Ankit Jaiswal is my ex colleague and but this not the reason that he is here. He is an amazing singer, thinker, poet, foodie and absolute gem when it comes to rationally brainstorming on some idea. Though he is a technical writer by profession and writes mostly in angrezi but he also has amazing command in urdu. We have written together couple of poems, which we interestingly termed it as co-operative poetry. :)
Coax him, persuade him, promise him a good meal and he turns into an awesome singer i like the depth of his voice, especially when he sings old hindi songs. Overall an amazing person to be with and a great friend for life. Follow him on twitter if you want some brainteasing opinion about any topic under the sun.

Pritish Nandy on Twitter

When you can not portray all the hues of a personality you surrender yourself to words which can not show the real color. I mean its hard to write about how does a rainbow look like. One such guy is the dude in focus "Pritish Nandy"- poet, journalist, politician, television personality, film producer, entrepreneur etc. ( and we need quite a lot of etc in this one).

I admire him for his body of translation on Bhartrhari and the amazing movie "Hazzaro Khawishe Aise" that he produced. One more thing i admire him for is his bald look, that gives me lot of strength as i will also be apart of the league very soon. :)

So catch him on twitter and let him know how cool is he.

Akshay Kumar on Twitter

Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia is Akshay Kumars real name, some of you might share birthday with him that is on September 9, 1967 (really you do!..ok smile smile..ye ye cool..enough now go brush your teeth!). Stop grinning we are doing some serious stuff here! Lets get back to the job.

I think Indian film industry didn't produced any serious competition for Shammi Kapoor (Yeah that Yahoo! guy), till Akshay Kumar came in. As its absoultely impossible for any normal actor to jump from one corner of the screen to another corner (Imagine if its cinema screen..gee!), now that's quite a feat. But this Bhatia guy went one step further, he not only jumped out of the screen, he tore it down, flew out of it, jumped from high rise, swim with sharks, break tubelights and what not. He sometime was also refereed as the "stuntman who is a star".

But this man is my inspiration,i mean a martial student turned chef turned martial art instructor turned model turned actor. Now that's quite a lot of turning! And all the turn and twist he did in Khiladi changed his life forever! That was his first major hit and as they rest in history. Now if you would like to stalk this piece of history you can catch up with him on twitter.
