A friend who helped me get my current job.
He is the one who told me about the employee referral program and helped forward my resume through a friend of his working here. He also helped me make up my mind to come all the way to Bangalore for the tests and interviews ... how that came to be was because initially I wasn't even going to consider coming thinking I haven't heard of the company and its too far to come just for the test and interview, also since I was preparing to attend a few tests back home. But then he was like after he had gone to all the trouble, I should at least consider it properly - which made me enquire about the company through a cousin of mine, who told its a very good company. And after all the tests and interviews, I am here, having completed my probation - a permanent employee ... :).
He is quite sure of himself and can talk himself into or out of anything he wants ... quite a talent. His day starts only after 10am or possibly even 11am ... he might belong to the vampire family - usually can be seen online all night long ... He is quite ambitious and strives to get what he wants when it comes to his work ... and in the career point of view, I do look up to him.
He loves playing video games, he is addicted to the net (which was how we became friends - orkut ... :D ) ... He loves movies, he is into blogging and strongly protests for causes he believes in ... he is an atheist (so am I and many of my friends ...) ... He hates religious intolerance and oppression against the weak ... loves to travel ... and cares a lot for his family. He is also very caring and a bit over protective of his friends ... and is a good company. He isn't normally very open nor very good at speaking his mind out, except with real close friends. On the negative side, he could be real rude, and well is often trying to compete for "The Rudie of the year" title, and his favorite expression could be "JITL (Jump In The Lake)". He is also very sensitive and gets riled up over small things. Anyway I am glad I met this guy because he has become a real good friend of mine, and I really enjoy his company... :)

Ashish Bohra
Fellow trainee and colleague at Ness
This guy is someone whom anyone would notice in a crowd. Very smart and outgoing ... full of energy and easy going. He is very friendly and talks easily and is also very open and straight forward in his approach. He also makes a lot of noise where ever he goes, pulls everyone's leg ... jokes and in general has 'masti' most of the time.
He does occasionally go off into a moody state, and go all silent, when people really do notice, because its quite opposite to how he is otherwise. Still no one is the same at all times, and he might be one of those people who always like to share his happiness and keep his sorrows to himself.
He likes sports - cricket, football. Loves to dance. He likes to go out with friends and have fun. Generally a fun loving guy. But he keeps his own council, and in spite of all the fun and masti, people don't really know him deep down. He is a really nice guy and a good friend. He is caring and supportive and will always be there for his friends ...
*masti - hindi for fun

Shirish Katti
Fellow trainee and colleague at Ness
Shirish is someone I found to be very quiet ... who is reserved. He has a calm way of handling everything. During our training he knew many of the things already, and would always be willing to help if you ask him. He is quite hardworking, and really good-natured and helpful. But people tend to not know of his capabilities due to his quiet nature. Personally I do not know much more about him as I have limited first hand knowledge. But he isn't one to shy away from friends and company, and he does like to hang out, though he tends to listen most of the time than contribute in discussions. I hope I would eventually get to know more at some point of time, and will add more about this guy ...

Pragyan Mohanty
Fellow trainee at Ness, colleague at Ness
Pragyan is the kid in our training batch, the youngest. She has a great passion when it comes to photography and have taken a lot of quite amazing photographs. She is also very creative and made an album of photos with autograph pages for our friends in training who had been posted at Mumbai.
She is also extremely fond of good food and love to find good restaurants. She loves sweets and chocolates and always feels the urge to go out and get some after every meal ... She was there fore called chocolate vali bhai by our batch. She likes to go out and see places, enjoys traveling and loves to read books.
She is also very enthusiastic about social service and had actively been a member of a social service NGO while she was doing her b-tech. She is still in touch with them and would like to continue the good work when ever possible.
She is not much into dressing up and almost has no interest in make ups - some degree of tom-boyishness you could say. She tends to be serious in discussions at times and tends to give Vipin a hard time when he starts off with his Poor Jokes ... Anyway she is an interesting person I have met ... :)

Anjana Kumar
fellow trainee and colleague at Amadeus, Ness
Anjana is someone who is innocent, who loves movies, and who is quite open and speaks her heart (which Vivek might not digest at times, especially when she speaks about admiring someone else ... he he) ... She is still a kid at heart and often takes things too seriously. She does have a habit of worrying too much, no matter whether it is a big problem or a small one, and is a bit tensed about things in general. So we kind of don't take her seriously when she does tell us things with high degree of agitation ( well I believe she does know this too ... I guess we are too easy going, and don't scare easily).
But she is a real sweetheart and I will always remember that she made and brought me Palgoa ( a sweet made from milk) when I got a craving for it and had been searching for it for three weeks without success, and was sitting dejectedly over it ... she really made my day!!! She is quite helpful, and sincere, and a very nice person. She is also strong and I believe was tomboyish before. She had also learned Karate during her school days. Dear Jahnavi is in her team, and sits next to her, and often bugs her to no extend, especially when Janu is in one of her crazy moods. I am waiting to see Janu getting kicked one of these days.
I have to say she is someone I like very much, and is always true at heart. So you would have a friend you could trust, even if she might not join with you in making mischief. :) ...

