What could be better than being in the company of intelligent, smart and brilliant people? And when it comes to social networking where you have a large network of people hailing from different places and backgrounds, it feels great to be friend of someone most intelligent in all terms. On Orkutheroes, as we always featured interesting people and communities, there are many online communities which will give your brain an exercise to develop and to learn from other members, especially when you are fond of any particular subjects like Physics and Math. While surfing on orkut, I got to know some extra ordinary brilliant people who are not only responsible for creating and managing some very intellectual and impressive communities on orkut but also has set an example of gleaming mind with an inspiring persona.
I’ve discovered four different personalities with terrific academic backgrounds and brilliance in everything they do and everything they think.
Gaurav Tekriwal hails from Kolkata, he is a Vedic Mathematics enthusiast, a teacher and a someone struggling to copyright Vedic Maths as an Indian origin style of mathematics from early vedic period. Gaurav moderates biggest Vedic Mathematics community on orkut. Teaching high speed Vedic math to each and every mathematics student of the world and to show them how beautiful Vedic math is, that’s his main aim, professionally. When asked about his idol personality Gaurav said, “My Idol is Shakuntala Devi because she is the only Maths Ambassador we got. She’s done things which no one else has, travelled the world, amazed audiences and met loads of important people. Math needs that kind of a powerful ambassador to be promoted. I am happy to be working with her.” As a student Gaurav was not so serious about his subjects except math, he used to solve every model papers, and knew every text book related to maths available in market, clear concept and confidence made him a favorite of math or in better terms -math is his favorite. Beside math, Gaurav also likes History, Science and English Literature. Gaurav loves to Browsing on the Internet, Making Presentations on Powerpoint, Reading Non Fiction Books, and Reading about Business Stories, Studying the Stock Market, Planning, Music and Movies and just sleeping in for hours are some of his favorite pass time activities. Internet plays a major part in Gaurav Tekriwals’s life “I can’t do without the internet. It definitely plays an important role in my life. I get to meet so many different people from all walks of life through it. I get to promote India’s ancient heritage through it. I get to Network. Make Friends and learn about so many things. You get a broader perspective on the internet”.
Ali Ahmad is learning communication system engineering, his favorite academic subjects are Signal processing and Electromagnetism because it develop new methodologies and mechanisms. This 21 yr old brainiac is from Rawalpindi, Pakistan and he is persuaded and buoyant student who wants to become a successful engineer and researcher. Ali owns and moderates a very unique community on orkut known as “Memory Joggers” where he met many likeminded people who love smashing their brains, smashing, yeah! Just to improve their memories. Although, Ali’s favorite orkut community was Orkut Tricks which don’t exists now. Albert Einstein is Ali’s hero because Einstein’s theories and ideas flattered him too much. Besides playing computer games, internet surfing and doing some football tricks on ground Ali also loves to study about Mind sciences. Even though being a position holder in school, Ali never termed himself as a “very studious” student. He said “I really don’t give much time to studies, I just concentrate on the lecture and later I just have to revise the lesson” Ali gives credit to internet for half of his knowledge, he replied when asked “Do internet spoils your time?”
Bala Krishnan V. is a 25 yr old PhD student from an American university. He is a well known puzzle breaker among his friends, they call him super computer, genius and the great balak. Orkut puzzle community will always remember this genius who never skipped any thread without his answers, he is also one of the favorite moderator in Mathematics community on orkut. Bala Krishnan loves Analytical thinking and logic and that’s why mathematics is his favorite subject. He wants to be a researcher because anything which requires logical thinking suits well on Bala Krishnan. Solving puzzles is his only pass time activities. Bala Krishnan was not studious but was a thirsty learner and his passion for learning anything which keeps its long term impact always attracted this south Indian brainiac. On his orkut professional profile Bala Krishnan wrote about his job description which is really interesting and proves what’s going on inside his master piece brain “Trying to induce human-like intelligence to machines in the hope that eventually there will be machines working to induce machine-like intelligence to humans”. Internet plays a very major role in Balak’s life and he thinks he can’t do anything useful without internet. The great computer programmer Donald Knuth is his living idol.
Saurav Malviya a 23 year old owner of orkut’s top physics community is from Delhi and a final year student in bachelors of Engineering course in instrumentation and control engineering from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology. This brainiac is a hard core physicist since his childhood; he always wanted to figure out that how actually things work. Saurav wants to do MBA and then to start his own company in field of research and development in computer technology. After physics Saurav’s other favorite subjects are maths, computer science, literature and world history. Saurav adores two personalities one an Indian independence hero Shaheed Bhagat Singh because of his courage and bravery to lay down his life for his nation and the other is Dr. Richard P Feynman a great scientist of modern times. Dr. Feyman’s way of teaching physics impressed Saurav to the extent that he realized that Dr Feynman’s way is the only best way to enjoy and learn physics. Saurav is a voracious reader of fantasy, horror, suspense, comedy and current affairs. However, studies occupied most of his time these days but he is also a keen debater, quizzer and dramatist. Saurav loves to hang out on his physics community of more than 100 thousand members on orkut and many other similar communities like Physics for Physicists, the physics library and the physics community. Interestingly, Saurav was a headache for his parents and teachers regarding studies, he said with a broad smile “I never seriously studied anything, and I don’t do that even now. Since my interests were in science and maths, I was quite good in them, and then in my plus two, computer science took my fancy, other than these and English, I’ve been a major cause of concern for both my parents and my teachers” still Saurav is crazy about subjects he loves. He takes internet as a most important tool in his research, studies and all academic works. Not only is this but he quite confidential in saying that “no engineer today can truly work on the cutting edge of technology without the use of internet”.
