His prof liked his research on corrosion so much that he almost refused to let doddai go. After using a lot of his spare cunning, which he was once so confident would take him to the top of the FBI, doddai managed to wriggle out; and continuing to perform the unlikely, found himself a job in a small town in Montana. Rumour has it that he is the only non-caucasian to have ever set foot in that picturesque little northern town. (What's the name of the company). His current favourite pass time is to drive across montana to the Washington border to visit the nearest desi grocery store and stock up on puli and rasam powder and also meet up with OGB who comes from Seattle just to meet doddai. In May 2003, Doddai got engaged to Niranjana and they tied the knot on July 9 in Madras. Anxious folks may rest assured that our dearest doddai has not changed one bit and retains his old grace and poise in dealing with ottals :)

Sometime in 2001, I believe, he became the first guy in our batch to contract a communicable disease (chicken pox) while in the US. In another, unrelated, incident one random american teenager, after he totalled gidu's car and drove away said he ran away because Gidu looked like a middle eastern muslim and that that terrified him. Sat Jul 19 2003 - Gidu graduated from Iowa State in early 2003 and moved to the bay area where he is a post doctoral student at the Chemical Engineering department of Stanford University.

The profs liked him and his work so much that they retained him (and his project mate) for a few more months so they could interact with them on a more personal level. Amidst all this he managed to take up a developer position with Next Set pvt ltd. where he worked for two years. After two years of Lsu, the company is now almost bankrupt and essentially on its deathbed. Lsu shrewdly made the jump to neighbouring Isoft ltd. for whom the countdown now begins :) Lsu got married to Ramya in May 2003 (got engaged in September 2002) The two met at Next Set where Ramya was working in HR. A new high standard for wedding gifts was set, when a carrom board was presented on behalf of our batch to Lsu and Ramya! May Lsu and Ramya stay forever young at heart.

Wed Mar 09 2005: Ponns made the move to Canada in January 2005, and I have just heard from him that life has settled into a good rhythm. He will be teaching Mechanical Engineering subjects to undergrads at McMaster University. By some strange coincidence, Nandakumar of the class of '96 is currently doing a post doc at McMaster.

He graduated in 2000 and joined Dabur, where he is busy becoming "under se strong" by downing kilos of chawanprash, to compensate for his new found love for products from ITC. In November 2003, PV left Dabur and joined Madura Coats. After a brief training period in Bangalore, he shifted to Jaipur. In a private communication PV suggested that my earlier reference to his 'new found love for products from ITC' is inaccurate, in as much as it is incomplete. Thus I am obliged to add that our good friend is a passionate consumer of offerings from UB distilleries, Mohan Meakin and other related businesses.

2001-03-20 2005-08-01 Vaidyanathan v_raman1@yahoo, rvaidy1@msn 15 Mar eGroups-EW/0.82, Yahoo Groups Message Poster Raman was the first of the trinity to join the department of chemistry at U Georgia, Athens, where his excellent work paved the way for admissions for mama and later madhi. He is winding up his Ph.D. in chemistry. Raman holds the record for taking the longest time to make his first visit home after going for his Ph.D. (4.5 years). In April 2003, Raman successfully defended his thesis, graduated from UGa, and moved on to accept a post doc position with Arizona State University. Tue Jul 20 2004: Raman is now in North Carolina State university's Electrical and Computer Engineering. Wed Mar 09 2005: As of November 2004 Raman moved to Portland to work for Intel. He is supposedly having a nice time, what with a 6 month comfy training period and stuff. KSK, who also works at the same facility, was down in Madras for his sister's wedding (Chander of the class of 2000 is now KSK's BIL. You may recall KSK got married to his B.Tech classmate Sirisha. Isn't there a limit on the number of B.Techos in a family before there would be an implosion due to too great a concentration of gray matter? Anyway...) and when questioned about Raman's recent move, expressed grave concerns for the future of Intel. As things stand Raman goes by the title of 'Packaging Engineer'. I am sure it means something other than what you think it does.

2001-01-05 2005-03-09 1 Jun Venkatraman Apple Mail (2.619) Sox went to the Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah where he is pursuing his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at a rather leisurely pace, while thoroughly enjoying the good life scenic Utah has to offer. The dry desert like utah weather has suited sox particularly well, and appears to have solved his painful asthma problems. Between frequent visits to the Delta center and Karra's apartment in Salt Lake City, Sox managed to get some research going on the combustion of rocket fuels. He expects his work to eventually land him a job with ISRO or DRDO. This is, after all, just rocket science, says the ever humble sox. Tue Jul 13 2004: Sox finished his phd around end of 2003 and is continuing as a post doc. in the same departtment.
