I ran into [[http://home.iitb.ac.in/~thakkar|Abhishek Thakkar]] online today — an old school friend. It was nice talking to him after quite a while. He’s a strange character. Weighs around 300 pounts, more than 6 ft tall, he has a passion for computers and a unique sense of humour. Back in our IIT preparation days, he would ring us up late into the night and pretend to be Spock (Star Trek)!! But he’s come a long way since then. He got into civil engineering at [[http://www.iitb.ac.in/|IIT Bombay]], but never quite was into his department. And then he shocked everyone by winning the [[http://www.iitb.ac.in/~moodi/|Mood Indigo]] personality contest!!! After that, Thakkar was on a roll. He went on to be runners up at Malhaar as well. Off late, he’s been doing design. Right now he’s gearing up for a masters in design. Really interesting fella (check out his [[http://thakkar.blogspot.com/|blog]])
