How to waste 20 minutes with Sunil Dsouza ?

This is a true incident and note that I took the decision to follow him. The rest - he has nicely taken care off :) 5:00pm: Martin Computer lab closes down. Followed SD. 5:05pm: Went to the Library but it was summer schedule and was already closed. So, headed to SD's department. Why? Silly! It's closer from out there! Actually, SD wanted to grab his Prof's camcorder. 5:10pm: Got into Rigg's Elevator. Takes about a minute to open/close the doors and 3 minutes to reach 3rd floor. 5:15pm: Reached his office. Suddenly, he gets a thought, "Why do we need a camcorder anyway?". 5:20pm: Left Riggs.

Beeshness

One of my childhood hobbies was running fake business. I would have a company with different divisions and each would handle a part of the activities I was involved in. Since, as a child, I was mostly involved with sports and games, most of my company's division was in sports. The best part about the business I liked was giving names to the company's divisions. For cricket, it was ViCri and for music it was Vi Music. I used to get sponsors for these too. They were nothing but the pens, stationary, electronics and commercials I got influenced from. I guess sometime in my life, I'll be running a business for real. Willing to be partners with friends. Like Ankur. He can be a good business partner as he defeated the Mysore-Shetty in Monopoly :) or I could take the Mysore-Shetty as my partner. Shettys are a lucky lot. Or I have the power-hungry DSouza, the great politician Pamya or Rutvij the gujjubhai. Am just wondering of a company with all these great people =))
