Happy Birthday Happy Fuzz-man!! - My Orkut Testimonial

As I said earlier, words find their futility in expressing the length and breadth and depth of Fuzzy's vastness!
And even these 3 dimensions r not good enuf to capture him!
Add to them Einstein's fourth dimension - time. Still no use!
And Fuzzy-dear doesn't fit into even the 26 dimensional space of the superstring theory!!!!!!
That confirms the existence of parallel universes! . Looool!

Well, there have been people who are smart enough to express the inexpressible!
Like Narada Maharishi who had successfully described Love in his famous treatise Narada Bhakti Sutras (aphorisms of love).
And Ashtavakra Maharishi who exposed the Highest truth to King Janaka.
Or Vasishta who made Lord Rama understand the Highest Knowledge (Well, Matrix movie is based on this knowledge!)
Amol Mujumdar who can elucidate a complex computer architecture in crystal clear and least number of words!

Attempting to describe Fuzzy would be equally a Mission Impossible, so doing this Herculean task will put you alongside with these great people!

Here is a small tribute, my birthday gift, to a great man!!!

So dearest Fuzzy, wish you many many rocking returns of the day every day!!

The first thing u notice about Fuzzy is he is very humble, down-to-earth, sweet and innocent.
Then why so much intro 4 such a simple guy??????
Well, he is innocent like a child, yet extraordinarily wise - a rare combination!
When u call him up, the way he greets you with a “Hello” that is fully loaded with a gushing enthu n love (which itself is unique every time!), lightens up ur day!

Fuzzy’s mesmerizing music ranges from spell-binding Raaga Bhairavi on an elec guitar! to rocking Rock to classy classical Mozart!
And he is unrivaled in wherevuh and whatevuh he does.. acou/elec/classical guitar or piano or vocals to name a few...
And he is a poet and a great writer that would have Douglas Adams and Dan Brown envy. I'm serious :)
And he would be the first one in the town to get the passes for Pink Floyd or Beyonce concert or…!

What more?
A total geek!
One of the best Computer wizards I have ever known.
He has two publications to his credit - a paper in an international journal and a chapter in a book published by American Cancer Society.
Each of which he managed to do with a week's "hard" (??) work!
That too when he was still an undergraduate!!
Having done a carefree bachelors in EE and a rather nbdu masters in CSE both at IITB, he is at ease at giving u any fundaes on a spectrum of subjects ranging from robotics
to encoding ur signals into bits to mining the mysterious data and artificial intelligence to Indian politics and history, solving partial differential equations of 10th order and 100 variables, and not to mention women’s psychology and breast cancer :))

Other lighter "colors "/"frequencies" of the spectrum include but not limited to!!:
Number theory of Pure Mathematics.
Euclidean geometry
Non-euclidean geometries
Fractals theory
Fourier analysis
Stocks

Sardar and non-sardar jokes

And he is a good teacher and orator adroit at giving PPT’s (pre placement talks)

He perfects the art of effortlessly "pataoing" "babes", a skill that he seems to have acquired from his past life-times!
However he has an enormous respect for the feminine gender.
And he is too handsome and sweet for any female to resist!
Sweet because he gives you his best, yet expects the least from u and accepts everybody on an “as is and where is” basis :)

Faizaan Malolia is sooooo gentle (a trait I think is hereditary in all Parsis including Homi Bhabha and Tatas :))) a man that, in the so many years that I have known him, he never uttered a single harsh word, even behind somebody’s back.
But then it does not mean that he is too foolish to let u fool or be foolish!
He is firm enuf 2 slap & put u back on track but with a knack that doesn’t hurt u!!
But he is often a happy victim of his lil sister Hemisha’s teasing and preaching!!

He is full of strength, immense kindness, enthu (but never overexcited!), always happy, bubbly, humble, unconditionally loving, caring, resourceful, peaceful etc etc...
Well, it’s rather easier to say what he does not have; else the list will be endless! Lolz!!
In short, putting together all the good adjectives with superlatives and nouns in all the world languages will not suffice 2 capture Fuzzy!

But then, he can not shop for his own clothes, which is the duty of his younger sister or parents!!
But at times, he does not only a wonderful cooking (see the below pic) but also happily cleans up all the utensils to make his folks and friends happy :)

This is Faizaan Marolia for you! Believe or not... None of this is an exaggeration!

So Fuzz-man! Have a greaaaat blast and a greaaaat year ahead (Btw, u seem 2 b getting younger every year :)))
Also, dude, I wish that u get a cat-eyed chick soon.
And wish that all your talents and knowledge will be even more useful to the mankind.
