Goodbye Sushanth
Sushanth ( khorgath ), the bum decided to call it quits and today happens to be his last day at work. He is planning to chill out for couple of months and pursue his higher studies after that.
What can I say.. I met him 7 years ago on the 2nd day of college . He overheard me talking about pascal with someone and joined in the conversation. We introduced ourselves and then ended up talking a lot about games, internet etc. We became friends, organized the tech events together in out 1st college fest, started working on linux, he took me to the 1st LUG meet, helped me install linux on my home machine, taught me a lot about programming and computing.
We became sysadmins in college together and we had some serious kickass fun during those days. From playing with server to adding users accounts to giving countless tech talks. We fought, we laughed, we spend sleepless nights talking about stuff. He also takes the credit for introducing me to all the strategy games. He is also the reason why I am where I am today. I would not have been working here if not for him, I would not have achieved so much if not for him… yes I owe him quite a bit in my life.
Sushanth discussing his world domination plans with his clones
It was great 7 year ride buddy. Hope our paths cross again in our lives (I know they will). You will be missed.
A very touching post.. 🙂
All the best Sush ! Will miss you ! And keep in touch !
touching.
But… are they really clones?
Beautiful tribute!
Boy, have I learnt something about Kalyan Varma from this post. Nice to know!
PS: How did you do the clones thing? It’s damn cool.
I think he just took multiple shots, camera at the same place, clones in different places & superimposed those pics.
Now let’s see if I’m right 😉
Touching post and a great pic (How did you do that?)
I remember those days when you guys were the sysadmins at college creating our user accounts. It was good fun troubling you guys 😉
All the best to Sushanth!!!!!
Right on the dot 🙂
shot them in raw mode to avoid the jpg compression, locked the exposure/focus settings and stitched them all using gimp

Sounds like burnout. Is all fine?

Milin
Vow!
Oh i wont need to buzz you again to ask abt “how you are what you are today” kalyan anna. Hope you cross again in future. Meanwhile I seem to have a got such good partner like you had , in. First thing I will do now is to show this post and say Please do the same to me 😉
wholly speaking am amazed at kind of strong bond both of you have developed , that may be irreversible 😮
amen
Burnouts go for “higher studies” ? wtf kind of a burnout is khorgath?
Will the real kalyan please stand up, please stand up, please stand up …
took me to the 1st LUG meet, helped me install linux on my home machine
… clearly he did a lousy job, seeing as you’re not saying “GNU/Linux” … ;/
pursue his higher studies after that.
…
Hope our paths cross again
WTF? – your account is hax0red man. Obviously the hacker (no, not “cracker”) doesn’t know jack-all about you! ;/
That’s exactly what I told myself three years ago. I’ve seen it with others. When you’re burned out, you don’t think of joining another company. You want to get away from this “work” thing entirely, take some months off, then go back to studies for a few years.
Re: Will the real kalyan please stand up, please stand up, please stand up …
You FSF fanatic.. go away 😀
fantastic photo! and a nice tribute too.
-b-
OK, maybe it is just me, then. If I burnt out, I’d just go be a cashier in a local grocery store, and earn me enough to own my cellphone and a DSL line. Better still, flip burgers at Burger King so I can even get some free food … I wouldn’t be going into “higher studies” only because I want away from the corporate world.
Oh well.
for a few seconds i was like .. “does everyone in yahoo start growing a beard??” then i realized it was only sush all over the place..
sush is one of the most level headed guys i have seen so far… always has his cool mind and a sense of humor ready for everyone..
sush if you are reading this then all the best… we all know you will do some kick ass job at your univ.. chillax..
have fun.
Umm, maybe you missed it, but “higher studies” is the Indian version of flipping burgers. It’s what you do when you don’t know what to do.
Great pic. And a wonderful tribute.
How would Kallu look with a beard…
Err… not always.
no comments..
i dont wanna die soon..
Nice post, dude!
Agent smith, neo will get you some day
Hey wishing all the best.
He was the freakist gamer I’ve known. The dude who overclocks every bit of his comp and keeps the cabinet open at all time.
I plan to kick his ass in Ut2K someday (not that he is any good :p, just that i have not had a confrontation)

Just what I was thinking ! :)) How come Kallu’s spelling skills become so good? 😉
Re: Will the real kalyan please stand up, please stand up, please stand up …
LJ comes with a nice spell check these days 😉
Re: Will the real kalyan please stand up, please stand up, please stand up …
Hmmm.. I did hear about that.. 🙂 Though I don’t know how can I install it on my SE Magic Client..
This had me laughing for quite a bit.And you are right on the dot , I plan to flip burgers sometime soon.
I probably met Sush a couple of times along with Kalyan. He, at one time was the coolest dude at college, the man who knows all about “”!!
Dont know where he’s going to, but guys like him will rock it doesnt matter where they are.
Sush, you’re already a celebrity, cant u see !!!!
PS: can ne1 tell me which uni hes going to?
Heh. Thanks dude.
Sush, you’re already a celebrity, cant u see !!!!
Much horror.
PS: can ne1 tell me which uni hes going to?
I have no clue myself. I’m taking time out to prepare for stuff. And when I do finally get down to apping, and more, I’ll know. 😀
thats pretty interesting, coz i thought doing an MS after 3 yrs of techie work is kinda brave unless of course ur hitting the top10 uni’s … which should be grt! tell u what, why dont u take a month off to travel around & blow off ur money. U DESERVE A BREAK (Im sure ur cash bells r singing high!)
Unfortunately not many of us appreciate the idea of travelling alone & hey if ur a photo enthusiast then this should be ur best bet.
