About the person
If you want to meet a perfectionist, ... then you need to be lucky enough to meet Aamir Khan ... but you can always
meet my friend Pankaj. He is really good @ executing plans.
All though, i initiated the picnic plan, my man, Panky, has lion's share in pushing it forward for
implementation. For his well organised qualities, he was the best person to take care of finances
required in the picnic. He is also known for his heavy, sometimes hilarious, and sometimes thought
provoking dialogues.

Had it not been for Akron, we would have never experienced what a trek is like.
This 5 feet 5 inch, stout, strong and muscular fellow, had already been to this place several times and
was our only guide to this fort. People say we are reflection of each other as our line of thinking
and likes and dislikes match so much.

You can never make out the age of this guy. He is as old as us, but he will look very young. Along with
