Where’s Waldo?

Turns out, I’ve now got a new nickname courtesy of the new batch of exchange students that got to campus in term 7 at ISB.

I’m supposedly Waldo, this tall, thin character with big glasses and a striped sweat-shirt, which just about describes how I looked the first evening our flat-mates threw a party last week, where these students from various B-schools were all invited.

Given how tough it is to pronounce my name, ‘Hari’, I think Waldo will do just fine! This character is basically shown amongst a bunch of people, usually numbering in the hundreds and the task at hand is to spot him in the crowd. There’s apparently an interactive version on video gaming consoles too, which require you to spot him, just like in the original paper versions.

Since I can blend in with crowds easily and slip past unnoticed (Mossad, are you listening?!), I’d say this is indeed a proper nickname! Oh, and just for added effect, here’s Waldo for you!

Here's Waldo!

I just need to grow my hair and lose some weight!
