Happy Birthday ... um, my LJ

[mcgillianaire]

Exactly a year ago I joined LJ. At that time you still needed an invite so thanks to dubaiwalla for that. I remember you giving it to me on the condition that I updated it regularly. I hope that request has been fulfilled

you friended me, you probly found me thru mcgill or montreal? then we got to talking over aim and watching cricket together and you listening to my many many desi guy problems. even tho we don't see each other a whole lot in person you've been a great friend to me between counseling me thru problems, drawing me a diagram to explain what a googly is, and feeding my kitties while i was in morocco (and i don't trust those guys to just anyone...). fix yr computer so you can come online more often and i can tell you about all my exciting tn research!

[mcgillianaire]

heh, i can't seem to remember how i found you exactly either... but either way, i'm glad i did and thanks for the kind words. :) computer should return before the end of the week but if you're free sometime this week i'd love to meet on campus and see how your essay is coming along and perhaps provide some expert feedback ;)

ps heh, u dont know how useful that googly diagram has become since! :)

Tamil pride!

Enough said :D

Can't remember if I added you or you added me... but it was through the Oman/brinker connection =) Then we moved to msn. First impressions? Probably "lucky cow lived in Muscat" lol. Once I got to know you better I found out you were a great advice giver and really down to earth. We really should meet in person sometime. Say... Bangladesh? :D

[mcgillianaire]

Ah, yes! I think there's also a cute_kitty connexion in there somewhere as well! Thanks also for the kind words and considering my godfather has just relocated to Dhaka, there's a good possibility my dad and I will be making a trip there in the not too distant future! :D

[busybodies]

Woot! We *have* to meet up when you do.

That grade 8 Art class that had me sitting at a table with two people speaking English and five people speaking Hindustani, and the whole place was loud, and there was no discipline whatsoever...

See, Hari? This is what who you get for not learning Hindi :P

on the condition that I updated it regularly. I hope that request has been fulfilled
A bit too well at times. It distracts me from my work. But this is a good thing, I don't like working anyway...

you recall your first meeting with me? Oh, and what were thy first impressions
First and only meeting, yes. I remember being pleasantly surprised that you were exactly the same in person as online.

[mcgillianaire]

Well, given the circumstances I'm very happy with the outcome. :) But learning Hindi remains a priority...

I'm glad to have succeeded @ distracting you from work through regular LJ updates. If I remember right, you're one of the few friends who actually requests me to update when there's a lean patch of 3 days or something. :P

I remember being pleasantly surprised that you were exactly the same in person as online.
Heh, it's always interesting to meet someone in person after chatting online for a number of years. I believe you're one of the 'few' remaining specimens with whom I have a history of chatting on ICQ before MsN...

[mcgillianaire]

Heh, I hadn't thought of that one... but I think that predates realizing you like cricket in the Library Courtyard during break one day! I also remember you telling me your 519529(?) number during Math and getting corrected for saying McGrath instead of Mcgraa. :)

Bah, I should've told you off for Saahchin and Laaksman...
