Kartick Maheshwari
From Nlsiu Batchof2005
Kartick Maheshwari, your best friend who is also your worst enemy. Total package. He has been protecting his honor from desi women in Philly, after all since he will have the highest income in your batch next year Marwari mamma's in Calcutta have already got their daughers lined up.
"Slimeball", "lovely", or "Maheshwari" (among the many nicknames he's picked up overtime), besides richly deserving the first one, also happens to be a great great friend who would go to any extent to support or defend his friends. As the long-suffering roommate of his close friends Man-Chow and Vishnu, Slime showed his roommates how roommates are not only tolerable but also can be a great source of support and encouragement. His main target in 2007 Ganga was of course Captain who was tactically introduced to all those brilliant computer games and magazines just on the eve of exams or project submissions. But a guy who always had jokes lined up about people was also the best sport when it came to jokes about him --no one else could have lived through all those jokes about his (tragic) liason with that fair PYT :).
And beneath that much laughed at CGPA (especially by his close friends), lay one of the sharpest commercial law minds in the class (if not, the sharpest!). His commercial acumen was at the fore when Economic Times published several articles in their "Corporate Counsel" section from a law student who's vowed to be the Gordon Gekko of the legal world ("The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works." -- Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street c.1987; Kartick Maheshwari (as himself) in "Marwari Liar" c.2006).
After a much enjoyed stint at Ivy League U Penn, Slime turned down so many offers from glitzy New York and Bombay law firms that he's lost track -- but he's going to be joining tony Davis Pork Wardwell and says he hopes to make partner in five years!
Dicha Kabadi hai... The only person who'd publicize remarks about himself. Ref. Vishnu's 'looks like a snake lunging for Richa Roy' (wrt Richa's page three pic), Kartick calls up everyone to make sure they've read the email... (thinking about Snakes, Slimeball is also rumoured to have a snake tucked away somewhere :)
