My FSL Gang..

My office was full of all sorts of people with distinctive characteristic traits which had a influence on me in the last 2 years.They were a part of my experience in FSL. So here I go.
The characters are perfectly true people ..and no offences meant to anybody..
But to think of it , this is my space and I am free to write all that I felt..;)
The beginning of professional life was marked by a series of presentations in the office by the HR people , some technical sessions most of which went over the head, but none of us was ready to accept the fact. 

We were 4 new people in our team, AB , DG me n SM.Had already interacted with AB during the induction so knew him but,had not much idea bout SM and DG.
AB is this complete freak, who goes mad when he is in a party.He claimed to have spent 30-40%of his time in my cubicle during my tenure there. A very genuine person, serious to the core when it comes to the technical discussions and also the philosophies of life, but chilled out otherwise .He troubled me a lot during the time I was there. specialy when I had the maximum work to do. So in a way I account my efficiency in hostile conditions to him..:).Here I am very keen to mention his inclination towards Bangalore for some reasons but me like a goodie friend would not make things difficult for him.He has been my closest pal in office . The perfect foodie and the north indianised version of a Kannadiga..AB continues to inspire , those under him now, he already has a few bhakts there..Good going AB,and I hope you don't forget your promises!!!

DG was so wonderful with his oneliners always.I gotta know of his humourous side quite late and missed a lot of fun on that , but he was always smiling in the most stressful situations ! A perfect mimic and fun and wit personified..I still remember the fits of laughter we had while playing the pictionary form of dumb charades(a game we developed then) in the tech symposium.We just went mad laughing!!I hope none of the presenters are reading this!The news of his marriage came as a pleasant surprise to all of us! He is also responsible for me working under distractions.But he was courteous enough to atleast ask..A major consumer of my stock of toffees, DG was always the one to get us the maximum extra work fom his weird ideas which we used to experiment on!!!

SM the perfect scientist, going in the details of the device was his catch!!and he was actually good at that.Mostly found staring at the Wikipedia..rather that Wikimapia..finding great pieces of art and sending it across to us.SM is a thinker , a philosopher and a mini library!!There was Don who had the weirdest collection of songs and he used to play them on and on never realizing that me in the adjacent cubicle , and others around used to hate that!I think he made some record or something playing kajrare.He never left a single chance of targeting us with his jokes.I don’t think he has missed any of us in that!He gave me my nick in office which I hated completely, it made no sense actually. Don to save you from the public hostility and your image I am not mentioning that here!! 
VK was the perfect combination of wit n humour and serious humour .His superb comments on situations and especially the lyricized version of the situations was fun.I share this special laughter moment with him ,where both of us were almost into tears.A complete techno person , I remember how he longed for the best phones in the market and then buy them every now n then!He had a killing sense of innovation. Remember the Ohm’s law criterion for kal ho na ho!!(ref to our pictorial dumb charades).For others who don't know VK drew a simple circuit which he wanted us to interpret as Ohm's Law and then rhyme with Kal Ho Na Ho ..That was amazing!!Simply outstanding!!
PB was the most silent of them all. Her diligence was an example for all of us. She seldom indulged in any kind of cross cubical informal conversations that we had.She always had some work to do, be it exploring a new tool or experimenting , PB was the person.she was a storehouse of knowledge as well as a lot snack munching was sourced by her.She had all kinds of biscuits, low fat , creamy , cheesy , sweet all of them. She gets the well dressed award in my team. A genuinely helpful person , all of us thought second time before being naughty with her.VK and PB used to pick up arguments so often and it was fun to watch them argue!! 
PA was the greatest of them all.With his fan following extending all over Freescale,India and even abroad , he was the favourite of everybody. TG came in later next year and he in AB’s follower completely, in times of making fun..especially making fun of me. He has been my technical adviser for all laptop related queries and my source of a lot of good movies n serials.He literally took the status report from me , about my progress on the stuff he gave me to watch!!
Our trip to Vaishno Devi was a memorable one.VNP was a discovery in he trip.He was the one to give me the maximum amount of respect .."NikitaJi"..With dreams in his eyes to make it really big VNP is a very sincere chap, not that others are not but with VNP was this silent dark horse toiling it hard till he got the solution.Or else he would call up n say “Sorry to disturb u Nikitaji..blah blah..”.I wish I could upload his description of the trip.Super it was!!!We all a great time.

MS joined in late.And brought with him some 3years of experience but he gelled with the team very soon.Sharing your first name with the manager makes things tricky at times.. I remember the time when MS had his son , n I had my nephew , we discussed the weirdest things related to the infants growing up.it was so much fun..
Who have I left..oh yeah AA..my dear Ani..My TT partner, scrabble partner.She reminded me of the time when I had joined in.The girl after my own heart! Ani has all traits to make it big.She was the one to rescue me from all the leg pulling coz once she arrived, she became the target!!TG and me had a good time teasing her.She will make it to the TT championship this year!Still miss the time I had with her. Once she started laughing it was difficult to make her stop.She would go on n on!! Endlessly!!
All of them were so delighted to hear my result, and each a different message to give..with lots of best wishes.I am so thankful to them for being my support system during the tough times!
The time I had with all these wonderful people has left an indelible mark on me! And I had so much to learn from each of ya!!!
Miss you guys...
