And they are...
Dinesh Nayak – “Health is Wealth”
Deba Sahoo – “Chicago Bull”
Subhendu Patra – “Techie No 1”
Bijaya Tripathy – “SAP Labs, What next?”
Thought 1: Premium Assets with Zero Depreciation
They are the most precious assets that I built in last 5 years. We fought at times on trivial issues. We enjoyed life to every bit of it. We struggled together for those waterless days at home. We cribbed about every movie that we saw together. We went for dinner to almost every destination in Bangalore. The only thing that I realize now is that every experience made the bond stronger. Now I miss them a lot. I wish I could get an immediate transfer to Bangalore to get my life back. Anyway, that’s part of life. We must stay away from something/somebody to realize it’s/his actual value.
Thought 2: Premium Service @ Zero Cost
Well, they are the ones who I know would help me under any circumstances. Same is the case with me as well. It’s the togetherness that made me feel so confident about them. 5 years and yet I never felt it when I was there. Suddenly I am out of Bangalore and feel the difference. But as I said, we helped each other always without any strings attached to it and hope to continue it in future as well.
Thought 3: Unique Brands
Everybody is so different than others. Oracle is Subhendu’s second home. He literally stays within the code. Dinesh still tries to convince himself that dieting would help him to reduce his weight. Unfortunately I haven’t seen any change so far. But his passion for technology always makes him stand apart. Deba feels he is here to conquer the world. And he is rightly so. 5 years down the line, I could see another BIG GUY on the Wall Street. As I said, everybody is a unique brand.
Thought 4: Finally it is a Brilliant Team
We together had discussed on lot of things/issues in life. We shared our secrets and at the end of the day we thought we could have faith on each other for rest of life. Everybody knew what other person’s thought process is. Accordingly everybody accommodates or adjust to suite the other person’s need. This looks simple from outside, but actually it’s complicated in all practical sense. We went for numerous number of trips, movies, lunches, dinners together. Hardly there was any conflict of interest. Even if there is any, we all were masters in resolving them. That’s why I call it as a brilliant team.
I am always thankful to have a set of roomies with whom I had best of my time in life. I will relish those 5 years always in my life. It gave me 3 of my closest ever friends, it brought a lot of change in me as a person. They all have some contribution towards all my success that I have got so far in life. I miss them all.

Well, I do not think we 4 are 4 people standing at the corners of a square. We are rather 3 people standing at the corners of a traingle and you are the one standing on the centroid. You are the one who holds all of us together. You are the man with the personality, charming to us and everbody else. Many people do not know us by our own names, rather by the name 'Bijaya's friend' or 'Bijaya's roommate'. Friends do not really bother what their friends do or achieve. They only care for others who cares for them. And you are 'The Friend'. The next time some bollywood director thinks of making a movie named 'The Friend', I would seriously urge him to change the movie name to 'The Friend--The Bijay Kant'.
You are the rock star. Keep rocking on!
the potholes, the traffic, the restaurants, the multiplexes, the chai shops, the tennis courts, the swimming pools, the mosquitoes, the stray dogs
every one missing you........
come back...
(also add my name to the above list)
