"YOU CAN CALL ME CHANG or CHENG"....
How Kiran Kumar MR, became CHANG/CHENG is a Lonnnnggggg story..........and not important at all.
Ah....Kiran Kumar MR, aka CHANG....the self proclaimed Kannada actor...I first met him among the 200 people who joined as part of TRAM project in Mphasis.
He was part of my team, and was only person in the team who knew what OM is (at that point).
The first close encounter with this dude was when, he took first half leave to watch Upendra's new movie : SUPER.
He came back and said, he will watch the movie again on Sunday.How Kiran Kumar MR, became CHANG/CHENG is a Lonnnnggggg story..........and not important at all.

Me : Is the movie so damn good Kiran?
Kiran : hey,....I dnt know ok...I was so busy shouting, screaming and whistling, that I didnt understand the story.
:-)
Its been fun with Kiran. We were gossip Queen/Kings. Analyzing people, reporting affairs, noting secrets n politics going on, working together in same team, and most importantly : fighting like kids.
He "says" and tries to prove he is a health conscious guy :
1. Loves Salads (He made my brother write various salad recipes. He still has those pieces of paper in his bag)
2. Drinks lots of green tea.
3. Cooks food at home , to avoid outside food.
Guess what, to balance this out : He smokes cigarettes (Chain smoker: Trust me) and Drinks (whenever he has nothing to do)
He once confessed, he never had any crush or any feeling for any female till now in his life....Thats why I concluded that he is not straight.
Also, I always felt there is something going on between him n Prabin. hush hush......:-P
Kiran, Prabin and Me had awesome times together. Our Adda was the under construction place in SEZ building. We used to spend ample part of our days, sitting there and gossiping. Which later shifted to basement area (Kiran was thrown out of that place later by the security guards).
Wow....those times in the organization. We had no work at all....Spend all the time crying about it, planning life, depressed with life, happy with new projects and gossiping OFCOURSE.
Its still a mystery for me, what exactly does he wants from life.
He spent 80k (under Prabin's guidance) for some camera and hasnt clicked even one single pic from it. His logic is, he cnt take camera outside, since its costly.
He also aspires to be a director in Kannada film industry.
He is very helpful. He befriended a auto driver and took lot of pains to refer the auto drivers daughter somewhere n get her a job.
The 4th floor, 8th floor, my home made food, Food court, Oasis, Andra mess ::::The places we used to have lunch together. The memorable places.
Have to give a special mention for : Donne Biryani (Food Court)
So, I can conclude Food stuck us together.
Actually it still does. That's why our list of food joints keep on increasing :
Barbeque nation (multiple times, for Kiran's love for Prawns)
Oyster bay (His bday treat, where he said he didnt like the watch we gifted him)
Sidewalk Cafe (Prabins Bday treat...where kiran had only salads)
Some place in Koramangala (where he paid the bill for no reason)
Some place near Domlur : (Where Kiran broke a glass and it was so very embarrassing for Me n Prabin...ha ha ha)
Koshys (the latest get together)
And the first one :
INDI JOE
That reminds me...this is the place where is announced his official name change to "KIRAN CHENGAPPA" from "KIRAN KUMAR MR". Reason yet not understood by many...even after multiple explanations from Kiran himself.
Btw, which means we need to address him as : CHANG or CHENG, so that it sounds cool.
What makes Kiran different :
1. His love for Kannada movies.
2. His love for Upendra n Mahesh babu.
3. His craze to watch his fav movies : first day/first show.
4. His love for the old classic hindi songs.
5. His efforts for being health conscious.
6. His craze for recipes and new cuisines
6. He gossips a lot (unlike normal guys)
7. He goes beyond ways to help people.
8. You didnot notice I used number six twice.
9. Now you just went back to check.
10. Yep true, its an old Joke
11. I wanted list to look long
12. And he doesnt have enough good things to mention
13. Oh, I got some more.
14. The way he poses for cameras
15. His Love for smoking
16. His Love for Prabin
17. His Love for all guys...(lol)
