The Editor's Nostalgia

I cannot bring myself to believe that four years in Azad Hall have passed so quickly and now it's

time for us to say goodbye. And when I try to pen down my thoughts or compile my memories in

retrospect, I am stumped because what words can do justice to the effort that we put behind each

and every event right from Illumination and Gymkhana elections in our 2nd yr, to the Tech GC the

next year, to the gold, oh, the glorious gold in dramatics and finishing with the lead in two GCs last

year, and finally the highs and lows of this year.

I am particularly proud of my batch and biased towards it because we as a batch played a pivotal

role in the way things went around the hall and raised the bar in every single event. I still

remember when I was a second year, how we were in awe of our 5th years; since then we have

seen 8 batches right down to the current first year, and we have evolved with each of them. At the

end of it all, I believe I have crossed off almost everything on my hall bucket list – Winning a GC –

done, A victory march for winning the GC – done, bashing up your rivals after winning the GC –

done, winning the gymkhana elections and the VP – done, twice ( ),

winning that elusive gold in dramatics – done, ending the year with a lead in two GCs - done and

so the list would never end. But the best part of it was how all the people got together to make

the above mentioned things happen, how much fun we had and of course how we held ourselves

together in dark times. We learnt from our senior batches and we effected the change, we built

teams over three long years and yes, we did taste success, a lot of it. Of course we could never win

Illumination or the Socult and Sports GCs (officially), but there must always be something left on

the bucket list, something to look forward to, and something we wish that our talented juniors will

achieve for we believe they have all that it takes to win the world for Azad.

Which brings me to my message for the hall: yes, we did fail in some aspects this year, but it is

nothing to be disappointed about. Rather, the absence of success must make you thirsty for more.

For those who are intimidated by the uphill tasks in the years to come, or those who were

dejected this year, I will say -

“If I need a cause for celebration

Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind

I rely on my imagination

And I dream of an imaginary time.”

That imaginary time is not far. We have all that it takes to convert this imagination to reality, to a

reality that exceeds all levels that our imagination can conceive, to the GC, to success, because

there is . We have the tempo, the talent and the people to

achieve this success, only if we believe in ourselves, coordinate our efforts towards this one

common goal- in a pursuit towards the shimmering deceiving land called . We have to

raise ourselves higher for a brighter tomorrow, a tomorrow of which we as a hall will be proud of.

Let the times to come be our moment in the sun. Here's wishing that this sun will shine much

brighter for years.

Cheers to us… and of course

even got a bit bored with it

nothing more intoxicating than success

perfection

- YO AZAD!!!

From The Warden's Desk

I am proud of staying in this hall and enjoying the glorious events and the achievements in

succession. The boarders have shown true spirit in academic and extra-academic activities to bring

the reputation of our Hall being one of the best in the institute.

The management skills of the Hall Council Members are appreciable from the point of view of

maintenance, Mess Bill and Security as well. Average condition of the boarders has remained

comfortable to the mass in general. I hope the glorious past of the Hall will continue to enhance

the future by maintaining excellent trends as usual.

I wish the entire outgoing boarders a very prosperous career ahead and I welcome the newcomers

with a wish for their personality full of vigor and vitality.

From the Hall President's Desk

Fellow Azadians,

It's that time of the year again when you run out of words, when you look back in retrospect at the

year gone by and remember the days and nights of hard work put in various events, the highs and

the lows and try to pen down these memories of a lifetime.

But as a Hall President's article, a formal report of last year's events is in order. The year began

with the successful conduction of KHOJ '10 without a major chaos. I appreciate the efforts that 2

years put in the same. Following this, Illumination was conducted after a gap of a year. It was a

great platform where everyone came out of their rooms and performed their part with great

temperament. All the memories of my 2 year got refreshed. It was nice to see 4 and 5 years

climb on top of chatais to tie up the loops and suddenly we were back in our 2 yr working

fervently to get it done. We tried a few new things this year, but in the end I am happy to say that

we will be very well prepared for the next year as we successfully passed down the funda to our

juniors.

The passion of each and every participant for gold brought laurels for the hall in the General

Championships and results came accordingly. In Sports GC, we returned to our golden times in

. We had our long-awaited medals in (Silver) and (Bronze) and Silver in

olleyball and eightlifting. The achievements by the freshers' in aquatics are praiseworthy. In

Social and Cultural GC, we had awesome performances throughout the year. We were almost on

the verge of lifting both the and the cups but things didn't go our way in

the end. Though we did not have much luck in dramatics events this year, but our beloved

'Banchharam' will remain alive in the hearts of everyone, needless to mention the excellent work

by the Fine Arts team in each of them. Our winning culture in Tech GC still lives. We gave a close

fight in almost all the events ending the year on a high note.

For my batchmates and seniors who are passing out, I would say that the Hall would not be the

same without you guys. I wish the best of luck to all graduating Azadians for their future

endeavors and the newly elected HCM for the year ahead.

From the Desk of Second Senate Member

Yet another year has passed and with the efforts of the new lot of enthusiastic freshers and the

guidance and support of the seniors, we have been to retain the glory of AZAD in the minds of all

Kgpians.

Throughout the year, we had a series of events ranging from Illumination to the General

Championships, where we got opportunities not only to develop our skills but also to strengthen

the bond among juniors and seniors. Conduction of Illumination after a gap of one year was a

major achievement. Illu, undoubtedly, provides the platform where every boarder, irrespective of

whichever year he belongs to, work together as a family for the place which we proudly call our

home, AZAD.

We put up quite a number of wonderful performances in all the three General Championships. In

the field of social and cultural, I would personally like to praise the excellent devotion of Fine arts

team in rangoli, FARTS Cup and in the Dramatics events. Our English dramatics production,

“Banchharam's Orchard”, under the guidance of the charismatic duo KG-Suthar was amazing and

won appreciation by each and everyone who watched it. We did put up brilliant shows in both

eastern and western groups.

We had a wonderful year in sports GC, with the gold in hockey. Here again most of our teams

comprised of the newbies in the hall. In Tech GC we maintained our record of gold in case study.

Though ad-design couldn't fetch any medal, but the idea and concept was awesome.

On the whole it had been a year of both crest and troughs. We have to learn from our mistakes as

well as we have to put our heart and soul in all the events where e came out with flying colors.

We are going to miss the immensely talented graduating batch of 2010. The void created by your

absence is tough to be filled. All e expect is your love and guidance in the years to come.

The Year that was…

It's that time of the year again, when everything has been said and done, and one tends to sit and

think about where we started from and where we actually are, the hard truth being that we ended

3rd in the GC. Looking back, I believe in spite of our standing, in spite of our failure in bagging

gold, there were some very promising trends which will grow in the coming year. But before I write

about those, a formal report about the past one year is in order.

Khoj 2009 was a grand success with no mishaps and was very well organized with a huge

participation. Undoubtedly we made a huge impact of AZAD on the fresher's. Then came

Illumination and Rangoli. I personally congratulate the whole Rangoli team and kudos to the

second year junta who turned up and lived up to the expectation. Illumination was organized with

a lot of new experiments. Taking such risks with new experiments was in order because we had to

do something phenomenal and new to get gold. Some of the experiments did succeed but

unfortunately a few of them failed which cost us the 'the pot of rasgullas'. Still, in terms of tempo

this year was as grand as could be. But what was heartening to see was the 2nd years after

working the whole night, coming again voluntarily in the afternoon to start from where they left,

with some deciding not to leave their post three tables high until they finished their Chatai! Mykudos and heartiest congratulations to all of them. I also thank all my seniors who turned up inhuge numbers and showed the same tempo which they had exhibited two years back and kept the2nd years going. With our experience from this year and the present tempo I believe we can pull itoff next year.

Now focusing on the GC, the Entertainment cup was lost by just a few points which were mostunfortunate. Hats off to the whole Entertainment team and all others who contributed to it! Welost even the Literary cup by just a few points again, though, we ended the year on a happy notewith gold in English Elocution. Drams cup started with a very different note, unexpected andgloomy, this year. Even after great performance In English dramatics we failed to impress thejudges. There are a lot of lessons to be learned though from this year's performance, a few areaswhere we will definitely work upon the next year. My kudos to the Fine Arts team, especiallyMrityu and Anuj who showed exemplary dedication in all Fine Arts events.

I accept that amidst the chaos of last year and many talented seniors passing out, we have anuphill task ahead. But the present 2nd years showed a lot of promise for the times to come. Ibelieve that if we really practice hard without getting complacent we can bring the GC home nextyear. On this note I would like to wish the next G. Sec Socult the best of luck for the next year andsign off one last time from this glorious post.Yo Azad!!

The Highs and Lows of a G.Sec Tech

As I sit down to write about the events that transpired over the past year, I have to grudginglyadmit that luck definitely did not help us this time round. We certainly didn't do everythingcorrectly. But in spite of all this we managed to finish in the top three ranks of 2 GCs, Soc-cult andTech. We came very close to win Lit cup and Ent cup. We pulled off a gold in Open IIT Englishdrams, managed to do nothing short of spectacular in Inter Hall English drams and drew bolt fromthe blue in Hindi drams. We also managed to grab many more good things in Fine Arts.

But in spite of these laurels and just missed ones, the most pleasurable aspect of this year remainsthe mix of talent and tempo we found in the new 2nd year batch. Last year, we were pretty surethat we'll be in deep water once the five pillars of our drams team (for the uninitiated, they areKG, Suthar, Dhiman, Arka and Shaurya) pass out. But when they are actually passing out, werealize that we have a whole cache of talented juniors in the likes of Makkhi, Harihar, Kaustubh,Nautiyal and all. We've found one of the most bankable voices ever in Aaron (be it Ent or Lit, he isa pure winner, everywhere) and one of the most melodious ones in Saurav. Add a very skilled andcommitted Fine Arts and Lit team to the pot, be sure we can make it really big next year.

But as they say, too much of soc-cult talk, spoils a G sec Tech's write up. So, let's concentrate onthe stuffs I'm passing on to Mr. Srinivas Reddy.

We had a hell lot of ill fates and a resultant dry semester in the autumn but the great efforts weput in Product Design and Ad Design certainly set the tempo for the whole year. Come springsemester and we scripted a great fight back. A Chem Innovation Bronze was closely followed bygold in Case Study (thanks to Ricky, Rohit, Sushant and Chauhan) and Silver in Opensoft. Wefinished our run of this year with Silver in Hardware Exhibition and just one event away from thelaurel. But we certainly won the glory at stake.

