| This is how they described me in the College Yearbook: | What's a guy like him doing in a place like this ? And that's what all of us thought of him. The Chairman of our Mess, saw the Mess out of many a mess, and his first hand knowledge of everything in the market, from refrigerators to chilly sauce, will go a long way when he settles down. Very frank & outspoken SK took everything with a smile, the SMILE that launched 1000 friendships. An Ace at BRIDGE and fairly good at Table Tennis, SK insisted that there are better things in life than games. And one of them were his sweethearts who presently are undergoing the process of elimination, for he is already set for a happy...................... life. We wish him all luck. |
