The guys who Matter- part 1 of many

The thing that hurt me most about passing out of school is that i did not have anything much to show for it. Yeah i did have friends and i did have moments with them. But that was the end of that. Just memories... hazy... but still there.

4 years of my college life have gotten over and surprisingly i do have somethings to show for it.

1. yearbook:- a pretty neat idea. Everyone's info packed into one book. Might i add designed by Saneef
2. a t-shirt:- a pretty neat idea again. Although i am not entirely sure whether i will actually get one or not since the person in charge of it has become a bit extravagant off late.
3. my college uniform shirt:- New white shirt man-handled by maniacs with blue/black pen. Apparently everyone has a pretty huge signature and just in case i miss to read the obscentities on the back of my shirt, they have made sure i read it off the front.

For the record i did not write on anyone's shirt. And i considered the possibility that no one would want me to write on their year book. So that pretty much left me with not much options. So here's the first part of a hopefully many-part series. Please note the following points-

• The list is in random order of weird things entering my mind
• Most of the humor will be understood only if you know the guy
• Nicknames are copyrighted
  

The Guys who Matter-1

Deepak "Whizbox" Prakash
AKA's:- JavaMaster, jxta!, Viper, troubleshooter, panchara beater
From the time i have known him, he has been a walking encyclopedia on Java related topics. Ever since i have been "group studying" with him, i have realised that there is nothing more in this world that he would like more than sleeping. If he has decided to sleep, or if he is already sleeping, it would take a bit more than 8.0 on the richter scale to wake him up. But if u do want to wake him, the following tips might come in handy.

• use "fix" and "computer" and "troubleshoot" in same sentence.
• bad mouth java
  
• start a sentence with- "Hey /*insert random girls name here*/ looks sexy"
• visit the site www.orkut.com

Akhil "Jayaraj" Krushnaa
AKA's:- Aki, Akilees, Akiliz, Adonis, Newbie, Newb, Scarfield, Garfield, aewoo, spammer etc etc
Now this is one guy who looks as clueless as you, finds the same dumb things funny just like you, thinks just as dumb like you but be warned... there is a highly efficient brain (with knowledge of all computer languages released so far) behind those blank eyes. Its not his fault they chose to remain off during earthly hours. During exam season there is nothing stopping him from studying except during the time interval of 10:37 pm - 10:54 pm when mysterious things happen to his body. These changes in metamorphism is explained only by what we know as "The zone." The Zone cannot be explained...you would have to see it for yourself.
But here's a hint:- A horse can sleep when it is standing


Sujish " BoOMsLaNg" Babu
AKA's:- Su!,Poooy,What Plans?, mx , newb, noobie, _malum_nahi_
Sui is l337. A conversation with sui can be started quite easily despite what girls might think.
The only thing required is a good knowledge about food and football(default for all guys).
Nothing can wake up sui from his daily ritual of sleeping through the morning...except ofcourse the growl emanating from his own stomach. He is ofcourse the second-best gamer in India in all games..be it CS or AoC.

The fact that he is a blind but die-hard Liverpool fan is the only defect he carries around. Apart from that everyone who has met him will agree - Sui is l3333333t!


Sandeep " BambooBamboo" Menon
AKA's:- Kundan, PC, Menon, Zandy, DPS scandal camera-man, illuminatus, Mongoli
The god of chori and chalus. This guy loves to chori people so much that if he is on his deathbed and he gets one last wish...it would probably be to repeat his infamous bamboo-bamboo "joke".
All things said... there is no one else i would want as a partner in crime. Memorable incidents include interviewing a good-looking female right in front of KR bakes claiming to be conducting a survey for Varkeys, stalking 2 girls from Choice school until they told us their names.. and many many more. Anyone who knows him does realise the difference between 90% and 100%. He strives to get the best out of everybody. One of his hiddent talents is to be able to recreate a MMS scandal. I have known him for a long time...6 years.. and because of that i know the bamboo joke by-heart. But whatever the case Sandeep, you can be my wingman anyday.
