Pritam was bang on about his description of Gautam .
Personally I would like to add the trait Gautam has I have seen people that way, who cannot take criticism from peers ...They normally listen to people who are stature wise above them (by above I do not mean elders or in age , but socially ,power wise above them) because it benefits them or keeps them in good books of those people. .Friendship with such people if you are not useful to them is one way road where you need to be prepared to only give and not get anything in return.
