Aah! Did I forget to introduce who WE are? Well read these lines below, which still are part of our description on the yahoo group’s page of Company_6:
COMPANY: Hum 6 punterOur locations & professions might have changed over the years, but the pseudonyms used in the description – they still remain the same. Our responsibilities might have increased multifold now, but that carefree, fun loving person inside us - he still remains the same. We still are the same bunch of 6 buddies, who got together one by one, sometime during our school days, not knowing we would stick around for so long [some of us have been together for over 15 years now]. We still love the same food, we still love to visit the same joints, we still enjoy the same pranks, we still crack the same jokes, we still rant & rave about the same things – everything is just so same about us and our Company; yet, so much has changed.
Vivek bhai – now in Mumbai – iFlex Solutions
Punit bhai – 5th year Elec – IIT Bombay
GD Pseud Man – CSC
Dhammo Ustaad – now in Pune – HSBC
Choubey Dada – now in Hyderabad – Satyam
Bharat Shaayar – now in University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
Belong to different places now
Have different goals in mind
But a Master plan going in all’s mind
A .plan file always under construction
So enjoy us!
We no longer get to see each other every day; we no longer get to cycle around the town; we no longer get to spend those evenings together; we no longer get to ‘attack’ the home-made chocolate cake on Bharat’s B’day; we no longer get to fight over the bill amount for B’day bashes; we no longer get to eat butter chicken/egg curry at Sanjha Chula; we no longer get to dare each other for a paan at Parsavnath; nor do we get to ‘talk’ at Sukhliya chauraha. Also, in a long long time, all 6 of us haven’t been together at one place. The closest we came, was on our trip to Matheran last year, but even then, Bharat could not join us.
However, amidst this conundrum of missing each other and trying to stay connected, something that doesn't cease to amaze us all, is the alacrity with which we welcome new members to the Company! Be it Dhanashree's induction to the group over a couple of years ago, or Malabika's, or more recently Aditi's. All of us share the same excitement to welcome the better halves of our mates. And boy, do these ladies gel so well, so quickly; it's almost like we have been together since the inception of this group.
They say, "Birds of same feather, flock together" - appears to me that Company_6 is an exception. Here, no two people are alike. If Dharmesh is the live wire of the group, Bharat has a more calming effect on us; if I am kinda timid fellow, Puneet is the ever confident dude around; if Shobhit is the go-for-advice-to person, Vivek is the go-for-help-to guy! So much variety, so many traits - yet everything blended with the bond of friendship! That's Company_6 for me, and I hope this extended family of mine always stays together!
A more contemporary description of Company_6 is:
COMPANY: A fleet of 6 cars[Sorry folks, car-radio & gullu are company_6’s copyrighted private jokes]Belong to different places now

- Dhanashree Deval Parakh - Dhan Dhana Dhan – the ‘made in Miraj’ radio certainly spreads her gullu magic around; working at IIT Powai research lab
