My Epitaph - by My-Team@Work

Epitaph. I am no Yeats to compose a beautiful epitaph to be engraved on my own tomb stone. But, despite being a fan of Richard Feynman and one of his many amazing books, What Do You Care, What Others Think?, I would definitely be curious to know what would people around me write on my epitaph, given a chance.

Yes, that's a bit too philosophical and far fetched. The context here is much lighter. My team had a chance to write something about me in the last month's news letter at work, and this is what they wrote:


For people in Bangalore office, Srinivas don't need any kind of introduction. For those across the oceans, Srinivas is the star of the XYZ team. He is as cool as a cucumber and never gets agitated (non-sober modes - see K for Kabini and S for Serai - are excluded here :) ). He is always very passionate about anything he does - be it book reading or doing tech talk or bug fixing or running marathons or going on long road trips. Some people believe that his skills as image consultant or PR person is very under utilized! Introduction on Srinivas won't be complete if there was no mention of his strong atheist belief and his hatred for God Men (or God). He also presents this dual personality wherein he is fully vegetarian within India and stays away from vegetables when he is abroad. He could be afraid of our 'holy cows' or maybe it is the synthetic vegetables in the West that scares him to eat non-veg. Whatever the quirks, we all love our "Cycle Sini" :)

Kabini & Serai were two places, where our office took us for over-night outings in the last one year. Naturally, there was a big opportunity to commit some chemical sins and a chance to put up some show after that.

I always struggle to fill 'about me' that shows up in social networking or blogging accounts. It was nice to get it written by others. Thanks team, particularly for the last few words. :)
