Introductions and re-introductions.

Sushi has not yet accepted the warm welcome and invitation OO......Oh! has extended. So I will refrain from introducing her till she actually is a part of our authors community.

The rest of you strap up the ride is about to begin. (I am doing this in random order). It would be great if all of you could add to this in the comments section.

Pree/Preethi : I met her for the first time in the ice cream shop (I forgot the name :-\) on Vishnu's 2o something b'day 2006. (How old were you Vishnu?) Oh! got it corner house. First impression calm person. Did that last??? hmm She can sketch, write and bake among other things. She keeps moving from place to another in India with her husband Shyam. Shyam works for the army. (Right?). She was the one and only member of the Gree's phone fan club. :D (Remember?).

Guru : I used to chat with him much much before I actually met him. If I am not wrong I have seen him only twice.(Alva?). He is a corporate trainer. Claims he never gets angry. I have been told his water bottle and he were inseparable. He is almost always confused. He is even confused about his confusion sometimes :). A perfect son (He claims in his blog). He said to hell with UK and came trotting right back to Bengaluru. He is my inspiration. :D I would like to do a Guru sometime.

Aparna/Aps/btsvoice : I met Aparna at Rangashankara. First impression very strict person. Well, I don't think so anymore (Good or bad?) She is a very simple person with a lovely smile. She has lived in Pune. She likes to eat idli, upma, shavige and other dishes at a small place near the Malleshwaram Railway station. An introduction of Aps by me will not be complete without mentioning her husband Srihari Mukesh. Now I won't say more or this will turn out to be an introduction of Srihari Mukesh.

KP/Krispa/Krishna Pavan : Looks are deceptive is the best description of KP. He can get really angry and upset but will go to great lengths to hide it. Krishna believer, chess player, invisible man are some of the other words I use to introduce him to others. Korea and India are like adigemane bacchalmane for KP. Highly philosophical. I like chatting with him and most of the times agree with what he says but usually give him a totally different perspective. He then goes to lengths to convince me about his perspective. :) KP I forgot what you call your bike?

Chitra/Chi : Hey Chi long time. Chitra was my colleague =). Sings very well. Chi and I used to like the same songs. She is a creative person.(She designed all funky looking training material in office). She has a daughter whom I have not yet seen. She has not even sent a picture of her X-(. She was very popular in college and is a kannada activist of sorts.

Vishnupriya/Vishnu/Vee/Sleepyface : haha! Now tell me what you want to know about him? ;) Presently learning Spanish, a very trustworthy friend to have, multi talented in short. He is like an onion the more you know him the more layers you will find but he won't make you cry like one. Well since all of us know him. (Yes Aradita knows him too). Yes meet madidhya neenu.

Aradita/DK/Macho woman/Divya : Yo People, Aradita is none other than Divya. My engineering classmate. I still remember the first day in Engineering when I met Divya. I remember what she was wearing and what we spoke. I am not sure why I remember all that in so much detail.(Cause I don't remember any of the other people I met that day). But it is true. She is a very very good friend. She takes time to open up. But if you stick around patiently for long enough you would give yourself the treat of a great friend. She does not talk much. But when she talks oh boy does she hit the nail on the head. Divya can sing well. She is now on my insistence trying to write too. She went on to do her Master's in Embedded systems from Manipal and is presently sitting at home waiting for my return and Wipro to give her a joining date. She did a year long internship with Intel and traveled on the same bus as Sushi. Well I can write an entire blog about her and all the interesting things we have done together(Ex: How she punched a glass window to earn the name macho woman, How we tried to make avalakki bonda and ended up with plain avalakki with 0.5 lt ogarne in it etc etc)...

Last but not the least...
Me :) Just another one of you.
Well looking forward to your comments and inputs.
