Apart from the below, I did quite a few i-don't-know-why-they-are-useful-but-i-can't-live-without-them things. I talked with Koushik, Arun, and Lakshmi for a long time after a long time. (apart from Reddy, ofcourse) About our lives, events and others. Egotist, that I am, it was one-sided as most times it is. But then, it is they who make it one-sided and not me!

• Arun's enjoying the VLSI course at IITM and says he can help me out with my GATE prep in devices and circuits. you know, he is a wiz in Semiconductor devices now. (Huh! What a Pandoo!)
• Kou is going on with his microwave design work at India's Only Space Agency. Another area, I don't have a clue about.
• Lux is stuck with his current work at a services major, looking to get out. Huh! He definitely deserves a better deal. Man, I will kill you, if you get into BSNL.

I also talked with Aani, who is to be praised for his extraordinary patience and perundhanmai in accepting me as his gaming opponent in Chess. I don't play most often. Even if I did, I am not even 1% as proficient as him thus providing only dumb opposition! The main part of the talk was about that endowment thing that we had planned. I am sort of pessimistic about it now. But you know, some pushing and prodding will always do the job.