I cannot possibly include the names of all those 2nd years who added lots of value to our techteam, but as a mortal, I will try to name most of them. Pratyush, Ravi, Srinivas, Ankit, Prateek,Rohit, Ritesh, Mavani, Pappu, Sagar, Mrityu, Sahu, Nitish, Mantu, Atish, Aabhas, Bala, Gaurav,Arijit, Anirban, Snehan, Rahul, Kamble, thanks a ton for all those valuable contributions when wereally needed them. And I really don't want you guys to miss the GC treat next year. And believeme, if you all contribute in the same manner you did this year, there is no way we can miss it.

And to all of my seniors, it was really a great pleasure to work with all of you! Sorry for all thecases when I faltered, for all the instances where I failed to raise the bar or dropped it. And thanksa ton for teaching me lessons I needed and for making me wiser.

Maintaining the Balance

End of yet another eventful year...........

A year of adaptation and learning, a year filled with chaos, but at the end, I am proud thatAzadians stood together and emerged victorious.

My tenure as the General Secretary, Maintenance started with a week of sleeplessness and'frustapa'. Room allotment was even more difficult with the first years and the involvement ofHMC. I had a few meetings with the HMC chairman, Warden and a couple of other professors inwhich I was provided insight into who can get a DC and various other options(:P). Finally Imanaged to settle everyone down. I thank my batchmates and second years for their co-operationand putting up with it for most part of the year.

Even thought I tried my best, this year the maintenance of the hall went down a notch, due to thevarious construction works, blame games between construction and sanitary departments,problems regarding the terms of Sweeping contract and involvement of political parties in theSweeping Contract. I thank the boarders for keeping up with this.

Thought this is my first real ILLU, we managed to put up a decent show, thanks to all the seniorsand juniors who helped me out a lot. (I loved the debates with the juniors). I hope I will be able totake up the role of my seniors and help in putting up a better ILLU next time.

The Gymkhana elections were chaotic again, and unfortunately we did not manage to bag any postof a General Secretary due to some “unexpected developments”, but we did learn a lot from thisand I am damn sure that next year Azad will be on top again.

The first years showed great spirit in ILLU and every other hall event even thought they wereforced to stay away in MMM due to unavoidable circumstances. They displayed the true spirit ofan AZADian. I hope they will keep it up in the years to come.

I would like to thank all the other HCM for their support and co-operationFinally....... YO AZAD!!!!!!!

Don't let it go

The past one year was a great experience working as a G.sec Mess. It wouldn't be anunderstatement when I say that, along with the MCM members, I kept myself busy to help themess function effectively. There were some tough and good times. At the end of it all we learned alot, experienced something really new, and, even listened to a lot of comments, complaints andcompliments.If anyone ever felt that I gave diplomatic answers or tried to procrastinate things, I assure you thatwas never the case. I feel my interaction with the workers was extremely good, and I have beenencouraging and motivating them during the good and bad times, and I believe, not only me butall the boarders should take up some of this responsibility.

Now let us look into the present and future scenario of our mess.The present system we are following is the centralized tender system, where the authorisingpower of the students has declined. Previously we used to have a tender system at the hall levelwhich gave more autonomy to the students, which is why I believe that a change is required here.

Future avenues would include the privatization of mess; but the important thing I would like torepeat is that we can control the quality as long as the decision making is in our hands, so pleasedo not let the mess be dependent on the HMC, rather let us take matters in our own hands.

To reiterate it has been a good journey, working on the great foundation laid by Gulati and Rathi. Ihope I continued the good work and convey my best wishes to the next G. Sec and hopeeverything functions smoothly.

Cheers

Journey of Life

Do we ever wonder, when we are passing one day after another, that we are actually on ajourney....a journey, where we decide our own destinations, we prepare our own maps, we selectour own routes and still we keep coming across new places everyday-new places, new people andnew emotions....a journey that we all have in common but still it is different and special for eachone of us....yes, it is the exciting and adventurous journey that we all have embarked upon- thejourney of life!

Since our childhood, something that each one of us learns involuntarily, without having to betaught, is to dream. Weaving our dreams carefully into thoughts and thoughts into goals, wekickstart the endless pursuit of life. In a way, we are all artistes, painting our favorite drawings onthe canvas, using the colours we like.

The habit of dreaming big, the journey to follow goals takes us to places we never thought wecould go, makes us meet people which we would never have met otherwise and fills up eachmoment of our life with bitter-sweet experiences which we carry forward on our way. In the caseof us kgpians, this journey brought us here, to this place called IIT Kharagpur .We graduallydissolved in its fervour and became a part of the famous kgp cluture. We were all here, withdifferent interests, different choices, trying to blend into one homogeneous mass of kgpians- abreed that could go on to do anything in the world, from working on complicated engineeringproblems to managing multinational companies. We knew that the most crucial and at the sametime, the most enjoyable years of our life are going to be spent here.

A journey can only be enjoyable when you have somebody to share your joy with. And this veryfact led us into making a number of new friends, new mates in kgp. We started sharing our smalljoys and the smallest sorrows with these friends. Being together in classrooms, hostels, canteens...these friends became an integral part of our lives. The high-spirited moments of victory becameall the more triumphant because of them and the little moments when we felt bogged down, theywere always there to care and support.

Life here is never a bed of roses, and that we all know well. Shuttling in and out of classes throughthe day, and at the same time, managing a number of extra-curricular activities through nights andthe very popular night-outs. There is everything, from 'drams,' dance and music to sports andgames. The clock keeps ticking and you keep grabbing its hands, wanting it to stop and give yousome more time. It's like you are an athelete...You sweat and sweat but each drop keeps you goingfor more. Hats off to this place where human endurance exceeds the boundaries of space andtime! There are times when this breath-takingly pacy life decides to slow down. But this placeitself is brimming with so much zeal and vigour that it rejuvenates the worst of losers.

Then one day the vehicle of life suddenly decides to take a halt, leaving us on the brink of breakingdown. The day of saying goodbye to the place finally dawns. Tears well up in our eyes and we grownostalgic. The moments- both good and bad keep coming back to our memories, making thefarewell all the more difficult. The journey of life, unlike any other journey, often takes suchsudden turns, making us leave what we treasure most, to search for newer, undiscoveredtreasures.Nevertheless, we take up this challenge and surge forward in our journey, packing into our luggagememories....memories that will always stay with us no matter where we go!

Write It Down

I have always wondered what it would feel like to write an article. Not that I haven't “written”articles. Everyone has “written” something at some point. Some people end their writing with thelast language exam they have, and even though their last “written” piece gets them a distinction inthe exam. They don't care for writing. Some just have a nose for writing. They write to theirentertainment, their contentment, their enlightenment. They write because they are good at it. And,then there are people like me. We never write once we are done with schooling, we just producepieces from then on. Mostly these pieces are never written, they are typed. Parts of these pieces arecopied straight from the source.

After almost two years of having produced stuff, stuff ranging from case studies, essays, plays,debates, letters of request, and even one piece of Broadway musical, I feel like writing. Even if justonce, just once to express how I feel about not having “written” for so long. I just want feel thatspontaneity, that rawness, that true sense of originality. My piece should be one, not corrected by aspelling checker algorithm; nor supported by a thesaurus website, once I fall short of novelty ofwords, novelty of expressions; because true writing is about expression and no matter what kind oflanguage you use, your expression is what your piece stands for. I mean, there are various ways todisplay your prowess in using sophisticated words, take the GRE or take part in some verbal abilitytest or just take the CAT. There are ways to show your prowess in using catch phrases, quotes andso on, be a debater, or take up work in marketing. There are ways to show your general knowledge,be a quizzer or be a quizmaster, publish a quiz-blog or whatever.

Now, I don't want to be mistaken here. I don't mean to say writing must not include sophisticatedwords, cool and catchy phrases or general trivia. All that I intend to say point out is that, notwriting, just because you are not good at any of these or some of the other “central themes” forpieces is absurd. And, writing merely to showcase any of these skills is no less absurd.

So write, not for anyone else but for yourself. Because, even though producing pieces might giveyou fame, money, appreciation, recognition, and everything desirable, writing gives you qualitytime for reflection.

The Golden Days

Some time ago in history, there was a country. With the most diverse land on the face of the earth

and tremendous versatility in cultures, the great nation held pride. People then were happy and

merry. They celebrated all festivals with equal zest and loved each other more than they loved

themselves. The king took care of his subjects like a father. The land grew great amounts of food,

the cattle could flow rivers of milk, the sky showered love, the water was pure, and everything was

as perfect as a child's dream.

But good days stay only to be followed by the dark ones. Strangers from a faraway land once came

to the great state for evolving a beautiful relationship which would be of mutual interest. The

nation, open to new relations welcomed the guests heartily not only in the land, but also in the

hearts of the people. But the strangers meant something else. Slowly and schemingly they took

over the land and what once were kings, were reduced to puppets. A few paranoids got control of

the state once called the 'golden bird' by the world. The bird was now featherless but it didn't

retaliate as it thought first of the people whom it had respected and then of itself. The bastards

took advantage of the silence and raped the bird till it could stand no more. For once the soldiers

of the nation awakened and fought like never before. Bravehearts equipped with courage,

patriotism used the weapons of love, non-violence and satyagraha to fight for their mother. But as

nature would have it, they had to pay the price of a late revolt. The bird was saved but wingless. It

could not fly again. It fell on the earth with only the hope to touch the sky again. It was shattered,

destroyed, finished. The great legend was… over. The culprits went back to their motherland but

left their deeds here. Violence, racial discrimination, hunger for power, poverty, discontent

became the synonyms of the new land. Now government nothing but a race for power and who

could say more. Unhappiness was accepted as a natural part of people's lives. The golden bird was

now, dead.

But today, the times have changes since then. A resurrection is in the making. Another bird has

taken flight, partly golden. It stores in itself the wise principles of the ancient land and flies at a

place to meet the modern demand. It has challenges to overcome and problems to demolish.

Today people don't discuss the problems they have. Anyone who doesn't think like them 'just

doesn't understand' and anyone who thinks differently altogether 'is definitely mad.' No one has

time to sit down and think as they don't have time to get their cars fueled as they're too busy

driving it. A time has come when no one talks to no one. The land of 'we' is overcome by the

motto of 'me.' The government pays no heed to the wants of the people. Hypocrisy has overtaken

democracy. People have forgotten to be what they are and become 'what people want them to

be.' They talk of fighting terrorism but do not demolish the terror of LKK (log kya kahenge?) which

resides in them. Once proud of its diverse culture, religious and caste differences are what seem

'natural' today. People say 'what can a single person do by changing himself? What can I do alone?

