Rajiv Chakravarthy
Member since Fall 2004

Rajiv stems from the upper reaches of India, where rice farming and cattle worshiping are the most common of daily activities. Once when he was six years old his village shaman told him he would one day travel to a land of great wealth and would make enough money to buy his village their very own cow, but Rajiv instead travelled to America and joined Emocapella. He has never looked back, probably because he was banished from his village for sleeping with the Shaman's daughter. "Rajiv" means "Prince" in his native tongue, and he will be sure to let you know that if you meet him. "Chakravarthy" means "one who associates with poop" but he probably wont tell you that. Rajiv has many nicknames, including but not limited to: Raj, Rajmeister, RajRaj, Jar, JarJar, that indian dude, and Cole Porter. Today Rajiv can be seen walking around GW eating hamburgers, singing along to the smooth sitar sounds of Ravi Shankar, and just generally affecting his karma. Rajiv hopes one day to be one with Moksha, but at this rate he'll probably be reincarnated as a desk lamp.
