful that Drexel is to close by.
Mrugaya Wagh: The girl who absolutely loves standing next to me so that she can show me how tall she is. And who has the voice of a nightingale. Hey Myu, can't you put up some of your mp3's on the net?
Nayan Khinvasara: Well. What can you say about a guy who was in your project group. And who sits right next to you when you give your GRE. And who has probably done more dhamaal with me than anybody else in VESIT. Anyway, I also claim the distinction of being in that elite group of people who has actually succeeded in embarrassing him. And he still hasn't found me a girlfriend. Nannu! Tera hua, ab mera kya hoga!
Pooja Shah: Pooja is my dance partner. With whom I have probably jived more times than I ever will with anybody else. Pooja is a Gujju, but speaks Marathi and eats non-veg. Thank God.
Prashant Chaudhary: PC is the resident Bengali who always forgets Durga Puja. Anyway, what we'd all like to ask him is "PC, Why is that crow flying?"
Priya Joshi: Priya is the weirdest woman I know. And I guess she knows what an amazing compliment that is, coming from a weird guy like me. And to know the real Priya Joshi you got to talk to her when she is in one of her blabbering moods. And heaven help you if she decides to cut you up verbally.
Rajas Sambhare: I wish I could tell you more, but I guess you'll probably have to ask the Maker. And you'll really have to butter Him up, as I guess I am pretty much top-secret material.
Roopsha Samanta: She's Bengali and likes image processing. And if she didn't have some crazy hangups, her life would probably have been a lot different.
Rishikesh Tembe: Another tall guy. Some more competition in the height stakes. And also a hard-core trekker.
Rohan Deshpande: Despo is fullto timepass. Despo is absolute dhamaal. And where the heck is he anyway. I mean, no mails, nothing. Kidhar ho mere bhai.
Rohan Wagle: I could write a book about him. He is already a legend in VESIT and I'm sure he will be one in Drexel too. Remember Rohan, just like you don't delete command.com in Windows, similarly you don't mess in the root in Unix.
Sandhya Castellino: If ever a girl deserved the adjective 'mysterious' its Sandhya. Poor, poor Adi, this is one puzzle he'll be solving all his life.
Shweta Vengsarkar: Sweety is nice, helpful and awfully paranoid. She is also easily irritable and incredibly hardworking. And I'm sure Wagle will make sure her life will always interesting. Tubelight.
Shivani Khazanchi: Crabs, fried prawns, lobsters, pomfrets and bangdas. By simply writing all this here I have signed my death-warrant. So I guess I should make up by mentioning paya soup. Anyway, if Dagny ever came to life it would probably be as Shivani. And don't worry, I'll do the sketch.
Siddharth Shetty: Siddhu is the only guy I know who has enjoyed all the subjects that I have in VESIT. Siddhu is dark but still turns red when you make him laugh a lot. And although we may have never mentioned this to each other, I guess we are probably a lot closer than we think. Siddhu is also Aquarian and also a family man. In fact, he is one the oldest.
Siddharth Shetty: No this is not a mistake. I do know two of them. And this one we call Sonu to alleviate the confusion. (This of course leads to confusion with Sonali but that's a different matter). Anyway, he is highly confused, and highly going around. As have said before, Rutgers isn't that far away. And mere bhai, please call me up once in a while.
Sonali Ramteke: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii is one thing I am going to miss a lot when I go to where my career takes me. But I guess, she can always do this on the net. Keep spreading the smiles.
Sumeet Gwalani: He is one of the most mature guys I know. And I guess some certain Bugs is very grateful for that fact.
Tanushree Bagrodia: She is vegetarian and she won't give up. She's a Scorpio and can sting like one. And she is probably going to fleece Vinay and me into paying for her MBA. I'm going to miss this one.
Vibha Ravindran: Tubelight 2. Incredibly sweet, helpful but not the least bit paranoid. If you have to learn to live without cares you should learn from Vibha. I'm sure that's the reason she has so many brothers.
Vijay Vishwanathan: Ok. So you guys want to hear a compliment. Then hear this. Vijay is absolutely the nicest and greatest guy I have ever known. Besides he has been my debate partner. So what if he's vegetarian.
Vinay Bhat: Why am I even mentioning this guy here? I mean, he's a hopeless romantic, bloody intelligent and absolutely stupid when it comes to his love life. Hazaar baar bola, Tanu hai tere liye, magar nahi, is namune ko to kuch samajh me he nahin ayega. What to do some people are beyond help.
Vishal Shah: Wagle's bhaiyya. Shweta's personal nightmare. If only Vishal had gotten into Cornell too. Chalega, I guess Vishal can always go and visit once in a while. Both Shweta and Wagle.
Vivek Sundaram: "Auto? Chalo!". Who can forget these legendary lines? Guzzu is in good company in UIUC.
Yatish Wasnik: "Yo! Sex!". If you can shout this out at the top of your voice, then you can do anything.
I may have missed somebody. Well sorry already, and do write to me in all the angry words you can think of.
