Nice intro Karthik.. Come lets have a Fiatful time here too..

Through our old FIATs, I met Karthik(Sujith and funkykar too) on March 10th 2009, for the first time. We had become friends through Orkut.

More than 17 months since we know each other now. We all have become best buddies and share all our personal problems too (these days generally nobody is even ready to listen to our problem let alone helping). We four guys meet every other day after our work.

Nice to have you as a friend Kar!

 

inspirational man !
