So here is what I could come up with, based on my 25 years of experience (Sorry people, thats an inside joke that only Renuka Wariyar understands :P), in trying to describe this charismatic individual who is an effective negotiator, one who can analyze negotiation situations, develop a strategic plan for effective harnessing of synergy at various levels, can help you gain an intellectual understanding of second derivatives of conversations, develop interpersonal strategies for increasing your human capital, and increase your emotional intelligence:
His favourite song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tH32hZxyfk
His favourite movies: movies without: Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Preity Zinta, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Aishwarya Rai, Kapoor sisters, Rani Mukherjee, and preferably any such name which people would have heard of.
Bring him a movie directed by Kundan Shah, and acted upon by K.K.Raina, Deepa Shah, with music by Bhagwan Maaji, and i bet he will love it!
His favourite drinks: Scotch- only Laphroaig, Wine- we don't quite know how to spell it, but I know its from Chile (at times he ends up liking California wines served specially on British Airways), and these are considered only when he runs out of his mahua supplies.His favourite vegetable: zucchini
His favourite activity in Association for India's Development: printing fliers! (We are already worried about where to get fliers printed from after he leaves)
His favourite phrase: "So,..so.. see.. no, no.. see, you have to understand why.. "
I think I should stop here, otherwise the next few days will be really unhealthy for me. But please feel free to put in your valuable comments.
Thanks!
yes yes....we WILL miss Samik. :)
ReplyDeleteOh don't forget avocado as his another favorite vegetable!
ReplyDeleteSome famous jokes by Samikda (he thought they are funny so we think that they might be funny)
ReplyDelete1.Gharonda and Parinda are sequels. The third movie in this sequence is Darinda. (HA HA HA)
2.No joke! He christened Tathagata as Mowgli and gifted him a Boomerang on his (-3)rd birthday! Unfortunately the joke partially backlashed when he was promptly named Baalu.
Some truth that very few people know about him :
1. He sings and sings only when atleast two people around him are singing. The only small problem is the other two people will soon have to stop singing once he starts cause his scale is too high to match with ordinary singers. Sometimes himself! :)
2. His previous feats in Boston include his onstage appearance as an invalid newspaper-hawker with one leg and a golden voice. Though he refused to give away one leg for the sake of the performance he acted with bravado and deep sensitivity with both legs, a bad limp and a crutch. Till today many people identify him with that role he played - "Samik.....who's...oh the limping newspaperseller? How is he doing?"
His favourite phrase: "So,..so.. see.. no, no.. see, you have to understand why.. "
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! How true!!
Arrey mujhe apne baap ko visit karna hai.. he came to New Jersey for some work... nahi tho I woud really want to go to the farewell picnic! I think I will miss Samik's laughter the most, uska pura chehra would change, nose would wrinkle up etc. Genuine laughter is so valued in a friend!