What can anyone do alone? It's not my fault as I was quiet.' They don't realize that keeping quiet

was what caused this disaster. It is not a crime. It is a sin. Now it's the time to stand up and speak.

Now is the time to fight the inner demon. Now is the time to do it again. Now is the time for

resurrection. I am a soldier of the pen. I do my work and shall continue doing it. I hope you shall

find yours and do yours too. May you kill the inner monster soon.

Addicted for Life

Ooops…… !!

The smell is the first thing sensed. A nauseating one, that too, it hits the nose like a stone hurled

into the face. And there it lingers, as they inhale the smoke, intoxicating their minds and souls, if

such a thing exists. Their bodies, no longer controlled by their lost minds, shake wildly to the

sound of music. The ear-shattering music. Noise. And intoxication. The combination makes them

go insane, jumping onto each other, spilling the intoxicating fluid from the containers and

expletives from their foul mouths. The smoke still lingers, as their vision seems to blur and their

step seems to falter. Time flies by, though a sense of it exists only in their lost thoughts.

Containers are emptied as stomachs are filled with the fluid. The smoke vanishes slowly as it

disperses into their lungs. Yet, the intoxication lingers on........

It is blurry. Vague. I can see some black circles all around, probably some heads. No wait, there is

someone at the other end. Other end??of what?? Ohh....!!! I am sitting in some enclosure. That

person, I can't even see the face clearly, seems like that person is dressed like a man. He's moving

around. I suppose he's talking too. I don't hear a thing though. But whose is this voice? The voice I

hear. It is calling out my name. "Theja..!!, Thejaaa......!!!". That's my name...??!!!

a a a a a a a a a a r r r r r r r g g h h h h h h h h h h h h h . . . . . . . . ! ! !

my neck....!!!! a sharp, jerking pain. Clarity is falling into it's right place.

Oh no. The professor. He found me compensating my night out.

It Was Never there from the Other Side

After foppishing for an hourFinally I left to meet her,

For the reason I waited so longAs if appearing for an interview

Making me nervous of the result.The way I would start,

The reaction I would get…When I would tell what I feelI was waiting for her to comeAnd then my heart beat faster

And faster and fasterSeeing her, drenched me with sweat

And our eyes met…Both smiled and exchanged wishes

And then a long silenceWhich was shouting a lot

Her eyes talked to meAnd revealed that she was nervous too.

And then, on a lighter noteIt started with the weather of the day

And it went on and on…

Till suddenly, HE interrupted with 'Hi'And the reply wasA kiss by my girl.

The girl who was with meAnd it all pierced deep into my heart.

Appreciated, that the lad didn't join usBut it would not have mattered now,

As the maelstrom in my heart settled down,And the first date turned into

Just another date of the month.That halfhearted silent walk

Back to home made me realizeIt was never there from the other side...

Angel Dust

There are times,times when my heart whines.

It is you that it desires.It has been months,

months since we last met,But that moment I shall never regret.

I cannot fathom why,why I keep clinging,

when the world aroundme is changing.

There are so many starsfor me to see,

But you are theonly moon to me.

I don't know it's luck or fate,but in every girl,

I search for your face.My mind kept saying ,

you were never meant for me,still my eyes wept,

searching for you wherever I see.There are times,

times when I wonder,have I committed a blunder.

I very well know,that you can never be mine.

Still I guess,being in Love is divine.

Oh! How can it be?Someone whom I was so averse to,

is now this poem's addressee.You know me like an open book,

Still never in my heart,You will care to look.

Still I dare not getClose to you,

Lest, I might regretknowing all about you.

You may be my life's song,But, I fear,

we might never get along.There are times,

times I wish I could speak,But the words cannot come out.

20

There are times,times I wish for a kiss,

But my mind is full of doubt.Your thoughts give me the strength,

To face the world in all its might.It seems to me that,

For me this one sided love is just right.It is not that I don't want you,

It is that I don't want to lose the hope.The pangs of rejection,

the fear of non-affection.My feeling being so true,

it would be too much to cope.There are times,

times when I feel,these feelings are so unjust.

They come and leave,leaving scars like Angel Dust.

Night

It was the time when the eyes failedas little stars were all that hailed.

Without the moon in the sky soondarkness was the one which prevailed.

I sat there by the windowin that moonless sleepless night

and heard birds chirpinga sound which is ignored by the light

I thought how people disregardthis beautiful sound by the radiance

Don't the birds chirp all dayor we just have no time to lay

A wonder it is how we overlook something infront of usto think of things far ahead

living in the present was a thing of the pastFuture-thinking, that's our new cast

The wonderful chirping was disturbedby the sudden bark of the houndHe sat there watching his shadowmaybe he didn't like the sound.

Whatever it was I saw him at once,he was sitting there like a sculpture

But then suddenly he ran offbehind a car, prey for a vulture

He followed it far and then finally stoppedAnd then barked for a long time

And it was that time when I rememberedOf a question, long back heard“Will the dog ever catch a car?”

I laughed at the questioner and replied,“The question is not whether he'll catch one

The question is what'll he do if he does.”

In life we always runBehind things futile

Without ever stopping once to reflectWhat'll be the resile

We run behind materialism all our lifeWithout thinking once why we do itIt is for inner peace one would say

but I ask does inner peace come from outside?

22

Then something else makes me laughAre we living a life same as the dog?

Maybe that's why it is as sleepless as meBut I am shackled and he is free.

Another faint noise gets my attentionThis time it is a man I guess

He's shouting at someone is my deductionHearing the intensity and pitch of the blareMaybe it's a father scolding his drunk sonOr a man beating the woman he married

Or maybe just a man taking out frustration he brought alongFrom a hard day at work

Whatever it is it reminds meOf the swift society we boast

Where feeling are a thing of the pastAnd anger is the thing we live with most

But I see now rays of hopeNow coming across this eternal sky

And it is a beautiful sightWhere the day mixes with the night

Slowly contaminating the darknesswhich suppressed it for so long

Proving that darkness is just an illusionSoon to be shown by the lightAnd a beautiful picture it wasWhen the sky changed colorsBut now it will take away just

The peace and quietOf the night

Dream Lover

My life will be empty and aloneUntil I have my lover here

My arms will be empty and coldUntil I have my sweetheart near.

I will wake happy each morning after dreamingDreams of his sweet kiss and gentle touch

I will cry each night before I sleepA painful void in my heart, cause I miss him so much

Each day the time seems to go by more slowlyI try to keep him from my mindBut each time I close my eyes

He is there everytime

Looking deep into my eyesHe is in my heart and my mindI could search the world over

Another like him I would not find

So come join me dream loverStay with me the rest of your life

I'll be your best friend, your lover, your girlAnd forever I'll be your wife

We can grow old togetherSit and watch the decades go by

Happy and content in each others armsFrom today until the day we die

And when we are six foot underEven then together we will be

My spirit joined with yoursTogether forever in eternity

God And I

Why did u bring me to this world? God said,''Because it is a wonderful place to live in."

Why do u call this world a wonderful place? God said,"Look around the wonderful people you are surrounded with."

What is the purpose behind my living? god said,"The purpose is to give a meaning to your life."

How do i give a meaning to my life? God said,"Repeat the same question unto yourself over and over again."

Why do people suffer? God said,"Its because they deviate from my command."

What is your command? God said,"To live by truth and love."

What is Truth? God said,"Truth is not what you speak, its what your inner voice speaks."

Then, what is love? God said,"Any act by which the Giver and Receiver experience warmth and oneness amounts to love."

How do I experience this warmth and oneness? God said,"Use more of wisdom and less of knowledge."

Differentiate knowledge and Wisdom! God said,"The questions that you ask me are out of Knowledge and the answers I give are out of Wisdom."

Do I Live on that side of Life?

I Live on the blind side of the river of Life,the side seems within a hands reach,

still can't be seen from the coast or the beach.

I Live on the deaf side of the river of Life,their hustle, seems to bustle from our wall,

Not to be heard in the water floored sky domed hall.

I Live on the dumb side of the river of Life,I let go my complete self to my scream,But it does not hint any kind of beam.

I Live on the dry side of the river of Life,Dried of each and every feel,

Sense, can I , very near is the heal,but am not able to, as if barred with a seal.

Am I on a side of the river of Life ?Where there is no end to strife,

no end to longing, no end to life?Am i on a side of the river of Life?

Where the river itself burns its hive?

Where the river lets itself to the ocean,giving us the notion, it's the end to our strife.

It's the end of our longing ,it's the end of our life.

Twilight

Tired from the battles of the dayI take time to savor the sky twilight

A beautiful sight it is, I could not help but sharethe beauty of the dusk, the mystic sight.

I see the mighty sun before me,now, like a baby in it's mother's arms

slowly lulling into deep sleepcollecting all it's golden charms.

The crescent moon behind me reststhe evident king in the crowd of smalls

It smiles at me and I smile backand together we wait as the sun falls.

As the sun falls behind the horizonI give it a fierce stare

I realize the enemy if attacked when weakcannot do… but retreat to it's lair.

The moon shimmers calmthe sun blesses with warmth

the sky is dynamic, changing colors fastFrom pure magical white to dotted char.

I see the sun and recall the time gone byI see the moon dream of coming days

but my thoughts fail to changethe way time sways.

Standing in the middle of tomorrow and todayI now realize a very important fact

I will be taken in times to comeno matter how much I liked my past.

And I shall have to follow it's track'cause its time which has taken me so far

and made me understand thatlike today, tomorrow too, shall pass.

Another tomorrow will again cometo which I'd say no again

'cause I'd again be attached to my timebut I'd be dragged into the future, again.

27

Thinking this I learn an important lessonthat tomorrow, memories are what which only remain

and I'd collect each one of them, to live the present I loveand to cherish them, I'd live each one of them.

By living I do not mean just breathe through itnor I ask you to be happy alwaysI just ask you to make life such

that you smile when you look back upon it.

You smile 'cause you know you listened to your heartand know you carry no burden of guilt

you just became one with the time which passed with youand both, had a wonderful voyage, incomplete without the other.

You added to someone's lifeyou gave a message to love

you preached nothing you didn't practiceand you brought a smile to ones who had crying eyes.

You can't make time follow your rulesso you have to be one with it

and saying that the sun goes downgiving it's sky, to the moon.

