Snap taken when we went to Ooty back in 1993. This was our first and most memorable trip (EOST as we named it). It happened sometime after our Class XIIth exams. Hmmm.. The second person from the right seems to be a deep thinker, eh? Well, he is the most absent minded of the lot. He is Rajiv S and works as a Software Engineer in Philips, Bangalore. Never sends any mails to his friends.
The person on the extreme left is now Dr. Sandesh Chakravarthy. Wonder what he will do with his patients? One of the very few doctor friends I have!
Sanjay N , leftmost in the snap works for Hyperion. He recently got married! He was the first and the only guy so far in our group to get married!
Rohit A in the center currently completed his ME at IISc. Bangalore. He is coming to Cornell for his PhD.
Srinivas GK in the extreme right is currently enjoying his life doing MS/PhD at Columbia, New York. We used to have long conversations lasting hours over the telephone. He doesn't like to create his home page and wants me to create one for him!
