Sri

This is interesting. May 26th 2005. Last minute entry in the Youth Hostel Trekking group. Faded Jeans, t-shirt and jacket, a cowboy hat and a rucksack, 5’10-11 feet tall, stern face, typical jungle boy look, like a professional hunter, B. Srinivasan, an Engineer with Engineers India Limited. The stern face was soon replaced by a colgate smile. The kids in the group started calling him chicken uncle (oops sorry Sri I made it public) not an uncle by any means though…a young macho guy with a golden heart and great smile. That’s all I could know about him in the 11 days of trekking trip that we went for. A savior for the trekkers, the group was certain that the trek would not have been minus any mishap if he and the two other Ss of the S cube (Shashant and Sumit) weren’t there. After having raised the slogan for chicken throughout the vegetarian trip he treated the entire group to a grand chicken feast in Manali at the end of our trek. Sri works somewhere in Gujarat I would get to meet him if I go for the Goa trek in December…otherwise I dunno when…but will always be glad I got to know him.