Abhay 'G' Kumar aka The Accountant look4abhay@gmail.com :While some

may call him a muggu for being DR1 or an ishtudd for getting into ITC, we personally

know him as The Butt (of all our jokes). A hopeless romantic, as is evident from his

wistful blogs, he is the ultimate 'friend' for all committed girls. Takes everything

seriously, be it his academics, internships or handling lights in dramatics and comes out

with flying colours… in everything. Wish we could say this guy is going to go places,

but like all his internships he is going to end up and grow old in Kolkata (poor guy). No

one knows how he manages it but his accounts always show that we end up owing him

money… every single time.

Famous quote: “bahut hi ghatiya aur tharki kisam ka insaan hai… “

Pranav Sharma aka Por9wa pranavfbd@gmail.com :From being the beacon of hope

for Azad to retiring and enjoying his pension in his 5th yr, this guy looks all around the

hall and says/spits: 'Bheen dher, dhun dhat'. Lit Secy, Gsec SocCult, Socult Adviser, Best

fresher, Spirit of Azad…name it he has always been 'The Man for The Hall'. This guy

has rarely been to his dept. in his stay at kgp and while he is not bunking classes or

cracking jokes at Abhay, he can be found bodybuilding away to glory, though we are yet

to see any results. A friend indeed, especially when he is not in need (he walks into open

doors…need we say any more?) Other hobbies include arbit trips for arbit bandis,

combing his hair for half an hour and helping intoxicated wingies to… well… ahem…

let's leave it at that.

Sushil Tiwari aka Tiwari: sushil.iitkgp@gmail.com :

The alpha-male of CFE, Tiwari is synonymous with poltu everywhere, right from his

first yr when he scraped through the gymkhana secy elections owing to a pact with

senior halls. The rest they say is history. This guy is known to preach about refraining

from 'Maas, Madira and Mahila' – we all know how that went down with him and the

rest of the wing. Extremely well known throughout the institute for his exploits all over

Europe, he came back re-energized and as our honourable HP, led Azad to a level which

was not seen for the past few years – then immediately retired to a whole semester of

'peace maarna' and intoxication which involved bashing up juniors from the opposite

hall if he felt like doing it. Surprisingly, even shockingly, it looks as if this guy is finally

settling down. Ab to naukri bhi hai aur chhokri bhi, with only one panga… dono ke

beech 1500 km ka fark – lekin Tiwari hai, yeh bhi sahi kar hi dega.

Vikas aka Vikas aka Vikas vikas.iitkgp@gmail.com:

his is one guy, no wait, the only guy in the history of kgp without a proper nickname

because nothing ever stuck to him. He knows everything about everything, the topic

doesn't matter; the time doesn't matter; and he is freakingly right all the time. A stud in

the true sense, well, a stud who is slightly balding , has a paunch and has hair sticking

out of his ears, but hell, who cares, these are signs of prosperity, signs of a Harvard

intern, signs of a guy who has been happily committed for some time now. Is well known

by juniors and professors alike for scolding them into submission and is a big fan of all

those sick late 80's hindi songs which are played by rickshawallahs and panwallahs.

Warning: Do not, repeat, do not get him intoxicated… if you do, flee for your life!

Kaustubh Gururaj aka Mamaji, KayJee, Guru

Amit Suthar aka Suthar

kaustubhg87@gmail.com :

The rich and the famous, the busiest, the sleepiest and the most respected elder of the hall.

This guy has never looked back ever since he started off in Kgp. With a multi cultural,

multi linguistic and multi talented profile, he has been a dream package for any dramatics

team (yes, even bong drams) ever since his first year. Seniors awarded him Best Fresher of

Azad at first sight. This guy is a storehouse of cali and tempo and a factory of successful

productions….illu, hardware modeling, drams, robotix and most recently western and

eastern group events (he was unaware of this one himself :P). Recently awarded “The most

frequent visitor cum customer of the season” by CCD. Officially The Most Committed

member of Robotix team for five successive years. His tempo surpasses the delusional

boundaries of hall and he featured as a star member of patel hall's tempo group in some of

their illu photos. We hope this farzi mechanchi and asli trader makes loads of money for us

real soon (KayJee @ JayPee)

“Chal Guru ho ja shuru”

the.aks.amit@gmail.com :The grand old daddy of dramatics in kgp, there is only one word to describe what he doeson stage – godly. Be it an HTDS production or a hall dramatics production, his creativity,his ideas and his acting are the stuff of legend- and he had stage fright in his 1st yr (whowould believe that). His boiling point is just above his freezing point which leads to arbitmood swings in the midst of practices. Known for getting high frequently after a set ofcold drinks, this guy can really blow your mind away with his one liners. Tried his best tostay away from his dept as far as possible but in the end it got back to him and spent hislast one month practically inside his dept. Was even caught drinking by profs and sincethen is among the notorious 'darue' of the institute. Famous quote: ' Judges please note theempty stage' ;)

himanshu1858@gmail.com Dhiman is a direct descendant of the“Teja” clan of “Andaz Apna Apna” fame. His ultimate goal in life is to own a bread -bakery and poultry farm, so that he can start his own chain of bread-omelets. Seriouslythis is the guy you would want to invite to all treats! He brings his own boiled eggs totreats and eats only bread-omelet; dal-roti at max. Dude had an aspiration to be the next“Commander” of Azad but could barely reach there. However he did manage to ruin theentire wing by spreading the gym virus. Made half the wing so health conscious thatpeople started distributing their ice creams n chocolates on specials.

: Super-Burp, Can get high without drinking.: Ate 53 ice creams on final year treat 2008 [before the “Commander”

syndrome hit him]. Posed for 24672 pictures during his KGP career! Never bought agreeting card from Tech market - always made his own cards for his girl. Has a daughterin Gangtok. Knows the story of all the TV series and can talk about it for hours althoughhe hasn't seen a single one.Everybody knows the rest of Dhiman....Choreo captain, TDSgovernor, G. sec Library, extreme sento for his MTP.

"Kyun bahar khaana hai?!", "dada 2 bread omelets.", "Main daarunahin piunga par high ho jaunga."

They made sure that no treats could be planned without ahundred problems. Considering his academic commitments, involvements with M.Techand PhDs, late night lab work and commitment towards his bandi - he would have donebetter at Gokhale Hall :P. However he does have an extramarital affair at KGP ;) nudgenudge wink wink :):)

: Time management: He can do hugga while studying, also, can study whiledoing hugga. He can walk, eat, sleep! ride, hug (hugga) while on phone.

From petty shoplifts in US to having chats as girls with wingies hehas done all sort of Villainy. He is a sadist who enjoys every bit of his devilry. As far asmess is concerned he is the total Anti-Gulati. He hated mess as much as Gulati loved it.Despite being the mess secretary, stole double and triple snacks from mess.

He is a complete foodie, and loves to travel (went tothe extent of applying at Argentina to travel). All the best for his plans to open a casino.

praveenyadav09@gmail.com Popularly known as Pirvin Bhai. The guyhas the most charming and disarming smile in KGP. Behind that sweet smile lie ahundred secrets. Where is he when he isn't in his room - with his Research scholar,Nehru? or Cal? What happens behind those locked doors? After years of knocking, heopens door like an angry kumbhkaran, almost always with sleepy eyes. He got PPO fromreliance twice. The first was fake and so well done that he started doubting when he gotthe real offer. Very few people have seen him drunk, and those who have say that it's themost entertaining stuff. He is an ardent fan of RR. Singing is his secret talent. Sadly theEnt. Team couldn't recognize it [Shame on you Gulati, Imli, Jimi] {Sob}

"Do boond chawal dena.", "Do boond khisak ja", "do boond baatkarne de."

rahsut.italug@gmail.com :Gulati urf Gullu urf Rahsut Italug. Iska namakto hum sabhi ne khaya hai. He has achieved a lot in Kgp. 150kg ke hippo se 60kg keBandar tak ka safar isne 2 mahino mein khatam kiya, Azad ki mess sudhaar di, 80 lakhka patent nikaal diya. A music god, Ghaasi God, 5 interhall events ka captain. He is a realstudd. And iski success ka raaz hai huhaa discipline. Subah 6 baje uthna; 6:05 pe hugna;6:11 pe do apple, ek kela, aadha papeeta, orange ke chilko ka ras aur 11 angoor ke daane;followed by 54 minutes of exercises.Din bhar ki daud dhoop ke baad 10 baje so jaana. Agar 10:00 ka 10:01 bhi ho jaaye toGullu ka System Faliure ho jaata hai aur usse shut down karke uske room mein rakhkeaana padta hai. Mess ka sachha premi. Iska sabse kareebi rishtdaar, iske dukh sukh kasaathi iska guide hai. Although CFM mein aane ke baad humne iske sudhaar ke liyekhoob fight maari hai. Ab ye 11 baje tak jaagne laga hai, Treats pe jaane laga hai, aur toaur 2 baar TPark, 1 baar Flavours, 1 baar supdup bhi jaa chuka hai... Yo CFM. Ek impbaat, Gulati ki chamchamaati hui surat ka raaz hai uska "Everyouth Facepack" jo woweekly apni komal skin ko aur komal banane ke liya lagata hai.

Managed to spend 4 years of KGP life without going to Carlos, SupDup,Cheddis, TPark, Shere Punjab even once.

"Abe bahut neend aa rahi hai yaar, bahut thak gaya hun yaar!", "Yaartumlog kaise jaanwaron ki tarah rehte ho!" , “Abe hamare Punjab mein aise hi naam hotehain: Happy, Lucky, Chintoo, Bitoo, Rotu”

:The GOD guitarist, who has venturedinto playing the keyboard, and singing as well. Watching him sway like a buoy on thesea, while singing on stage shows how deep he feels his passion for music. In fact, it's areal visual treat to watch him sway, and worth every penny of your KGP fees. A verykind chap by heart, a good friend, and with an exceptionally high Emotional Quotient,he's peace loving and yeah, a very big fan of his own singing. After every performance,you can find him locked up in his room, watching the recording over and over again.Probably the only guy to volunteer to lease out his room for the 'undi-exchange karo'game during OP. Takes an incredibly lot of time to open the door. Only Sasha GreyShould know why :P. Over the years, he's come to realise his orientation, and has sincenot stopped showering love on all his wingies. (pun intended).

(to 2nd yrs) “Abey.. utaar do..!!”, (when frusst) “main ab guitar kabhinahi chune waala!”