Mouli Chakraborty
Fellow trainee and colleague at Amadeus, Ness
She is our delicate darling, highly sensitive to everything, cant shake hands hard, she cant stand too much sunlight, all together too vulnerable to the elements of nature and other people. So one has to be careful not to hit her accidentally or anything ... or you would be responsible for black and blue marks where you hit her.
Anyway during our initial training program she was sitting next to me and had suffered a great deal of my craziness. I had bugged her and played a lot of pranks on her (like suddenly pulling her chair, disturbing her while she is half asleep in her seat listening to lectures, sing horrible songs, and so on ... :) ..). Therefore I have to say she's got a lot of patience at least with me.
She is a good dancer, and loves to have fun. Loves good food. Loves to travel. She also reads a lot and we have discussed about quite a few books. She also endeavored to teach me Hindi, though I have to say since we don't meet as much now, the learning hasn't progressed much.
She also has got a good fashion sense and loves to dress up.
Now on the negative side, she is a bit short tempered, and might tend to get offended quickly, especially when boys tease her too much. But unfortunately she is an easy target (or maybe they are finding teasing her as an opportunity to talk to her - wrong method dudes!) and ends up in the receiving end of a lot of teasing. Most of it has to do with her affinity towards saying "Oh my god!" whenever something goes wrong and her highly expressive personality, where by she tends to enact what she says with her hands ... but well I think expressing using hands is a general Indian trait, where each person varies only in the degree of expressing.
She is someone you would definitely like as a good friend ... more on this dear girl later ....

Sanjeev Kumar
Fellow trainee and colleague in Amadeus, Ness.
Sanji is someone who is calm and cool, quiet and a bit reserved. He would talk a lot when he feels comfortable with company, but mostly takes his time to get settled with the people and surroundings. We have had a good rapport from the start, since we both happen to be big fans of a Japanese Cartoon - Naruto. So starting with that, I got to know him real well and he is a real good friend of mine, though we don't hang out all that much. He is really interested in sports, cricket in particular, listens to a lot of music, loves manga(Japanese cartoon comic) and is very helpful and friendly. He also has a good sense of humour and observation skills, and did demonstrate it by imitating several friends - mainly mouli and jahnavi ... :D. From what I know he is a very sincere person and loves to do things differently. He loves his family a lot. His favourite food is Aloo Paratta. And from what he has been saying he can cook well too ... And he loves to share poor jokes!!! I really do think he is a real great friend to have ... :).

Vipin Jain
Colleague of mine in Ness,
fellow trainee.
This is in tribute to today being his B'day : 21st Jan - :)
Vipin is quite a character - and the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about him is a running race : we had it during our training period - very interesting incident. He was being chased around by my then roommate Sushma, who later moved to work in Mumbai, for some evidently inflammatory comment .. :D ... when I felt a sudden inspiration to challenge him for a running race.
He lost the race ... to his extreme surprise ( he kept saying - i never expected - u are too fast - i tried my best - etc etc immediately after the race ... guess he was taken too much by surprise to think ... ;)). But ever since he recovered his senses keeps giving the reason that he lost on purpose to hold the honor of women ... an interesting theory :D.
OK so we'll leave his embarrassing stories for now ... and continue with who he is ...
He is someone with exceptional observation skills, who notices everything from who goes where, what each person wears, and the list is endless ... He is also a very cheerful person, with a perpetual smile on his face ... He loves to have fun and go out, but also knows to take responsibilities seriously. He is also very caring and sensitive to people, and a quite good friend, who will always be there for you. He is an exceptionally good singer, and that should have been the first thing I wrote about him, if the running race hadn't happened.
He is also good at telling jokes ... (you would get to know when u meet him ... :P) ... and he claims dancing is the only thing he can never master. Anyway He is quite an interesting guy, who is real fun to hang out with ... and loves visiting new places, and music. He is now planning to start with guitar classes... will have to see what more interesting things he would do with his life ... :) ...

