VON "It's a Small World" - Take 2
What do Vivek Khuller, CEO and Founder, DiVitas Networks and I have in common? The answer is more interesting than you might expect.
I met with Vivek on Wednesday morning. We went through the stock briefing and then he asked me where I lived. I said "DC" and he asked where. I said "Northern Virginia," but then indicated I had lived in Maryland for quite a while, including Greenbelt when I was working at the University of Maryland....
Turns out that Vivek was working on his Master's in EE at the University of Maryland College Park and running a lab for the Systems Research Center (SRC) at about the same time I was running the CAD Lab for Mechanical Engineering. He was over in the AV Williams Building while I had been in the Engineering building, but we started comparing where we lived and who we knew and where we ate and it got pretty scary pretty quickly.
We both lived in the Springhill Lake apartment complex at one point. He might have been my neighbor, for all I know. We also ate at some of the same restaurants and went to the "Vu," also known as the Rendezvous Inn.
Had to explain to his PR person about the "sticky shoes" you got from the beer at the Vu...