Jimi Adhikari :

nagendra.iitkgp@gmail.com:At first look, this guy comes off assilent, calm and introvertish. But, beneath this clamor, we find an entirely differentperson, creative, passionate and charming. Rangoli King, the Pope of Sketching, Yoda ofArts and Crafts - basically Farts GOD hai yaar... He's always creating something,changing his room's appearance every now and then with walls paintings, self-madedecorations and what not. Wish him all the best for his career in arts (waise SAIL kisarkari naukri hai hi.. )

smilingtheja@gmail.com:Ravi theja is the most lively being in the hall.Whether it be a bhaat session or illu funda session or Google reader. He would never sayNO for anything. Very adorable senior. Extremely courteous and polite. Never gives u a

. His tempo is like sinusoidal wave plotted against feasibility. It increases as the workgoes on n decreases if gets difficult :P. He has high estrogen levels in his body which isevident from sudden mood swings (only other explanation is 5yr long pregnancy :P)Never seen anyone struggle so much with Hindi. He experts on any topic of discussionand is popularly known as 'Smiling Theja' among SNites. Go Theja ;)

If he sees a dream, he would wake up even if it's dead in the night and write apoetry about it!

got high with G in 2nd yr and "drowned" under the bed :P"Love is like an egg!", "Come on..doood!", "Abe....paise nahi hai

If he's not in his room, he's either on thephone, or in the bathroom with the phone, or on the way to bhaski with the phone.Honored Fellow of the 'Weekend hai toh Cal hai' Club, but unfortunately not a member of'Ghar se khana laya hoon' Society. Pretty much proactive, and loves to get into debates,esp. with Theja. Plays the Bass Guitar and was BTDS governor. Special mention fromImli da: "Love youuuuu, Jimi."

Abhinav-aka baccha

Aimen- aka “abe bhosadi ke

: 3 saal se wing ek

kone se morcha sambhale hue hai. “Selfishness is a virtue “ inki philosophy kafi dino

tak rahi-“Rs 5 printout & Rs 10 scan”. 4 year have seen his transformation from

antisocial to asocial to slightly social. Boston legal dekh ke inhe yeh ehsas hua ki India

main galti se paida ho gaye. Saubhagyawash inka America ka ticket kat chukka hai aur

abhi se firangi bandi aur green card inka goal hai. Life inke liye ek race hai – har cheezz

main competition. Aaj Kal Phd ladkiyo ko der raat library main padhane jate hai. Chalta

firta p@ndy database- can answer any SQL query based on p@$nstars, rating,

production houses.Finally a very sincere and hardworking guy who for sure is going to

make it to the top.

. : Apna room sirf soone or hi!@ne keliye use karta hai, baki time kisi aur ke room pe hi beettata hai. Duniya ki moh maya separe hai. Pinnacle of peace- ab to profs bhi warning dena chor chuke hai. Sex ke timewoman on top hi prefer karega since it involves least activity from his side. Has only abed in his room. A very loose aggressive poker player! Chalta firta Wikipedia hai-duniya ki sabhi chizzo ka funda hai except biotechnology. Tubelight ka dushman- najane wing cricket main kitte tubelight phode hai. And has finally found love defying allexpectations!

A beautiful mind! Has got innocent looks and even more innocent heart. A true friend

and superb guy to hangout with.

Exaggerated hand movements while talking- specially naak, mooh ko apni gaandki tarah pochna. “abe Main jo keh raha..dhyaan se sun”!! Logo ko jabardasti pakad kefunda deta hai. The only guy jo DAU ko bhi funda deke chup kara sakta hai!! Ishq,muhabbat aur ladkiyo ka bahut gyan hai but fir bhi “Pehle Pyaar main l@ude lag gaye”.Ab sidhe mummy ki batayi ladki se nikaah karna hai. Very fond of food...wing ko localtrain se sher-e-punjab le gaya tha! Double room main “jo khaya wahin failaya” but salaapne single room main “slippers bhi bahar utarwaya”! Very emotional and passionateguy. Always there to help u in times of need. Bas funda bahut pelta hai!

Sameer Sourabh (a.k.a. Juicy Sam)

Brazil se lekar

Bundelkhand tak bandiya iski shikar ho chuki hai. Itna love kiya hai ki heart main

problem ka doubt hone laga tha. Failed guitarist and failed soccer player. Kgp-Kolkata

train timetable inhi ke hisaab se banaya gaya hai. Illuminati banne chale the par agle saal

se hi illu band ho gaya. Ladkiyan inhe stalk karte hue kgp tak chali aati hai. Bina ladki ka

naam jaane 6 mahine tak affair chala lete hai. Believes in “4 P's” philosophy: Pool,

Poker, Pu$$y and Peace. During exams, his room has more guys studying than central

library. Would be a very dedicated, gharelu and loyal husband. Not to mention DR 1-so

padai toh karta hi hai, along with lots of other things.A wonderful human being, a guy

with a golden heart and fun to hangout with!

shubham2711@gmail.com: best bakchod KGP will ever produce. Famous in insti as

bhaiya ever among SN girls thats y he failed to have a girlfriend in four years in KGP (

nahin to behenchod kehelata :P). one of his bakchodi incidents that very few are aware

of: during his 1st year stay in MMM, andha hone ka vrat rakha tha and ho ho kar top

floor se mess tak chala gaya; is andhepan k chakkar me logon ko bahut pareshani uthani

padi “bakchodi at its peak”. Yeh janab bus juice bandon k saath group me nahana pasand

karte hai. Yeh banda kahin bhi, kaise bhi so sakta hai, saala kumbhkaran bhi fail kar

jaye.launda photo khichate tym jajbaati ho jata hai. Sangeet k shaukeen hai, bahut

pareshan kiya hai logon ko gaaane ga ga kar; die hard fan of kumar sanu. PPO in

reliance. “ he is great”-ashish said so and all agree.

Probably the

smartest and juiciest guy in the wing. Loves not to bath alone (:P) and every time he

comes out bathed and shaved, guys get ready to put their heart out for him (in particular

Subodh). Has a habit of glancing at his own pic for hours, used to put up his own pic as

wallpaper in third year and display to all the wingmates. But jokes apart, he is stud in

literal sense, the guy with the largest alumni contacts, the guy with a bandi (probably the

largest promoter of RIM) not to mention how much the mess workers love him, he

recently received Chakhna Award as well. Deep inside the heart, he is very caring and

emotional, be it for his friends or for his family. We just wonder what would happen to

his looks in Coal India butthere is no doubt that this super 30 stud would attain heights of

success.

:Hamare batch kakholu, UPSEAT ka topper n many more.

Profile se to ekdum sincere aur maggu lagta hoga, hai bilkul opposite. Ye saare exams

bhi shayad bas is he exam ke raat hi padhkar diye honge. Bakar karne mein awwal,

topped DC bhakchodi list once. Iski gilahriatic (:P) smile ke seniors bi kaayal hain.

Second year mein na jaane kitne profiles hack kar ke rakha hua tha. OP ke time sabse

saaf underwear (LOL), pehnne ke liye popular tha (got the Mutheri Cup as well :P).

Haldiram aur Sarvesh ka bahut bada fan hai.Jabse bandi mili hai, 24 hours phone pe hi

rahta hai aur half a semester Pune mein. Drinks mein sirf black coloured hi peeta hai

(Coke, Pepsi, Thumps Up :P). Char saal se fight maarte rah gaya kiise daaru pilayege but

iske self-control ki daad deni hogi. Tudu ke saath sona bahut pasand hai ise. Oracle mein

bhi ye launda machayega hi, isme koi doubt nahi hai.

: He is an IITian by his look

and attitude. Although caught in a wrong department but, this guy is a god when it

comes to computers. I have seen many comp. science guys coming to him with their

laptops in their hands. A great fan of Linux, he can fix almost anything in a computer,

and if he fails then there is no solution without replacing some parts. He is a reserved

kind of a guy but once he becomes a friend, he is real fun. Once he sent a love letter to a

girl, whom his friend used to like, with his friend's name and it worked. He loves

adventurous sports although not apparent by his looks. He is very innovative and has

participated in almost all the tech. cup events. His only problem is that he is very

emotional and a bit short tempered, but he is really a gem of a person. ADI ROCKSS!!!

:He is a man with millions of stories, iske story telling cali

ke sab fan hain. Iski baate sunne Nehru, RP aur Lallu se bhi ladke room pea ate hain.

Kisi ki bhi gXXXd maarni ho call him. Sutta peene aur apna haath jagannath marne ka

bahut shoukin hai. Responsible for the dirtiest room of Kgp in his second year. Loves not

to bath for months.Has developed a great vocabulary in just an year.LAN ke shayad

saare TV serials dekh liya hoga. Drinks mein bhi beer pasand hai, aur agar daru pi liya to

godly fundae deta hai. Recently ye daru peeke, gurgaon ko surgeon, kaustubh ko

kashwini aur Mohit ko Sohit bolne laga. Bas ab ye sure hai ki agar ab koi bhi

Delhi,Gurgaon jaaye, thikana iska room hi hone wala hai.

Keshav Modi

Rahul Saxena (“Sexy”)

devendragupta001@gmail.com:

rahul1iitkgp@gmail.com:

.

If there is a startup in kgp ,

then Deven has something to do with it . Co-founder of the hottest venture in Kharagpurat present, he is The manager , The entrepreneur and The funda-man - in short he is a true"Gupta" . Often seen shouting others down in debates, this champion badminton playeroversaw the revival of badminton in Azad . Ace Product Design-er and Case Study-er ,his list of achievements is really long ( more than making up for some of his shorterthings ).

keshav.512@gmail.com The robot , the entertainer , the what-you-see-is-

what-you-get person . Brilliant at acads, brilliant at PJs, this Maths Olympiad and Open Soft

captain is ever-ready to grab a snack . One would have to be very fortunate to find him in kgp

though, as he prefers to spend most of his time at home in Kolkata . Remember the good old

sound of a 1960 fiat trying to start ?? Hmm, you dont . To refresh your memory , just listen to

Modi laugh :P . Unfortunately, a boy of his stature has not yet found a dream girl, but there

are rumours that he has recently found his dream boy :P:P

List of essential things for a CS guy in

Azad : Rahul Saxena , water and food - in that order. All the CS "studs" in Azad owe their

BTech degrees to this person . The most methodical , regular , helpful , modest and soft

spoken person one can come across - in short , the ideal student our parents wanted us to be !!

