Secret Angel

Lakshmi Says…

Arnab Mohanty: The latest entry, popularly known as the Krishna kannaya of the team. I was too happy to see how badly he was fooled in the secret angel game, his shocked, surprised etc face will remain in my memories every Christmas eve. Arnie is on the look out for a perfect life partner the team should encourage him in every possible way they can. My best wishes for you to find the girl of ur dreams, if that does not happen then again you are fooled….

Asheesh Bajracharya: The foreigner of the team. Asheesh is the style statement, he always gives himself the feel good looks. He’s one bindaas guy I can think of! His virtual reality concept (innovative idea) tickles my nerve and I enjoy irritating him (if that’s the way he feels) by relating everything we speak of with it. A fine guitarist, my best wishes for you to pursue ur talent and interest, hope to find your banner someday near my apartment, do send me the concert tickets as well….

Falaque Dani: Mr. Mittu but finds great pleasure in calling himself the Tiger. Speaks as fast as he blinks. I feel he is the kiddo of the team, keenly celebrated children’s day too by distributing chocolates. One thing I cannot forget is he did not bath for almost 10 days or more when he had a minor accident following a girl / aunty. My best wishes for you to keep exploring new ideas, websites etc and creating your originals too.

Jithendra Kumar Bonala: Sherlock Holmes as he loves to be called, in my opinion always a false detective. Mr. Story teller of the team, his sessions are mostly over lunch. Two powerful English words I learnt from him are sumptuous lunch and Frantic Investigation. The true driving force behind team lunch and photo sessions. My best wishes for you to continue being the focal for educating the team with fictitious, mythological and real life stories.

Kalpaga Kanakarajan: The captain of the ship/ tools team. A perfect people manager, she simply rocks. Kalpaga inspires the team with her language and approach for facts, figures and queries.
The originator of the secret angel game and a supporter for all the entertainment actives in the team be it b’day celebrations, team lunch or movies. Kalpaga not only hears to personal sagas but shares her personal life too with all. My best wishes for you to continue bearing with all the inconveniences and pests (mosquitoes, termites, bacteria, virus etc) in the team, Long rule the Lead!

Lokanatha Reddy: The innovation guru of the team or probably entire PAT team. A pucca vegetarian, does not eat even cakes (Maneka Gandhi will be very happy to meet you some day!). Loka is an intelligent, sober and ready to help character. Of the late as others mentioned he has changed for the hero look with trendy T-shirts etc. My best wishes for you to pursue your quest for knowledge and innovation.

Murali Krishna: The tall dark handsome guy in the team. I was shocked to see him go emotional at Jithendra’s farewell. On his birthday the entire team got to get his cubical decorated and that was a fine act of unity, it was so much fun. The best bluff-master in the secret angel game. My best wishes for you to ride round the world on your bike and better change your pillion rider as early as possible.

Nagaraj: English translation says Snake King! The only Kannada speaking guy in the team. A good or not so good singer, but a good entertainer. Nag is a responsible organizer and coordinator. The chicken biriyani fan! The most innocent secret angel, letting all know from where he bought the gift. My best wishes for you to continue with your out-door trekking activities along with long vacations.

Ravindra Tiwary: My poetic secret angel. I can never forget that you booked for an (morning) am train / bus and assumed that it was (evening) pm and had to finally make it up by some available bus in the night. The diwali sweets and savories from your home was simply superb, especially the savories I had asked you to get me the next day too. My best wishes for you to continue penning down those joshelay poems.

Ritu Gupta: The new bride in the team. Highly enthusiastic and energetic like jerry from the famous Tom and Jerry show. By doing a fine work with her KT sessions she put me in a fix to do an equally good job. Reetu can be contacted for all the good eating places in Bangalore, she will guide you with not only how to reach the place but what dish is good there also. I would have enjoyed being your secret angel and confusing you like I did once! My best wishes for you to keep sharing the wonderful pictures you usually do of family, friends, pavitra and you.

Saraswati Minz: The mobile model of the team. One person who always shares her chocolates and dry fruits with me. My anytime and any place companion for lunch. My most memorable lunch with you is at Pizza Hut in forum. I look forward to going for lunch with you when you get your car! My best wishes for you to keep planning and exploring good places for us to dine.

Shweta Mishra: My first friend in the team and a fine artist. The organizer of food from home and must say your chole were really yummy! It was fun and nice to go around with you to big bazaar, Forum etc. I enjoyed fighting with you and being nagged. Visiting your new home before it gets old is my objective for 2009. My best wishes for you to keep up the spirit of our friendly fights and visits.

Vijayanand Manoharan: The lead organizer of the team, be it birthdays, team lunch, team movie etc he will do it in the flash of an eye. All the fun and entertainment in the team is because of Vijay. I did not get to play the secret angel game properly all because of you. Hope one day you marry a girl for what she is and not for your laundry, cooking and taking care of your children. My best wishes for you to continue being a great Rajinikanth fan, Rajini rocks!

Murli Bazi, Taare Gire,
Badh Gayi Tajmahal Ki Bhi Shaan
Chitr Khiche, Chalchitr Chale
Hua Puzzle Ka Kaam Tamaam.

Toffy Par Toffy Bate,
Gifto Ke Lage Ambaar,
Jisne Dekha Usne Puchha,
Kya Suru Kiya Koi Naya Karobaar?

Khel To Ek Bahaana Hai,
Paas Sabko Lana Hai
Risto Ko Aur Majbut Banaanaa Hai,
Ye Raaj Sabne Jaana Hai.

Kahe Kavi, Suno Sabhi,
Dekho Tools Team Ki Chaal Nayi,
Dil Me Saaz, Hotho Par Aawaz,
Badhe Inkaa Vishwash Un Hi,
Sabse Khaas Aur Sabke Saath,
Ujjwal Ho Nit Inki Chhawi.
