Who we are?

Beware!!.. This is not about me trying to find out the meaning of life or anything from universal point of view (I just thought u might be confused by the title).I am just gonna introduce my fellow bloggers contributing to this blog. So lets not waste anymore time frittering around.

Let me start with "veejar". He is the grand old bachelor of our group. Now, don't get the idea that he is septuagenerian or something. He is just about 30 and is still "happy", or atleast thats what he says. But somehow everyone keeps telling him to get married soon. I was also one of them, but then he found something to irritate me with.. And we came to a amicable truce!! He is a very interesting person and has peculiarities associated.
One of them is that he drinks only wine. Forget about me, even he doesn't know why?..
Another one I can think of is, wait for it... he can only swim underwater!! I mean, "What is that all about?". But all in all, a great guy and we are expecting some great blogs from you.

This is something that struck me now. As I have started with veejar's intro, now I am thinking y not go in the descending order of seniority in the company.If that is the order to be followed then I am gonna have to say something about "Silver Surfer" now. He is the trekker of the group. He has climbed every hill and mountains of all sizes and shapes in and around Karnataka. But u should also know that if u are travelling with him, and Mysore, his home town, is on the way to the destination in all probability he will get down on the way and go home. Therefore, whenever we plan for a trip we make sure that we don't go near Mysore.Another behavior which can be attributed to this guy is his forgetfulness. He has treated us with ice-cream many times, for safeguarding his iPod when he forgot abt it and left it in the office. But the best incident of his forgetfulness is the one which took place in Mysore. This guy goes to a shop to buy newspaper on his bike, and walks back home reading the newspaper!!.. He he.. I couldn't stop laughing when he told me abt that.

Next in line is Khartoum. A very composed and reserved guy. I have nothing about this guy which is funny. But the only time I have seen this guy lose his composure is when he saw the number of cosmetic containers in Phoenix's drawer!!. I am telling you... That was one priceless expression on his face.

Coming to Cosmos, he is one of the most brilliant guy technically. And he hails from a very culturally rich town of Madurai. And he returned from his trip to US of A just about a month ago.He is a very lean guy and has a waist size of 2 mm. The intriguing thing about him is the fact that though he is non-veggie, he does not eat chicken. That is, he does not mind eating meat as far as it is not chicken. And when I asked him the reason.. His answer was equally intriguing.. "I don't like birds man... Don't like them".

Phoenix.. I have to many things to say about him, which it self will take about two posts of normal size. But as an introduction I would say that he is the Don of our brotherhood. He is the guy whom u would like to talk to when u wanna arrange a party. Keeps eating raw vegetables and fruits in the office. Gets washington apples everyday to office and does not give me even a bite, though he knows that I like apples very much. Recently lost a bet with the rest of the team, where he was supposed to become size zero in a span of two months, but still claims that he is very fit and lean. His trick is that he pulls his stomach in whenever he is with us and breathes very slowly. So now we want to clear the fallacy and he is under 24-hour observation, wherein one of us will be watching him at all points of time till he breaks his act and the paunch is revealed. One more striking feature abt this guy is his hair. It is about 4 feet long, and it provides home to many endangered species of birds. A great guy to hangout with.

Nithin.. The Big guy. Can take upto 5 normal sized asians at once. Techincally the most amazing guy I have ever seens in my entire life. I mean.. I have never seen so much passion for technology in anybody till now. There is not a single subject related to computers that he does not have an idea about. Other than that, he hates people who don't pay tax.

Pramit..He hasn't yet chosen his pseudonym.Nonetheless, he is the guy with karizma.. The bike and character also. He is one of the juniors who joined the company about an year ago along with me. Has many "secret" girl friends all around the city. Plays squash with veejar and Phoenix. Was beaten black and blue by Phoenix on one ocassion. And he hasn't yet heard the end of it. In addition to performing his normal duties, he also is an informal dietician to Phoenix.

Finally coming to Slash. It's me. I didn't choose this psedonym because I like Guns N' Roses. Slash is the name of my favorite bionic bot in Quake 3 Arena. I am the guy who is genenrally the laughing stock of the group. Actually, just about half an hour ago, I got a message from one of the other teammate that he and his wife were blessed with a baby girl. And gladly I announced it to the team, and they started laughing at me as they had recieved the news before me. So, "veejar" the senior most blogger has proposed an algorithm that I need to follow if I don't want people to make fun of me. "First think, then talk?". Thats easy, but not working out very well for me. Other than that, I am a trader and I love beer. Coming to forgetfulness, I am at par with Silver Surfer. Recently locked the maid inside the house when coming to office. But I really didn't know she was there. Thats about me. Don't believe in blowing my own trumpet. (Reality is.. There is no trumpet.)

Thats all folks. We will be back with more serious stuff and issues that need to be addressed and are causing problems to our country and more.
Till then, take care.

How it all started?
