The Outsider Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 An indefatigable force of ICF - a die hard Bombaite, brings the culture and character of the city to ICF. Puts in hard hours, does great work, keeps the place vibrant during lulls, and lets the people have it if they mess about with anything he holds dear. He has lived in Switzerland, North East US, Toronto (which never suited his palette), and has now moved to the milder climate of Vancouver. Don't mistake his love for milder climates for a milder nature - his sense for trolls remains as alert as ever and is a hard taskmaster if you tread on his territory. But, get to know him and he is the person you would want to spend that casual Saturday afternoon draining into Sunday morning as you go through his wonderful assortments of drinks and anecdotes - I am yet to encounter a poster so candid about his life on ICF, with all the good and bad life has to offer. Many would say that Rajiv's biggest legacy to ICF is his videos - he boasts of state of the art streaming and recording equipment and a lot of vintage tapes. For me, Rajiv's greatest contribution to ICF has been in bringing the community together by baring up personal things people usually don't online and inducing others to do so. A lot o my friendships on ICF can be traced down to the culture driven by him to be personal and candid here. Needless to say he is a movie buff from Bombay and started one of my favorite threads on ICF : http://indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=3084 A lesser known fact about Rajiv - on work days he records the match and watches it ball by ball once he gets home without giving into the temptation of checking ICF or cricinfo or fast forwarding the recording to find out what happened!:omg: Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Don't mistake his love for milder climates for a milder nature - his sense for trolls remains as alert as ever and is a hard taskmaster if you tread on his territory.
