The person whom i'm going to introduce to you needs no introduction...He's the (below) average indian foolish joe. It is hard to describe this unique phenomenon...But here we make a brave attempt.

Acid tests are not enough for this brave soul, for he went a step further for his favourite mobile...the Urine test...which ended in three stages OH! S***! F***!

This person owes a lot to the MP3 file format without which he may not be here with us today. His mentor and master Mr.GB was so impressed by his talents during exam, that he couldnt bother taking eyes off this maestro in action....and after the exam this person couldnt lay eyes on his mentor ever again...probably due to respect.

His encounter with the PCS computers could be well summed up in one line..."Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind" for he believes firmly that his computer is an alien and he can talk to it...results are just a matter of using the right word with the coumputer.

His antics in the first project led him to the next project within just 1 week...probably because of his success in fixing stuff under the table...or probably because of his exploits in java/jsp or may be just because he was the only soul kind enough to help his team mates (read ex-) in times of trouble.

He is a true conversationalist for he does not allow even his sleep to come in between his conversations...not even a hen, for that matter.

He has cheated death many times...once with the help of an injection too...his body is a testing ground for all kinds of antibiotics for it is here where they get tested before they hit the market.

Once his daily diet included 4 kgs of cork and 1 sandwich....that was before he begged for the mercy killing which his doctor refused...but now it is now reduced to largely a diet of fresh leaves.

This explorer is often creditted for the discovery of "Kairali Mess" but the truth is known by a couple of his true friends.Like Columbus who proclamed he had discovered India on the shores of America....he claimed to have discovered some medical shops instead of "Kairali Mess".

His endeavour in climbing the tallest of mountains (Mt. Khargar) cannot be outdone by even Tenzing Norgay or Edmund Hillary...for they climbed the mountain with Shoes which our hero didn't bother to bring along(which was the sole reason for any lack of pace...if there was any).

He is truly the Back Stroke Swimming (make that kicking) champion of India...ask Sujith who stood testimony to his path breaking kick.

Say phone and this person rings a tone. He is not a product of British Raj but come a phone call and his official language changes to English.

All said and done we cannot do anything but admire this unique feat of nature...this serendipity...this avatar...Mr. J

...in the end we leave you with a extract from his favourite quotes (any resemblances to certain movie dialogues is certainly unintentional)

enthokke keetindu nigal Manduvine kurichu...
