        Tahole Abdul Bari Mridha had atleast some effect on

        pointless existence. Hm. BTW, speaking of Bari Sir,
        I remember an interesting anecdote. You were done
        with your SSC at the time (I'm pretty sure, but I
        could be wrong) and were judging in the Youth Fair
        (or whatever it was called) Quiz Competition. I
        was in the finals for class VII Panthers against
        VIII Comets. One of the questions was 'what does
        "A.B.M." stand for?' I was so tempted to reply
        "Abdul Bari Mridha" that I jumped out of my seat
        in excitement. But some Class VIII-er beat me to
        the bell, and I couldn't say anything. But you
        looked at me with eyes full of vehement disapproval
        at my unrestrained display of unsportsmanly
        enthusiasm. =)
