friends and team tnt

Friends and team tnt will continue for a while.

Vernen.

How does one describe him ? Student? Foreigner? Friend? How do u know him ? Customer ? Employee ?

Well he just walked in one day "for the airconditioning" ! I was at the counter, as usual, i was filling in for somebody. Mid afternoon. And we got talking. After the initial where are u from, why India to study ....I frankly didn't expect to see him again. But he was then staying in Sriram nagar and had to walk to Kamal often. So we started seeing him more often.

Our discussions have ranged from people, attitudes, culture, mythology, girls, professionalism, work front, his sisters, world, business, software ... his parents, backgrounds, cancer and chemeo, bonding, mother's side for family ....... so much. Countless. The Durshet trip was good. He dnt make it to Kamshet - that was in summer.

Vernen's address in Pune ... c/o twistntales. People come to tnt looking for him. Srinivas, Devashish, Ramgopal Rao .... the friends that he has made here .. whats it about him ? Polite ? Gentle to a fault ? No class consciousness ... Krishna, Prashant and Ravi Bhaiyya were his friends too... I m going to miss him terribly. Lunch is never going to be the same !

For Vernen, the degree has come at a cost. I know what he means. Good Luck, Vernen. May you find a great job and that someone to share your life with. You deserve it. And dont forget that Cape to Cairo trip......in a GMC truck with a lot of S. African Indian kids with nan for Company ! Count me in !
