You know what happens, the hair becomes dry, very dry. </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://saaketh-preetham.blogspot.com/feeds/8468262415197806747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1596680963964876003&amp;postID=8468262415197806747' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1596680963964876003/posts/default/8468262415197806747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1596680963964876003/posts/default/8468262415197806747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://saaketh-preetham.blogspot.com/2010/05/cribbing.html' title='Cribbing !'/><author><name>Saaketh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00403767330540368934</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H7Hi9upJuC8/SwfSjkFokkI/AAAAAAAAByQ/oOq7QRZcxxs/S220/DSC02706.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596680963964876003.post-6698399707278030138</id><published>2010-05-23T19:57:00.003+05:30</published><updated>2010-05-23T20:10:41.952+05:30</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Business'/><title type='text'>The excitement !!</title><summary type='text'>What happens when a kid who just started his business, gets to meet a multimillion dollar company chairman and ceo through his contacts, shakes hand, sips tea at his residence and discusses work with him?