Among other achievements - led the hall to their first podium finish ( Silver ) in OpenSoft in

4 years , was the Hall Farts Secy , and one of the few to bag a day 1 job at Nomura

Arka Aloke Bhattacharya (a.k.a. Whoreko a.k.a. G2 – Gentle Giant/Gaandu Gaindaa.k.a Orca a.k.a. King Bong a.k.a. Chhipkali ke Sasur) :

ravi1650@gmail.com :Ex KTJ design team head , huha ad

designer , chemical dep topper , etc , etc , etc . Interestingly, this obnoxiously long CV did not

scare off his female mate for a looong time . His cute smile supremely makes up for whatever

devilish intentions he might be having . Kappu often has bouts of gym-going mania , and has

recently become a poker addict . When he is not applying make-up or trying to spruce up his

figure, one can find him mugging his heart out - his double digit SGPAs a testimonial to that .

ADVISORY : He would not be the most harmless person around, if you are a boy and are

skimpily clad - but then every stud has his weaknesses.

pareshprakash@gmail.com: Paresh spends half of his day

thinking about girls , and the other half trying to think how he will run away when a girl

speaks to him . Perhaps the most "normal" person in his wing, this Lights Captain of Azad

Hall has seen many successes in his Drams Career , but few in his flirting one . He has

mastered that art of dexterously using his innocence and charm to get out of all his bungling

mistakes. It has been observed that a few molecules of alcohol wafting through the air is

enough to get him high - so people often keep the good stuff out of his reach during treats,

much to his annoyance!!

arkaaloke@gmail.comIf there's any cheat code to life, he has it. Be it his Godlike talent in drams, or his

mesmerizing performances in elocution (Bong and English), his sublime debates, his mind-blowing performances in Drams, Choreo, Quizzes, WTGW, OpenSoft or Maths Olympiad,or his Choreo he's done it all, he's won them all. All that, mated to a mammoth 9.9 CG (CSDR1) : Arka is a powerhouse of talent and brilliance. Penetrating in his insights,Holmesesque with his strategies, soul stirring in his speeches, he taught people to believe inthemselves, he gave them tempo, orchestrated lots of Gold winning performances thathardly anyone could have done. He madeAzad…more.What still sets him apart is his great humility despite his superhuman gifts. He is the personanyone in the hall would go to for help, counselling or even bhaating (and a few formemorable sleepovers). His love for getting into debates and talking aplomb about any topicunder the Sun, coupled with his endearing maroability adds to his charm.Equally characteristic of him were times of paranoid psychosis during exams, when he wasconvinced that he'd get a fakka, since his preparation had been by far the worst ever, butinched past to get an Ex (in every subject). His love for Internet Explorer, Bengal andGanguly is food for great romantic literature (and mockery). It is believed that every timeGanguly hit a six, he used to have an orgasm, and when Ganguly had to retire, he wentthrought a six month long 'Manopausal' limbo. This is what purportedly engendered hismuch publicized aversion to girls.This sapient manager, visionary leader, great friend and celestial body, is going to UCBerkeley for a PhD.Azad will miss this one man GC tilting machine.PS:Nuggets of knowledge: The abovementioned mutant was a recipient of The Eureka Cup,Gautam De Cup and Shanti Gupta Cup. It was also the captain of (a freaking) six events(holy shit) in its fourth year. It was also the sponsor of lots of hall events, and often the titlesponsor of many hall treats. Its love for any and all mishti and ball dropping ability to ingesttruckfulls of Shawndeysh is also worth mentioning. It loves someone on the campus. It is notgay.

pranavmathur89@gmail.com:Was

known as Uncle Chicks in school due to his trademark Uncle moustache. Four years

down the line, he's lost the moustache, and is now a contender for the juice of the wing.

DC (DepC) at the end of 1st year, PC (the diva) in third year, but DC++ has eluded him

till date (Friends ke episodes bhi maang maang kar dekhta tha). The only guy in the wing

with a GF, BF (NN – his pinkie flamingo) and SF (ka GOD). Discovered the secrets of

his body and pleasures of life in his second year. Final year mein uska kankaal 20

pushups maar leta tha. Abhi ITC jakar Azad ko unending sutta supply karega. Yeh praani

ch.rajasimha@gmail.com:Reached widespread polularity in the world of hedonists due to

his xxx DC content by the nick Despo_Boy. (Despo_Boy hai jahan, supersafedi hai

Godlike, honed in his daily nightouts spent playing AOE. SCR (sutta consumption rate) 3

per day (packets)… GCR (G consumption rate tending to

“The Deported Soul ” – Lost his passport inAmsterdhaam and deported to homeland in ship.:D. Chinta will name his boy Sutta and his daughter Meri Jane).

:Our dear rodent incarnate has an alcohol capacity of

3.5ml, yet he gulps madira till he can swim in it (“The unforgettable Bhangover”). Has

always wished that he was a foot taller…. Ab khwaab to bahut dekhta hi, par laundiyon

se door bhagta hai. The most agile volley ball player, with maximum degrees of freedom.

Relishes calling anyone even a micron shorter than him 'Chhotu'. Hidden talents:

romantic poetry and sketching that he puts on full display when he's emotional. His mood

swings appear to follow a menstrual (monthly) cycle with super high amplitude.. thus the

name frusst moosa. Photogenic teeth… which he tries to flaunt in every photo (which

Inspired by Kareena Kapoor, he embarked on project Size Zerowhich involved relocating to the gym for a year, pecking one roti, once a week and endlesslystanding in front of the mirror, without, however compromising on his insatiable thirst forAntiquity Blue and Blender's Pride. First year se stud hai, baddy ka Federer, pichhle saal sevolley mein bhi apne jalwa (supersonic one hand smash, coupled with a 200Decibel 'ChhodDe') dikha raha hai. Dikhta sidha hai but bahut bada bakchod hai, orkut pe arbit bandiyoon kemazay leta hai, develops a crush on every other girl passing by.has had over 5000 crushes tillnow (*pallavi*).Kisi bhi company ke funde chaiye ya laundi,launde ka character,CG etcBansi has up to date info. Knows his priorities well and has potential to make it really big 1day. Bansi's the patrol officer of the wing. Kahin bhi gathering hui to pahunch jata hai. Pointto note: he self-tutored himself through JEE.

arpit87@gmail.com:The strongest contender for the juice of the

wing, Misri spends most of his time on skype, that is when he does not have his

cellphone installed on his ear. He appears to share a 'divya' relation with his telephone

contact, as he transmits all info by just miming into the mouthpiece. His conversations on

the net are not half as discreet, as the insanely large fontsize can be read from BTop as

well. Par is seedhe saadhe dikhne walay manlady ke bahut abnormal shauk bhi hain:-Logon ko apne private moments mein disturb karke chilla chilla kar hasnaNahate huay logon par sting operation karna (INSTI mein BLUE film banana pasand hai)Corridor mein ardha-nagna awastha mein skipping karnaPar kuchh bhi kaho, launda bahut sweet hai, poora boyfrnd material hai, dance kaisa bhikaray, karta zaroor hai.

hai. Perfect Husband Material: hall ke kai log fight maar chukay hain, par iska dil kisi aur

person who once submitted his endsem paper half an hr before time to catch a train.

Otherwise apna Pawwa is a perfect bookworm, who comes out of his room only for food

Shaurya Verma (aka London, Angrejzz ka *****)

Vikram Bhambhu

- shaurya@gmail.com: Thin slim

body wid toned abs which would turn on any member of the fairer sex (at times his

wingies as well :P). Caught sleeping and bathing wid guys and busted 'White handed'

many times. The creative genius , the literary GOD , the most popular person in the hall (

and even the insti ) by a distance , and the one who truly captured the spirit of Azad Hall

. Be it Ad Design , Elocution , Debate , Drams , Choreo , WTGW , Illu , Gardening - he

was the star performer of every event. : Conjuring up crowds better than any G.Sec

could , mesmerizing them with his magnetic personality , and bedazzling them with his

oratory skills - his contribution to Azad is immeasurable. Possesses bizzare skill to

tolerate Bizzare people like payarda and dauu. Gaypanti ka shikkaar. Has faced sexual

assaults from his friends when drunk. Verma He could put any Englishman and

Frenchman to shame with his sublime mastery and fluency of both the languages( He

scored more than 1500 in GRE with absolutely no preparation ) .Clicks strange objects

from awkward angles and believes himself to be a good photographer.Ardent fan of F1

in general and Kimi in particular.Brand ambassador of OPERA and popular for his feud

wid arka over OPERA Vs IE. Humble enough to return on final day of illu after

remaining in exile in MS for the whole ILLU season 2007-08.But next 2 years saw him

rendering immense service to Hall. He was intrumental in the Azad's pole position in the

Soc-Cult GC 2008-09. Captain of 5 events. The padma Rani of AZAD hall. Drams-

WTGW-elocution God. . Always the one to listen to his heart's call - he decided to

pursue an MS in Aerospace Engineering in the US. Often spotted with girls he had no

intention of being spotted with Treats his wingies with KFC Delicacies. Would like to

see him sporting babes (and dudes :P) in Florida and promoting metro sexualism on his

return to India.

