Check out this comic strip.
believe it or not, this is an exact snapshot of my life almost an year ago. the guy with the glasses would be sush , the guy in the middle would be nandu. and ofcourse the red hat shirt guy would be me. In my college days, I would always wear linux T-shirts coz I had tons of them (used to get them free, and everyone used to crib about that). Nandu would always organize LAN parties and he only had a 8 port hub. I had a 24 port hub. So he would ask me for the hub. If i did not give him, he and sush would come to my place and steal it.

    I have 9 of them. many from IT.COM’s, Bannglinux/ linux-bangalore.
    I bought many of them during the initital days of linux. When I was working with exocore, I used to get many from dealers..like susse/redhat caldera etc.

    but am searching for BSD shirts there days 😉

    Who is Zaheer? If you mean Zameer, yes, we do email each other once in two months or so. I believe he is visiting India in April. Email me in private if you want his email address. Arvind? Arvind who? If you mean Aravind Balasubramaniam, (a) he never worked at Lateral (b) yes, sorta in contact. I have his mail address too.
