I love shake-n-bake. and pearl tea. and heavy beats. and bandura music. and little poems. if you see an indian guy in seattle wearing strange clothes who appears to be singing to himself, it's probably me.

can turn the most mundane daily event
into a grand adventure that can have you
on the edge of your seat. Creativity
pours from him like an endless reservoir
which inspires as well as entertains. He
is analytical and intense, but also
carefree and open minded with a rich
multifaceted depth of perspective.
All I can really say is that he is a very
precious gem and I am so glad to know
him.
in my mind, when I think about 1st
meeting him. He is a consistant joy and
a pleasure to hang with.....plus he is
one of the most stylist peeps around!
lies Sumit told in his testimonial of me. I
must say, an ocean-going tin of
crosseyed mussels could never match
his melodious burblings. In fact, he is
always even more vivid than his
hallucinations. Flies dance operas to his
wisdom. How great is the snowshine in
his eyes, so directly current from the
static in his brain. Ok, so he keeps odd
friends (or makes them). If you haven't
already, drop him a note and come join
the gang, you won't be sorry... Sumit,
you rock my world!
sumit used to be the cambridge party-o-
meter. if he wasn't there then the party was
obviously not up to par. i heard he was
cashing in on it all, enterprising young man
that he is, getting paid to appear.
and oh yeah, he cuts a mean rug and is a
hardcore karaoke crooner.
