I met Vinod Khosla

During JavaOne this year Rags and I went to a nice South Indian restaurant, Dosa, in San Francisco. This is an excellent place by the way and I highly recommend it. I was looking around and it seemed like we were the only PIO (Persons on Indian Origin) around until I spotted a family sitting just behind us. On closer observation it looked like someone familiar. I checked twice and quitely told Rags, "Hey Vinod Khosla is sitting behind us?"

We debated for a few minutes if it was right to intrude but better wisdom prevailed and we walked up to him and actually shook his hands.He was pretty gracious and freely chatted with us. This was definitely one of the highlights of JavaOne for me.

For those of you who do not know Vinod, he is the founder of Sun He is also the founder of Daisy Systems and Khosla Ventures and help start companies like Juniper networks and Excite etc. See his WikiPedia Entry for more details.
