ICF Founding Members' Profiles - Shwetabh

[Gambit]

I've put together something on Shwetabh. We'll make this a separate section later. You can post your opinions on why you love or hate him. Thank you for the idea dinakaar.

Shwetabh - The Dreamer ======================== Shwetabh is amongst the very few of us who had(for the large part of his life) the courage to follow his heart and do what he was passionate about - Star gazing. Unlike most of us, he never let the little boy who stared at the glittering sky grow up. He lived his dream. I've almost always found myself nodding after reading Shwetabh's opinions because they are so well thought out and lucidly presented. He's probably the most unflappable person on ICF, never letting emotions get the better of him. You can always expect something new, a fresh out of the box perspective from him which is why his opinions generate a lot of exchange of ideas. His account of the 1996 World Cup Quarter Final is one of the finest personal accounts I've ever read. IndianCricketFans needs Shwetabh because where would we be today if he weren't there to help us realise this collective dream of ours?

Never flapping? You kidding me? Do I need to bring up my threads on Sachin and how Shwetabh completely lost his marbles lol. Thats okay Shwetabh, even you can not be right all the time :winky: I have always enjoyed his works, more so when he delves deeper within himself and makes a thread/post laced with personal anecdotes(which unfortunately is on decline these days). I probably follow him more on Chit chat sections and Current Affairs forum and his thoughts are not very different to mine, most of the time that is. Still remember all those fracas with BB and DR. I still can not get how those two folks did not get what Shwetabh was trying to convey. Ah well. And yes his 1996 WC write up was great!

I like your pics Gambit and its concise yet effective. Good feature!! Shwetabh calls Yuvraj Singh Yuseless. :hitler:

[triam]

One of the posters I tend to agree with almost all the time. Puts in words what I feel most of the time, with such lucidity and eloquence that I can only dream of.

Thanks for helping those of us who haven't been here that long get to know a bit more about the senior members.

[Malcolm Merlyn]

i hope the outsider agrees with this

[Mr. Wicket]

Shwetabh calls Yuvraj Singh Yuseless. :hitler:

:hitler: Yes, but I demand credit for first invoking that nickname here! :mad: (I give shwetabh full credit though for invoking the Poster Boy nick)

[satishg]

I totally admire and respect Shwetabhs posts. Its great to know more about him! :) and as Gambit has rightly put he has done what many can only dream of and only a few can manage.

[SachDan]

Without a semblance of doubt my favorite poster at ICF.

[The Outsider]

:icflove: :embaressed_smile: Now you can let your real feelings flow through.......

[coffee_rules]

He is a big fan of Manish Pandey/Pollard or any IPL batsmen who hits a 20-ball 50. His favorite sport is lashing cows and has a great admiration for that sport.
