Name: B (Name changed to protect Identity)
Sex: Male
Age: Lieutenant General (The Second highest post in the Indian Army :))
Height: 5’ 10’’
Brain:Body Mass = A Tamilian.
K-gyan: To the ignorant, Tamilians (Thamizhians to be precise) are the most learned of all… we have the highest neuron density and can solve any problem in with the twinkle of an eye. P-earth featured in the blog earlier also belonged to this category and so does the author of the blog :).
I know for sure that writing a blog about my immediate superior at work, B , would not be getting me into a soup ( I might get loads of work… but no physical harm), for he is the greatest sport I have known.
Had he been a little more “sportier” he would be featuring in a sports blog instead of mine.
K-gyan: A sports blog (not to be confused with a sports bra), is a blog which has contents similar to one found here http://th14.blogspot.com and is generally maintained by a sports freak… who either follows the sport too closely and idolizes a sports person to be his god (as is the case here) or by news casters… they may also be owned by sports personalities themselves. (J-Ess u owe me big time for advertising your blog here…)
I know very little about my GL (Yes he is my GL, and is the same “GL” featured in the earlier blog) primarily because he is not very outgoing on his emotions, unless compelled or driven by passion for payback (which seldom is the case) and secondly because of a language barrier (reason being I don’t speak Tamil fluently and he doesn’t speak Hindi, and we are forced to converse in English, so its just work related conversation that takes place)
Personality wise he is a typical south Indian Don Juan, who is not afraid to make the first move, be it professional or personal and he generally comes thru without a mess. (To be taken literally… and in the broader sense)
For now, Ill stick to the professional side, Even though the personal front is much more interesting.
As already mentioned, he is our GL, and his responsibilities include but are not limited to (read on… you would understand the significance of this statement) managing a group , to keep them happy and once in a while elevating the alcohol content by Spiking water with Vodka.
But apart from the above mentioned sufficient conditions for a GL he also sees to it we, the team members, are knowledgeable in every possible project that our company has to offer, so that when the time comes, we can seamlessly replace any individual in any project irrespective of technology and business.
With a superior South Indian Brain this is very insignificant to comprehend, But in the course of action what he generally forgets is that he just has a handful of resources whose cranial capacity is working at his bus speed, and a large majority (I can count 1) reel under the stress and over clock their processors, and all that is left on the face is a priceless “Still Loading …..” expression.
K-gyan: Overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component (metaphorically referred to processors here) to run at a higher clock rate (Metaphor for “Think”) than designed or designated by the manufacturer (Metaphor for “GOD”). The major disadvantage arising out of it is that it has a risky potential to end in a failure ("heat death"). Most companies do not back up defunct units, which are a result of overclocking activities, in their warranties. (personally I love K-gyan… it lets me open up ).
His interests are varied and include Listening to SI music (SI = South Indian), Cooking, Partying, Vodka Drowning, Spiking Water, and the latest addition to the list Real Estates. This guy finances 50% of the properties, which are under development in the city; the other 50% are thru Banks and other financial institutions.

He is a great party animal and gels well with everyone in the team, He is a technical wizard who knows every single code that was ever written in our company, and can actually pinpoint the line number where you can find the required code snippet to reuse.
Having spent close to 5 years with the company, he also has a lot of friend’s world wide (there is not one place, where a sane visitor would travel, that he hasn’t got a friend…).
Justification: With my blogs being more popular with the denser crowd… I need to get into the minutest detail of everything… had I not written the line above, I would have definitely got a mail asking me if my GL has a friend in “Jhumritalaiya”.
He generally is fearless when it comes to getting a project for the team , generally gets it and sees it thru (With such a great team it is very difficult “not” to meet the schedule on time… and after shepherd’s departure… well it had stayed that way… no hard feelings sheph) . That is one of the reasons that our PM is so keen on having him with the project, that all of his onsite objectives have now been reset.
He is an ardent devotee of Super Star Rajanikanth, and he shares his fan base with 61.5 million + Thamizhians who watch in awe as the “Baasha” outruns a bullet to save his mother.
K-gyan: 61.5 million + : The actual population of Tamil-nadu as per google (www.google.com ) on 3rd July 2003, “+” accounts for all other fans not covered in the definition above.
Politically he has an inclination towards AIADMK and “amma” (We can’t blame him here… amma is so healthy… having feasted on long grained south Indian rice that half of Tamil nadu is Inclined towards Poes Garden.).
K-gyan: AIADMK: All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (Why they have the first 2 words in English… beats me…)
Poes Garden: Amma’s residence.
I thought that I did not have enuff knowledge about my GL but by the looks of this blog, I definitely know him a lot better than I had thought of earlier.
Please put your hands together for “The person who everyone would die to accompany for lunch… (Pi included :) )” (I am sorry B… couldn’t resist holding this back…)… The Most helpful and the most respected GL in the entire project … always to “B” ….
