May 26, On saturday night we went to the Bangalore Alumni meet. There were some well known guys out there including Pepsi's Rajiv Bakshi. But the guy who caught my attention was Benoy, an IIT/IIM guy who was once my classmate. He's done rather well for himself. He's got one of the best jobs on offer. But the reason i mention him is because at a point of time I kinda disliked him. Its not that he did anything wrong or said anything wrong. Its just that somewhere we didn't get along quite well.

The full significance of the statement hit me only a few moments later when in response to my constants blabber about myself he remarked, "You must be wanting to talk to my daughter". And the daughter Shoili had done her PG from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication.
