During his working hours, he has complete sway over the area. You will never find another beggar in his vicinity. He takes an auto on his way home too. Stops at Yashraj Studios for a change of clothes.

5. Name: Doesn't matter, A Software Engineer (Double Graduate :D)
Software Engineer's Assets: Some old C++, Java, Cryptography Books worth 10,000 INR. Rest all Assets are based on EMI's (Easy Monthly Installment) so it's the bank that owns it and not me.

Works @: Doesn't Matter, Sometimes even sitting on the Kamod.
Working Hours: Day and Night
Family: 1 Intel Pentium 4 3.8 GHz CPU, 1 Flat monitor, 1 mouse, and 1 keyboard.
His worth: Depends on the Tester, If the tester files several critical bugs @ a time then he's useless :)
Cool Quotient: Whenever he opens his mouth he knows speaks only C, C++, and Java. Never fires anyone, only he gets fired everywhere. The only time he stays cool is when he gulps down two large shots of JD (Jack Daniel, Obviously someone else is paying for those shots :D).
ENJOY