:Aka Bambooo. DOTA

godfather! (really? Lost the final 1-3); game freak, people says if you bring him enough

food to survive, he will not even bother to get up from his comp, launde ne LAN main

jitni high config wali game hain khel dale(leaving his gaming legacy to chota bamboo

/Kamble ).Hai to Haryana ka JAT par lagta nahi kise angle se.Biggest customer of

Aseem and SAMD(mess ke maa ka!!!!) . One of the most SEEDHA guy you will ever

come across. Money bank in crisis for most of the wing. Launda ab sarkari scientist ban

gaya hai, Missile banane ja raha hai in GULTISTAN .All the best for all his future

Ashutosh Satapathy

Anuj Kr Singh

: adiveol@gmail.com

: vicky4724@gmail.com:

Publicly known as Sikka or Adiveol, he gainedhis college life experience in pre-college days (except bandibaazi, which is still an areaof struggle for him). He is the guy with a big heart and an even bigger wallet :P (all-time-money). From being a FIFA God to a DOTA dork, his phodu gaming skills is what keepshim busy these days. Sikka's highly talented, with an area of expertise including almosteverything :) (Mast Dancing, Table-Tennis, Cricket, Poker, Carrom et al), and is alwaysgame for anything new/crazy :). This fellow has brains, and though he's lost the tempo touse it for academic purposes, his high ambitions coupled with a persistent fighting spirit(still hopes for a one-time 10 pointer), is bound to go places. Responsibilities full effortsse puuri karta hai, even after saying numerous times, 'yaar main fruusst ho raha hoon'.Choreo mein khoob fight maara, makhaya and logon ne maari, fir bhi load nai liya.Though structurally he's in the lesser half of the population (reason being, yeh "khaatekhaate thak jaata hai" :P), yet he loves to pick up fights (mostly with the other half), andthe result is 'almost' unpredictable :P. He always speaks his mind, and with a simple,really helpful and an easy-going persona, he has all the ingredients to make a perfectfriend :)

Also known as Sattu, Ashu, orSatapathy, he's a simple, life-loving, carefree, easy-going person, and loves to experimentwith anything, yep anything (Once Ashu went to the barber-shop, to get his hair curled,but turns out he returned with no hair at all :P). He's got a whacky sense of humor andwith a good sense of sarcasm, ise logon ki maarne mein bada mazza aata hai (kuchh logkabhi kabhi iski bhi maar lete hai). A man of principles and ideals (sounds nice :P, and hereally does stick to his words), he is witty, talented and highly committed (pun intended)to all of his pursuits. Windows games would have gone into oblivion, if it were not forhim (he might be the best minesweeper, hearts and solitaire player in the world :P).Expanding his gaming horizon, he's achieving new levels in Farmville and Mafia Wars(Facebook) as well :P. He has a good niche in predicting people, and always speaks outhis mind (galtiyan batata hai, fir uspe maarta hai and finally solution deta hai) (Truthmight sometimes be bitter :P). Everything said, Ashu is helpful, 24x7 (to the best of hisabilities), and a great friend (hamesha peeche peeche rehta hai :P), after all a friend inneed is a friend indeed :)

“Abe Arko dekh lega,Rahul saxena dekh

lega.darwaza bandh kar le” guess for what he came to my room everyday! Sutta in 2ndyear! Now he is the one of the foremost suttabaaz in the hall. 'Chota goldflake' ka biggestfan! One of the greatest paltu. I strongly recommended to him to consider a career inpolitics instead of going to eat Chinese sea food, which eventually he can't even stand!!Rumor was that he was one of those heavy Maggus during 1st year, He establishes thisfact just before exams every sem! By the way Bahut rota hain!! Once an aspirantweightlifter! Hockey player! Now a Gambler!Shared a common interest in literature,specially classics yo ”the picture of Dorian Gray “. About his achievements what to say!Gonna be a big man someday for sure! As a friend kya kehna, it seems he will stick byeven if you are wrong, and not afraid to get into some hustle and bustle for that, DVD nSugam will verify that. All in all it's been a very good 3 years with you,considering allyour pros and cons, hope the friendship continues in the afterlife too (I mean beyond theIIT days! )May the 'chota goldflake” be exported to Singapore too!!!

frustrated at something, hamesha yaad rahega :D, if u haven't seen it, u've seen nothing...

haal mein bhaisaahab ko body building ka chaska chadha hai, aur har roz apne so called

Jaat (KOK). Subah Subah uski aawaz Alarm se bhi jyada napasand ki jati ha….even his

whisper can wake you up. He can be recognized from miles away by the very unique and

the most annoying voice. Even after having this much melodious voice, we wonder how

does he manage to have so many girls…though he is getting settled now with…….. (sry

m not allowed to disclose the name). He has made records in Intra-hall cricket….he

made almost every wing to play cricket….He is the best player and the biggest cheater in

the cricket history of our wing and probably in the hall as well… ;)…and that's what

make us win APL (AZAD Premier League). The only probable millionaire among all of

The second most invisible person of our

wing…that's why it's hard to write about him but still let's give it a shot. You'll find his

room locked even when he is out to pee. He is known for his studies, pondies and his

interest in OP. Only one from wing, who manage to crack the CAT, very hardworking

fellow. Opener in the mess….he has taken back every penny he paid for the mess food.

All the best for all his future endeavors….!!

:Times of India of DGW….Great fan of

Shashi Tharoor, Facebook and Twitter. According to him, either you are twitting or you

are “GANWAAR”. The person with the most arbitrary viewpoint in any discussion. A

great admirer of beauty may be b'coz he never got a chance to do anything beyond

admiration. Dedicated towards acads.

Rest is mystery…..!!

All the best.

GULTRAJ Sandeep Bhushan (The

Typical Bihari)…..”Mr. India (rarely seen)” of the wing, Hall as well as in insti. Man with

the passion to watch every language's movie on DC…without subtitle. Never ever argue

with him….b'coz either u'll end up losing the argument or beaten up. Best Alumani of

Sanik school Netraheart, Bihar for all his tales about the school and the promotion of the

school outside Bihar. He has enormous interest in any scam related activity which could

possibly earn some popularity to him. Well that's it….we are not allowed to write

anything else…we are still scared of him…!!

Jai Bihar..!!

:First thing to notice about him is “size

of his G**ND”. Even girl with the biggest butt in kgp envy him for that. If you are

feeling hungry, come to his room, you'll find something 24x365. He has his weirdest

collection of songs which will keep irritating you from early in the morning to late in the

night. FUNDA GOD…don't knw for what…but to his bandi only… ;). Compu specialist

of the wing. A very helpful person but only for the compu help..:D.

Good Luck INFOSYSian!!

hai….Most diplomatic, Manipulative, un-trusted and complex person in wing…and above

that a few persons in hall know that. Beer sunte hi inke kaan khade ho jate hai aur

dhakkan khulte hi inhe chaddh jati hai….And all the Hall residents are cordially invited to

his FIRST marriage ceremony sometime in this summers. Everything including Bride,

Date and Venue is fixed but Groom….(wt to say now..:D)

The IIPM specialist…contacts him directly to know why he is being called this.

Hope you get married soon!!...Don't forget us to invite cause we'll anyways be there

:Vikram or Apahij as he is more

popularly known is the tempo man of the group. Was crowned as the undisputed PJ king

for his vast reservoir of awesome pjs some of which are still being analysed to this day.

Has suffered from diseases whose names do not even appear in large renowned medical

books. He is porbably the the only guy who would cancel a Gangtok or Ladakh trip just

because its too cold out there, (the cold makes his bones weak). Largest collection of

woollen clothing in kgp, including a dozen of mufflers. Infinite funda about all types of

medicines and cures. Has a passion for chatting up unknown chicks over the internet and

then just when things begin to get interesting, he drops them like a ton of hot bricks.

Instrumental in getting innocent people addicted to poker after getting addicted himself.

An honest, diligent worker and someone you can count on to stand by your side during

hard times. Will miss the time spent on the mess top with him. Hope to see him develop

the Bahurian school of thought in economics one day.

Dipa .. Deepa .. Dabba .. Drum ..Some

people eat to live he lives to eat.One of the most feared players in Poker After Dark. A

calm strong headed demenour who moves around 2.2 with two of his "bitches".Has great

interest in girls and after repeated failures finally * got his love of live( still not sure:P )

.His name creates suspucion in the mind of people when any body declares sharing a

room with "Dipa" :P.A hard worker and always in the middle of action .. Ktj, Hall poltu,

Gossip, Acads, soccer .. u name it except lately when he's become a bit more

'domesticated' that we would like <refer to * warning dont commit da same mistake :P)

!Many people will miss his company like Ravi da and Sam D (boosted their sales by 50

% single handedly ) and of course we friends.

Has god gifted brains solves DI in secs and when asked for explanation declares that he

sees the answer in flashes infront of his eyes( is dat possible :P) ! This is one ambitious

great ambitions , a true go getter and takes work close to his heart had the balls to reject

you dont use social media :P ).Hes a joker by choice and a prankster by birth ,there is not

a single person in kgp who he hasnt annoyed by his pranks.His favourite pass time is

"stealing" or doing side aerobics while walking and lives by poker earnings. A true ladies

man and has a huge female fan base. ('Allo Ladies). Is destined to make it big in life and

our only hope is that he does us a few favours when he reached the upper echleons of

society.Best of luck buddy

:The entertainment man will invariably make

you split your side with laughter, mostly unintentionally. Has more brothers than

duryodhana and between them ensure that the family name is present in every sphere of

human life. He is prone to letting of an unintelligible string of words from time to time

leaving everybody clutching their sides. His lack of general knowledge is legendary and

is probably the only soul in this institute who does not know the meaning of the word

"fart" or the full form of frusst (despite being told). Inspite of his shortcomings, the guy

has managed to start a company and im sure that he will be very successful in the years

to come. You can always count on him to be there for a friend and goes out of his way to

make them happy. Would love to see whether his atrocious english improves twenty

years down the line when he becomes a millionare.

:Ojit - No words can even begin to describe our

inhouse fundaman (though all of it is bullcrap). Loves making fun of everybody around

him but somehow lands up being the butt of all the jokes. The worst player ever (cricket,

football, aoe, poker, baski u name it... and dont even start on sprinting). Has less funda

about his dept (cs) than a dung beetle(courtesy wikipedia). Wears strategic low waist

jeans to display is volumnous assets. Has numerous boyfriends and the number of phone

calls he gets would put a blue eyed blonde to shame and to top it of has been caught

jerking off openly on numerous occassion by third party. A great fan of movie quotes and

has unsuccessfully tried to pass less renowned ones as his own from time to time.Thinks

he is a philosophical GOD - According to him, Saturday is white in color. Wish he sorts

out his PAD triangle. But inspite of all his countless flaws (bandi pataofying included) he

remains one of the most popular, funniest, friendliest guys you will come across. Wish u

all the best in your future endeavours, mr entrepreneur.

:"Smoker, Doper, Boozer, Rapist,Friend".

