What my Friends think about me !!!

Alpa: "Hey yogi, this is the last thing i wanted to do for you......I dont have enough energy to write all that you are...but let me try. He is passionate and gives everything his best. He has tremendous energy and enthusiasm to learn, to grow and to make friends. Keeping people motivated is his forte and being with them when they really need him is his habbit. Knowing Yogi i have realised that thinking small is crime, I have not seen him doing any thing half-heartedly. Warm, loving and sentimental all these qualities go well with is un-comprimising spirit. He loves Mumbai and can fight a sumo to prove it. But I must say that this is the person I have fought the most with. This guy thinks he is superman who can do anything and is not made of the same flesh as other human beings. In his work he sometimes forgets himself completely. There are few things he fears badly and anyone would be amazed to know this face of the same guy. He looks really cute when he is afraid ;). And we enjoy it the most....right nits!!!. One can irritate him any time by secretly talking to some other person in front of him.....try it, its a lot of fun. He hates not calling him by his name. He sometimes, rahter most of the times reminds me of SRK. While watching SRK movies I miss Yogi bear, his stupidities and his silly smile. He knows doing right things inspite of fear is courage. No doubt he was one of the courageous guys who helped people reach home safely when mumbai was flooded in Aug 2005. Will keep on adding to this develish angel's blog in times to come......"

Samrat: Its been sometime that we have been friends, but I always remember that Yogesh could bring a group together like QuickFix glue. Light moments have always been a plenty whenever Yogi has been around. People dont realise that as much as Yogesh is a great people's person, he is never afraid to speak his mind......... To people who know him, 'Being Yogi' (as in "Being John Malkovitch") is a concept!! Whereever he is, he is gonna make sure everyone joins in the fun and no one is left out! He is also my marg darshak. When we were is Sion school initiative together we had just a few committed boys and gals coming to teach the kids on saturdays, now the numbers have grown and the movement is alive and kicking....Yogi,YOU WERE MISSED at this years Dandiya Raas(2006)...the good cheer was missing too...but when you are back, it will be "Happy days are here again!" Take care Buddy!

Shweta: Good things about you: U r helpful, Whatever Knowledge u have u like sharing it, ur communication skills r very strong. Not that good things about u: Now plz don't scold me. Aap jhoot bohat bolte ho. Lekin ab tak to aap sach bolna seekh gaye hoge.

Vandana: U already know that you are a sweet and helpful guy and a good friend... One of the very few people in the world who are not selfish; U r always ready to help your friends at any time of the day!! Of course, what I like THE MOST is the way u ride ur bike - really fast! (just kidding - I have really enjoyed my bike rides) 'Yogi' is also extremely quick at learning new stuff, imagine, u can challenge Veeru to a game of TT anyday, though he was the one who taught u! But, I wish u were not so possesive ...To be loved and cared by someone is a great feeling, but u should give your loved one more space of their own.

Raveen: Thinking of u , i move back to the first day when we met....... That was our sorry session and i never know that we would bcm such gud friends Ur varying interests in sports and nature and ur keenness to learn and rise surely makes u unique in ur own way wht i lk abt u is the way u handle things....taking thm so cool, lekin kabhi-kabhi tumhe samajh kyun nahi aata And, no one can beat u up in nautanki................... U know u r d most helpful person here at FSS, but when u and raabia gets together.................. Oh God!!!!!!!!!!!! Who would help me now?? Where is the brain hospital yaar?? And ya, i forgot to mention that yogi the great don't know any one language out of hindi, marathi or english......... well, just kidding........ur comm skills r great. Hope to c u in managerial position soon........

Raabia: A very fun loving guy.....and nice at heart.You are very jolly who keeps laughing at all times... Your silly jokes.............ufffffffffffffffffffff But still you are very helpful who can go out of the way to help others.. Got to know what really irritates you.....thanks to your sis I will definitely try it...all of them of course ..."Sir" Aur bhi bahut "secrets" pata chale hain ;-), Aapko pareshaan kar ke bahut maza aata hai...

Bijal: Yogi D Bear... Nicknamed after a popular Cartoon show, Yogi D Bear.... can be summed up in a few words.. Artist...Happy Go Lucky... And Wild about Wild life. Keep up the great work you are doing for animals, people and almost everyone!...

Mangal: yogi bhai aapki website ban gayi ki nahi?? likho ki tum bahut hi sushil, sanskari, swarupwan aur jo bhi "s" se start hote adjective likh do.....u deserve tht ;-) wht say udit???

Love For all the times I know you, you have been wonderful. Always active and up with things around. One charger for all the discharged batteries around and yes also the kishan for the gopies in the town.

Shirisha Yogesh could bring a group together like QuickFix glue. Light moments have always been a plenty whenever Yogesh has been around, Aur ek hi baat kehna hai tumse... tumhare baare mein.. itna bz rehte ho ki mail bhi to nahi karte.. apne site dekh ke hi hame yaad karoge kya!? ;-) :-))never has copy+paste been so 'creative'

Apna: I first met Yogesh at Ranthambhore. He was part of a group that had no idea why they were there in the first place. The world of nature and wildlife was entirely new to them.. The camp was over in three days but our association with yogesh continued in Mumbai as well and soon he became on of our key crusaders in his company. He was always there for any help we needed in terms of mobilizing people for a shramdaan or just getting people to come for a nature walk early on a Sunday morning. Yogi, as he is called by all those who know him is one "green techie". He has taken it upon himself to do whatever he can for the environment and he is the perfect example of how an individual can make a difference in his surroundings in a huge and positive way. As a person he comes across as being very friendly and that is the best part about him... and he is a true friend. he came down all the way from Delhi to Mumbai to help out on a big event that we had recently.. don't know anyone who would do that.. yogi bear you are a champ! Aye saala, hamesha aise hi rehna.... -- The WHOLE world steps aside for the man who knows where he is going....

Krishna: A straight forward person, with good technical knowledge. I knew you would reach heights, and you are proving it. A very good artist. Remember : Every person,all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there.What you choose to do with them is up to you.....

Mangal: Hey everbody, he is a gem of a person.Intelligent ,naughty, friendly , ever helping attitude and what not. Not only is he a verrrrry good frn of mine but i think everyone he calls his frnd, he acts a true frnd to him ... his sense of humor .. u know is a different kind of sense .. no .. i mean goooood!!! :-)) Since we left there is no change in his behavoiur but looks wise as he has put lots of extraordinary qualities in him!!! He has a genuine aura around him which is infectious....Has an unique ability to create a cheerful enviornment wherever he goes...Intelligence comes quite naturally to him and one of the rarest persons to exploit all corners of his cognitive abilities in multi dimensions....Be it fun,PJs,wits or testing some telecom feature ;-) ....Say Hi Yogi!!!!!!!

Juhi: Mr. Yogesh Pathare - Senior Telecom Enginner, Flextronics. Was with TCS in year 2005. Got to know him through Sanctuary Asia. Friends since 2005. Thank you.
