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 ... :).