Jahnavi Mohanambika
My training batch mate at Ness Technology,
Colleague and room mate as of today.
Let me see - Jahnavi or Janu as I call her is really someone unique ... on a general note she is a superb dancer - with a talent to memorize steps after seeing it just once, and she has a real good grace and style.
A reasonably good singer, with a love for melodies - mainly in Telgu but also in English and other languages ... An artist too who can embroider her own clothes ( shall i say fashion designer??? well a little too big a word, but well she does have a good sense of fashion) ...
Not usually someone I would hang out with in first appearance - since she is extremely interested in dressing up, jewelery and well in short a typical dainty and beauty conscious girl one would think, with a craze for shopping( naturally) ... but well all this being true I still find her a real great friend to hang out with - and we get along great ... and I am surprised but I really am greatly fond of this girl.
There are more to her than all this - she is quite understanding, doesn't interfere in anyone's personal life unnecessarily which is something I prize highly because I like people who respect others right to privacy ... a good listener, one can trust her with things ... and one I could confide in if needed ... she is very caring and loving, loves her family a lot ... she loves to enjoy life, go out and have fun ... very friendly and makes a lot of friends ...
Loves chocolates - and well you should see her face when she sees chocolates to understand exactly what I mean ... has a very good humor sense and really fun to hang out with ... She even tried her hand at drawing and drew a pencil sketch of me with a little help from me - which was not that bad, kinda came out good, and well again she also seems to try reading books (am not sure if I was the inspiration, but if I am, i think that's a good thing ... he he) ... so definitely she is open to changes ... if she feels its a good change ...
Only draw back I can tell you is her sense of time ... (again typical of many females who loves to dress up!!!) - if she says we'll go out at 8, expect her only by 9 ... ;) ... but that is something I am used to in many people, so if i want her out by 8 i would say 7 ... :D ...
I think there are lot more to write - u stay with a person you get to know them real well ... but since I think this is enough description of her to put here in a blog ... I think you should meet her and get to know her better if u need to know more ... Anyway I am real glad I met her and she is my friend ...

Anand Satish
My tuition mate in 11th and 12th
This guy again is someone I am writing about here because even though we studied together for tuitions and only for two years, his parents were my teachers then for entrance coaching, and then they taught my brother too - so our families are always in contact ... and again we are still in touch though its random and usually after months of no news about each other ... He was always good at studies, and now is doing his masters at IIT - so you can guess ... He always has a hundred watt smile on his face and a very pleasant nature ... and though we usually only about each others welfare I always did like the guy - in personality. So its good to have him as a friend and keep in touch ... cant say much else about him first hand, but through observation he is turned into a fitness freak, now changed his look and has a "yo" look :D in my college terminology - and is also travelling around and enjoying his life a lot ... he also likes to read and listen to music ... I know, this is not all that much but well ... knowing something is better than nothing - isnt it? ;)

ANAND S BABU
Tuition mate in 11th and 12th ...
This guy is one of a kind ... who is always having a mischievous smile ... always having a cheerful attittude. He has a very helpful nature ... great fan of rock music and plays guitar pretty well ... loves to travel and enjoy life in general ... had always been nice having him as a friend though we end up talking once in a blue moon ... he is an all rounder who knows to balance life ... gone through several freaky interests too in occults, extraterrestrials, witchcraft ... and so on ... He also takes part in social service which I assume might be because his mom too always does a lot of social service. Am always glad he's been a good friend .. :)

Bharathy Subramani
My school mate from 9th to 12th
She is my best friend from school. It was that part of my life when I was a recluse, a reserved type, basically because I was too shy to talk to people and to boys in particular, and most of the girls at school belonged to another genre, with more interest in MTV, fashion, make ups, looks, nail polish ... what girls are normally interested in, and I kind of was a bit different - a tom boy, not interested in any of those things and didn't find the conversations interesting. I loved sports ... and so that was one thing that made me real happy, playing basketball and the various other games. Bharathy was also a bit different ... not all that much into the girlish stuff, also interested in playing out doors and having fun, a down to earth person whom i could connect with. She was not pretentious and was one of the few people I could relate to in school. She was a fun person. Someone with a ready smile. Who was just the opposite of what I was back then, and I really admired her ability to easily mingle with people and get along, and just go full out. She wasn't scared of anything, and well I liked her a lot. One of the only people I had a bit of possessiveness about without knowing it. I am normally never possessive and I was surprised when I didn't like her getting attached to other friends in 12th ... I seriously had insecurity issues back then I guess ... but when I realised I was getting possessive I did manage to get out of it ... and well I hate possessiveness in me or anyone being possessive about me ... so i got rid of it. She was also a bit naive about a lot of things back then ... and so was I, and had a little less awareness of surroundings ... he he ... and really no qualms about calling out all the names under the sun when someone deserved it ... or for fun (when someone asked for it) ... well I guess I did learn quite a few Tamil swear words from her ... not anything serious - just a few like "Pombala poriki, sombheri pasu ... paye ... pisache ... sory naye ..." etc ... she is a really caring person ... who is a good singer ... who can be real fun to hang out with!!! Who can cheer u up ... who can make friends out of complete strangers if left with such a group ... who can be depended on and trusted to be with u always ... she is always a great friend ... and we keep in touch as often as we can ... which isn't as much as i would like but well ... we could always talk like we did just yesterday be it after a month or after a year ... I guess true friendship has no rules and borders ...

