This day or rather yesterday surely deserves a place in my blog lest I forget it ;). Yesterday I happened to meet; the richest man in the world, chief software architect of Microsoft, Mr. Bill Gates or billg (his microsoft alias) as he his commonly known here.

It's an annual thing when interns go to his place for a Barbeque. His house though not quite an epitome of grandiose is a sight in itself. Situated next to lake washington, surrounded by dense foliage, greenhouses spread around, huge garage, wall mounted plasma screens displaying Van Gogh's and like.....well he is the richest man so this is expected what is unexpected is his nonchalantness about his position. Difficult to digest that he probably has the one of the largest legal division :). Avid reader....has read the entire enclyopedia (from horse's mouth...)..loves Math..did not take a CS class in Harvard....Bill G an icon on the technology warfront.

Its a day to look forward to by interns and for Bill G...well he atleast got a blog from me...
