Looking from the other side of the ermm.. LCD screen, Google is like an elephant. Well, I suppose an elephant it is, whichever side you look from. You know, elephants seldom fail to fascinate me. :)

First the privacy issue and now this .

Hi Guys,Today I have a very very special guest on my blog. Its an honour to have Gautham Thambidorai on my blog! I dont have to give any explanation or introduction to Gautham. Gautham is one of the leading engineers at Google. Just do a google search on his name and see the results. Click here for the results :-)But today, we wont be talking about his accomplishments at google! Thats too long to post :-) Instead, we will focus on his hobbies and other interests.Welcome Gautham Thambidorai!!=======================================================================Coffee With Gautham Thambidorai!Me: Sundar Rajan G SGT: Gautham Thambidorai!Me: Hi Gautham. Welcome to Coffee With Sundar! You recently did sky diving. How was it? Share it with our readers.GT: It was awesome!… Definitely worth the thrill. The adrenaline level reaches its highest point just as your about to jump of the plane. Its all downhill from there! I was actually skeptical about doing it because I tend to get motion sickness on the thrill rides but then Manju(my wife) was definitely doing it and hence I couldnt wuss out :-)Me: What are your other interests? Are they all fitness related activities?GT: Squash, Swimming, Running. I’m crazy about Seinfeld. I also tend to like to read a lot of autobiographies,books on social issues, philosophy etc. No fiction for me.Me: When did you start with these activities?GT: I started playing squash when I came for grad school. I learnt swimming when Iwas pretty young and so that was easy.Me: How do you manage your time with your work?GT: I dont really do anything special :-)Me: What is your advise for folks who want to pick up these fitness related activities as their hobby?GT: After a while you get so used to it that your body automatically pushes you everyday and starts complaining if you dont do it… pretty much like sleeping! So, Just start it! :-) It will take care of itself!Me: Finally something work related. What is your advise for young and budding software engineers. GT: Dont make me feel old my asking such questions :-)Me: Ha ha!! Gautham shied away from the last question! :-) But let me tell you, he is too good and we should all learn from him.It was a great pleasure having Gautham Thambidorai on my blog. Having a person of such calibre, raises the standard of my blog as well!! :-)Hope you all had a good time! As I said earlier, at Coffee With Sundar I intend to bring people from different walks of life, have a chat and share the transcript for you to read, learn and enjoy!For earlier episodes of Coffee with Experts, Check out!Coffee With Harsha! - A Carnatic SingerCoffee With Prem! - A true Underdog!Coffee With Aditya - A Googler and Blogger!Coffee With Mahesh - A CAT Cracker!
