Havoc at Bangalore!

Since the day our best boy has left for Austin, even the skies have been crying their heart out in Bangalore.

There have been reports of wide spread gloom in Bangalore. Everybody is wishing that our best boy's stay is not extended by anything more than what is scheduled. :(

Chant the new mantra

Likeable boy Vishal.
Kind boy Vishal.
Best boy Vishal.

(This mantra is proven to appease our best boy)

Don't panic

Taking into account the sensation caused by our previous post, we request the faithful followers of best boy not to panic. We have been assured by "He-who-must-not-be-named" himself that the name/title of "Best boy" will hold along with the usage of the new name of "Elk".

Best boy being rechristened? :O

Rumors have it that "He-who-must-not-be-named" is addressing our best boy as Elk of late. We bring to you the latest of the news to expose this fact.

Our sleuths covered the entire crime scene on the 4th floor of National Instruments office at Koramangala. They spoke to eye (or rather ear) witnesses and it is now confirmed that best boy is also called Elk. "He-who-must-not-be-named" has categorically denied any allegations that this rechristening was planned on 4th of September in the team meeting.

This bizarre phenomenon was explained by "He-who-must-not-be-named" himself. On being asked how the name was chosen, "He-who-must-not-be-named" replied with a rather curt reply that an elk was some kind of "deer" and since our best boy was "dear" to all, he was named "Elk". Our sources are not convinced with the answer though it makes sense. Stay with us as we unravel the mystery and bring out the secrets behind the rechristening.

Tending to platinum...

Our best boy showed again how big his heart is. "He-who-must-not-be-named" needed a drop to the office and all he had to do was call our best boy. Our best boy not only dropped "He-who-must-not-be-named" to the office but he also picked him from his home which is about 1 mile from our best boy's home. "He-who-must-not-be-named" is so lucky to have best boy as his friend.

Bugging Best boy

Our Best boy found a bug in LabVIEW. The impact of which, is not known to "He-who-must-not-be-named". Oh bugs, beware the Best boy! There is only way for you, "out of code"...

The chosen one!

Our best boy has chosen to honor "Bharti Airtel", the flagship company of Bharti Enterprises. Best boy evaluated (not much though) and found that Airtel's postpaid plan suits his needs the best. One can't help but wonder how proud the Airtel people must be feeling now that Best boy uses their GSM network.

Airtel is headed no way but to the zenith with this one sale. Blessed be Airtel!

(PS: "He-who-must-not-be-named" thinks that divulging information about the number would make life very tough for Best boy, considering his popularity)

Floaters! Yipee!!!

Best boy's fans have an occasion to celebrate. There is much rejoice that our best boy got a new pair of Nike ACG floaters. Yipee!!! Blessed be the shop owner who provided those best feet, floaters of size 12.

Golden upgrade

We now have concrete proof that our best boy indeed has a heart of gold. "He-who-must-not-be-named" had got a headache on Friday evening and was feeling feverish. Our best boy offered "He-who-must-not-be-named", a lift home. That was such a kind gesture on his part!

The better part of the story and which actually prompted the upgrade -> Best boy went ahead an extra mile in rush hour traffic and took all the troubles to see to it that "He-who-must-not-be-named" got to his house safe and sound. What an angel!!!
Karma rating increment for this act of kindness -> 1.2

But our best boy messed up his karma rating by jokingly suggesting that "He-who-must-not-be-named" should have participated in "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa". How could he do that after listening to his singing?!!! The very thought of "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" arising in his mind after listening to that hoarse singing cuts points.

Heart of Silver...

"He-who-must-not-be-named" went home early yesterday since he wasn't feeling well. Today, our best boy asked him what the reason was for the early departure yesterday. Our best boy even asked "He-who-must-not-be-named" to take care.
Blessed be "He-who-must-not-be-named"!

PS: (Silver -> "He-who-must-not-be-named" believes that best boy has a heart of gold but needs more actions to corroborate the fact)

Curse the thief!!!

Our best boy (mind it ladies and gentlemen, our best boy) lost his floaters on 09/09/2007. His beloved Nike ACG (size -> 12). Damned be the thief who stole the floaters in the middle of the night.

Our best boy had tried (and tried and tried and tried...) hard to find floaters of his size and fortunately had found one to fit him. Now that it is gone forever, he has switched to his Reebok shoes.

I can't help but wonder, "How can the thief get a good night's sleep? Won't he be troubled by Vishal's legs haunting his dreams? Those bare legs!" Che! Best boy's floaters!!!
