of Badri

It has been a great year..

Can't believe it has passed so fast..

And that we are Ug1 no more.


Anyway , since Badri has been hogging all the blogging limelight in IIIT, I guess it would be interesting if I spoke a bit about him.

When I first met Badri in IIIT ( outside Lab 1 I think ) , it was quite a moment of relief for me. "Badrinath Srinivasan ", said he , " Tamil from Mumbai". One Tamil Sangam member had found another , that too one with a more than decent knowledge of computers. We truly seemed to have a lot in common .

End of nice story.

It took less than a few days for Badri to to shed his cover and expose his true self. Seemed God had given him a boon of inexhaustible sarcasm towards me, just like Arjuna's inexhaustible quiver of arrows. I'd need to be deaf to bear him for more than 5 minutes.

But soon I realised that Badri wasnt dying to pick just on me , but it was everybody in general. "To hell with mister nice guy", thought I , "just keep away from the prick."

A few months down the lane , I finally began to understand him. It wasnt that he poked everyone around him on purpose , he just couldn't help it . The guy who seemed like a sarcastic prick from the outside was actually quite a nice guy inside, you just needed to know the right way to handle him.

Badri is quite intelligent , good at all subjects in general and ITWS and programming in particular. But for all his intelligence , I think he still has something to learn.

Badli, if you are reading this , then get this straight. You need to change. Become a bit more appreciative of things around you. You can't live through life critisising every rock that comes in front of you. Change , arse !

Hope u take this in the right sense.

Hope the next 3 months change you at least a slight bit.

Damn , no blood.