Who can cheer u up ... who can make friends out of complete strangers if left with such a group ... who can be depended on and trusted to be with u always ... she is always a great friend ... and we keep in touch as often as we can ... which isn't as much as i would like but well ... we could always talk like we did just yesterday be it after a month or after a year ... I guess true friendship has no rules and borders ...

College mate for 4 years
He was in IT class ... and the first thing i remember about him is the tall guy who was scared to talk to girls ... if he happened to be walking on a road and sees a girl he takes such a wide detour that it was extremely amusing ... later on I got to know him through Sanni as he was her classmate. He is really tall, must be 6 foot 2 or something or maybe more ... He was also interested in basketball and that kinda was a reason he ended up being my friend. He was the captain of the men's basketball team in final year. He was a good team leader and play maker and just because of him our house basketball team had won, in spite of being pitted against a team which seemed much stronger due to the abundance of the college team players ... talk about effective team efforts ... I seriously have to say he is really good with caring about people ... and he is actually a nice guy with a few escape tendencies, as in he hates to get hurt and does some foolish stuff like trying to push away friends so that he would miss them less when they leave him after college kind of crap ... what to do ... some people get strange ideas ... i never saw the point in that, but well each to once own logic. Anyway he is a nice friend to have, loyal, dependable, and helpful .... and one would certainly enjoy his company!!! I am happy to have known him.

Mari Muthu
College mate for 4 years
Though he want in my class, was in IT, he was always in my class during break times, and used to hang out with us ... he is from Idukki, and he sings well, I have heard him sing once ... but later when i asked him to sing he was very shy ... He is a jolly character, with a dimpled smile, a rough look, but actually pretty much a pavam guy. He likes playing football, loves his friends ... and is really down to earth. He always strike me as someone who was straight forward in his dealings with people, relatively quiet though not exactly reserved, just someone who talks less and listens more, and generally enjoys just hanging out ... he had been with our batch for the tours, and well ... he is more like one of my classmate ... :)

She was in the room with Vidya Jyothi and Krishna J S, and since the two Krishna's were in the same room, we used to call her as KB ... she is actually a very sensitive girl, who doesnt know to keep anything in her mind ... always health concious and beauti concious ... she used to exercise regularly, and i swear half the acrobatics she did would be very difficult to do ... yoga exercise ... :) ... she was also a good dancer and had seen her dance for the Arts and hostel day celebrations ... She was the fun type ... who was a little bit reserved during our final year, due to personal problems, but nevertheless she is our KB dear, and is a good hearted kid, with a sweet smile, and we do understand her, though we missed her ... she is a bit of a dodo, who can think later and act first ... There were a lot of fun she, Paro and Seetha had together ... and this gal is really a pavam at heart ... :).

She is an active person in the hostel, is usually there for everything, though in the final year she used to go home a lot ... she, neethu, bidhu and all have been upto several mischieves and had spiced up our time in the hostel ... she is very fond of dogs, and had a dog whose name thanks to my bad memory i have forgotten, but I had seen his pic. She had really done several fun stuff during X'mas dares, and all in all she was quite nice to hang out with ... well ... mite update more later ...

Reshmi Namboothiri
This is a girl who is always smiling from end to end ... who is really sensitive and can cry very easily for very small reasons ... she is also a wonderful dancer, though not as expressive as Remya. She, Remya and I have had a lot of fun dancing away to glory in the hostel, hostel tour, etc etc ... and on college day on final year with Rakhi making us a four member dance team ... all the practicing and the fun days ... its all a great memory ... She was always easy to fool too, and I had fun being her Christmas friend!!! In the final year ... but well ... she is a sweet gal, who is pretty and fun ... always getting fooled by Sanni, getting man handled by Deepti and me (all due to her thoughtless provocations ... he he ... she keeps forgetting she is no match!!!)... It i really a lot of fun memories I have of her!!!

She was in the same room with Vidya Jyothi. She is a girl who is always smiling, who is cheerful and nice to have around. She is a simple person, with an easy going manner. We werent that close, but since she and Reshmi Namboothiri happen to be the only other people from IT branch, with Sanni, they were always coming to our room, for studying or writing assignment, or to drag Sanni off to college before she was kicked out of class, coz Sanni was always running around at the last minute and consistently getting late for class ... :D ... So I have been around this gal, and feel good about her as a person ... and so though I wud share my thoughts on her!!!
