My mom says, she and my dad came up with my name even before I was born Suryakant. I almost hated my name through out my High school every Sucka calling me Chandrakanta as that was the Serial being telecasted over DD at that time, well that didnt bother much. When I went out with my Mom, all the Uncles wud ask my name and I wud decently reply Suryakant and then they will try to show how intelligent they are and wud suffix my name with Tripathi Nirala. That guy troubled me all my life untill I came to IIIT where the sense of humour rised above these name tricks….but still believe me there were some ppl here too who wud say in there flow….STN[1].

Finally when I learned to use google in my first sem I tried searching for Suryakant Patidar as everyone did with their names. Wat I got was same STN and not one neither 2 but a Google(10 ^ 100 :: 1 followed by 100 0s) results. I was frustoo.

In my second year, I worked on ImageMagick a software on Linux platform for some operations on images. At the end of the project Prof. PJN asked me to send a mail to the ImageMagick ppl and ask them to include the changes I have made in the software. I did so and got an entry of my email ID in their database, and one day I searched for Suryakant Patidar[2] and I got the first link pointing at my name in the ImageMagick database (it still does)

and Finally as the post is getting longer and I got to read for the grattte HSSM, Yesterday I searched for Suryakant and YESS I did it I got the first link pointing to my Blog at Students.IIIT.NET

I did it, after a long period of 21 years I have proved that I m the most important of the Suryakant’s in the world and mind u it includes STN.

And, yes I m starting a sentence with __and__, finally wats the key to this achievement. Yes ofcourse my capabilities as site developer, a Gud Copy Cat (Thnks a Lot SMR) and the MOST IMP part such a gud name assigned (:P) to me by my parents. Thnks Mom n Dad….