Apt words to describe Ankur Singhal or saand as he is more popularly known. Whether

he is smoking up or gulping down litres of vodka, the dood is passion personified. His

interests range from cradle of filth to believe it or not 'dance india dance' (seriously get a

life man). After being laughed at for his lack of interest in the fairer sex, he promptly

went and did ... (his version) or got done by ... (acc to us). Either way he is no longer a

cherry as he proudly declares to one and all. Only man i know who sleeps 14 hrs,

watches 10 movies, does his project work and eats 2 kfc buckets all in a day. Adventure

runs in his blood and be it skiing in manali, trekking in the alps or goin to orissa on his

khatara scooter all u get to hear at the end is "Dude it's f***in awesome man". Has the

memory of an amoeba and the attention span of a 2 yr old. If u ever here someone ask

"What is frusst in english yaar?, "Dude, wanna smoke up" or "The probability of xyz is

more than abc in poker bcoz ...." you can safely bet it's him doin the asking. Great guy,

fun to be wid, wishin mr.i-banker(quant fin stud) all the best in life. May u get the ferrari

Better known as Sai da, this GOD-level CS player

(and Q3 gamer) came out to be one of the best gamers KGP has ever seen. His passionfor music, esp. Guitar, displayed an entirely new perspective of this lazy bum. Lazy as hemay be, when it comes to these obsessions (music, gaming etc etc) meticulous research,impeccable insight, depth of knowledge and attention to small details define him. He'ssimply stunning. His juicy demeanor has won many hearts, esp. one from LLR. :PHis room is one hell of an artwork made by his creepy little eight legged pets, despitewhich his room is a common meeting room for all gults of KGP (True Story. Really). Hisdaily routine is: wake up, sutta, CS, eat, sutta, CS, have a stomach upset, play guitar,sutta, CS, sutta, CS, sutta, sleep. All in all, a good person at heart and always cracks usup even in the dullest of moments. Love u sai da. We WILL miss u.

Ask him any question he has got an answer -"lite

mama”, he only eats food just enough to keep him alive and provide him sufficientenergy to run his daily errands, which also explains his physique :P . He is an ulti coolguy and peacemaar candi...e kabhi load nahi leta bhai .. even in the shittiest of moments..Love u bhagi!

chanu,cheno the remo of bfw :P.Imagine how batman or superman would be feeling about themselves(Yes they are forreal :P)now double it .. That's how chanu feels about himself...The balayya of our wing!And always bears a colon D on his face ... There isn't a single sport that has not felt hispresence at kgp. I can't believe i almost forgot! His PJ's they are the deadliest ones outthere.. Be cautious for u can never recover if u are hit by one ;). His love for his work isremarkable. I will miss you chano :|.

kasak .. seldom do u come acrossan unique person like khasibhatla karthik.. it's hard to get to know him. Once he opensup to you he is a great person! he has his set of principles and he lives by his code. Mayu reach greater heights in life!

Pramit Mukherjee Well it has been quite some time, 4 yrs to be

precise he is an inhabitant of Azad Hall and B First West wing. He had quite some

interesting graffiti in his room. Firstly atop the door “Nvidia” was written which is

reminiscent of his room baaps place of profession. Also there is this day wise checklist of

a month and “9.03=10” inscribed on the fan! Possibly meant for his predecessor to limit

his ambitions and feel satisfied about being a Nehli!! He has discovered some gaming

partners, some philosopher, some whacko, some funduu and some plain bhaatbaaj. The

first time he realized what's going to happen now is when his seniors are leaving the

wing. The days were the same except there would be nobody to wake him up for a darn

7.30 am, or no one to share mid night snack/late mid night snack at 3 am from Cathleen

or someone to encourage and convince him not to study and game or bhaat the night

before end sems. Overall masto banda to hang out with

Nitin Tripathi alias Condy, style icon is the

most energetic, enthusiastic guy we have ever seen. And when it comes to gym, his enthu

crosses all limits. He has become an idol of body building for many guys. This guy is

unbeatable in any kind of debate or argument whatever field it might be even when he

doesn't know anything about the topic. Almost everyone gives up when they get into an

argument with him. Recently he has been very careful about his looks. Few days back, he

brought Garnier light face wash and multani mitti for himself. Its very difficult to judge his

mood, but you will get used to it after some time. He is afraid of darkness, ghosts (which he

wont admit), snakes but the most dreadful creatures for him are Cockroaches. He starts

running and screaming as soon as he spots one. He wonder how he would survive in a village

(placed in NTPC). In his good mood, PJs spontaneously come out of his mouth. The thing we

would miss the most about him is his expressions, so eccentrically funny. Above all, he is a

good hearted guy, ready to help others whenever its possible for him. We wish him a bright

future, wife brighter than him and the brightest children.

ullasagw@gmail.com Ullas Aggarwal also known as Milkman on DC++,

supplier of soft-core recreational stuff (you know what) has worked hard to make the “huha”

collection from Rapidshare which he is always ready to share. But don't get carried away, he

is also the DR-1 of Mechanical Engineering department. He was a hard core maggu before

he came to our wing (A top). And then he ventured into this field, earned this prestigious

name “Milkman”. His lappy gets hanged very often because of high amount of uploading of

softies. Great fan of SantaBanta.com, from where he collects PJs and sexy wallpapers. We

always eagerly wait to see his next erotic wallpaper while dreaming about the current one.

His style of abusing is the funniest, you cant stop laughing when he starts abusing. Apart

from this field, he is also a Cricket freak, IPL is like a festival for him. In spite of all these

things, the magguness inside him is always alive. He has a strong repulsion from the mess,

mess workers and the mess food. He is always ready to help others, give good pieces of

advice, a very practical guy, true at heart, also very systematic and punctual. We are sure that

he would succeed in his endeavors in his future life.

ANKUR SHUKLA

Nikhil Kobragade

Jayanta Phadikar

Umesh Paswan

iitkgp.ankur@gmail.com:: a fun loving guy, known as Janaab . First

thing you would notice about him is his smile he laughs a lot, we wonder, are we telling

him a joke!!. Whenever you see him, he is either going to library or coming from the

class. He has a moderate sense of humor :P. His weaknesses are girls and money (he falls

in love with any girl in merely 2-3 chats). 3-4 hours is his average chatting time per day

per bandi. Waise, he is very choosy about girls (i.e. face, shapes & curves) And most

importantly he is 'bhajan imdb' of IIT :P, all of us take his suggestions. He is very slow at

eating. Exams time lodu ho jata hai, doesn't talk much. He is very good at economics and

stocks as he is department topper. Still, department se badha frusst rehta hai. He is a great

guy to be friend with, very amiable, never takes load (to any degree of leg-pulling).

Wishing him great success in career and life

Nikhil.det@gmail.com: We call him 'KO-BRA, The snake'. Well

don't panic, name is a misnomer; in fact he is very slow in every activity(khoya khoya

rehta hai khayalo me). He is a laziest creature known in the human kind (no offence). He

has huge collection of towels(separate towels for each body part :P). He is very serious

about two things i:e his bandi and MTP. He is mad about his princess, talks to her all the

night(he's very romantic at heart). Afternoons he spent in his lab working for MTP. He

loves playing on his guitar. He is a gym freak as well, body-shody bahut bana li hai ladke

ne but he is still unsatisfied (aur chahiye). In 5 years of IIT, kabhi room ki light nahi

jalayi. He is a real cool dude and beloved friend. We all will cherish all the laughs we

spent with him. Wishing him a great future ahead…

The first thing that comes to mind when

you think JAYANTA is the word professor in a very positive sense . If you don't believe

me just quiz him on FEM, or Structures. He is the unofficial tutor of Aero deptt. during

exam time. Even when you are unprepared and have just one hour before a test he is your

man. A big lover of sweets, he has tremendous patience. And like a true kgpian he is a

complete night bird.

He is the man who understands the importance of time and completes his projects way

before deadlines. By the way he never bought bathroom slippers after his 1st year and yes

I am NOT joking!!!

umesh.ork.iitkgp@gmail.com: T A widely recognized

humorous and helpful individual, who you find as greatly cheerful most of the time.

Highly addicted to his cellphone, and likes to spend some quality time on weekends (with

his better half?), and thus you would find him shuttling between home & kgp pretty often.

He loves fruits so much and enjoys a healthy reputation amongst all fruit sellers in

TechM. He likes being health conscious, having a healthy diet, criticising the mess food,

and is an aspiring body builder. Resources in terms of social & political contacts or

materials, are no bound for him, and next time you need to make a travel reservation, you

know whose ass to kick. He is one of the rare people in Kgp who own a room heater, a

saucepan, an iron etc.

sudheer.in.iitkgp@gmail.com:

Just like his second name, his personality is

unknown to everyone and his thoughts remains closed, as his room door . A geek in early

years of KGP life, as expected became frusst later. A true user of youtube and other social

networking sites. The only thing that kept him ticking here was KGPLAN. The only road

that he knows in kgp is the one which leads to station and ultimately to jamshedpur. In

the final moments, he became eager to score. Nobody knows why his Gtalk gets

uninstalled regularly or why he supports MS Dhoni.

PSYCHO MARD kehte hain jab

Psycho (as we call him) garajta hai, to Nehru aur Patel mein cyclone aata hai. A man of

few words, a man who means business, is also very friendly by nature. People do not

dare him, but come to him for notes before sem exams, and he willingly obliges. He

sleeps on a Tuesday afternoon and gets up on Thursday morning to avoid the great

delicacies served in our mess. Shayad hi kisi ne KGP mein Prof ko khullam khulla kaha

hoga “M* C*****, mere ko viva nai dena” !!!, and happily settles for a 'C' in the subject.

All of us here @ BTW were privileged to have him in our gang for the past 4 years.

'Trust' him with your life and you won't be disappointed, in a nutshell as we call him

'Jack Bauer'.

joyluv.u@gmail.com Ideal student,ideal

friend......very regular and disciplined,but always pressurizes himself for nothing...dunno

why!!?? Despite having a few girlfriends i still believe he is gay at heart :P Usually

remains sound but pretty lousy after getting drunk.....alwayz opportunistic about getting

treats with his usual "lang-lang". Quite disturbing at times with his high volume music

listening endeavours, hears the same song over and over and over and over......loves long

walks,long chats and long sleep-hours...gets frusst very easily but never gives up. Always

been helpful and thoughtful for his friends.....Wishing u the best of luck for ur future, i

know u ll do well in wtever u do... ll miss u a lot.... joy \m/

one of the best guys i met in kharagpur,

actually i'm glad that I met him. one of the few people who can keep up with my

weirdness and understands my fairly complex and intertwined humor. we often have

discussions on wide range of topics which covers most of the knowledge spectrum.

mixes with everyone and doesnt really care about anything and has a clear idea of what

he is going to do. i doubt his lungs are going to last for more than 40 years. he goes for a

2.2 early in the morning and yet bunks classes. he has his own chunk of weirdness to

share with everyone like most of IITians, covers wide range of chicks along with sathish.

i sincerely wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

ABHISHEK KUMAR

Kolluru Vinod

anilkaraka@gmail.com weird, unique, different..... may be these words are

coined todescribe him. He is an absolute introvert and self-obsessive. He cant even

remember the names of 20% professors in the dept. He may be next to Bill Gates and

Steve Balmer to know abt microsoft that well (kidding). He maintains the crappiest room

in IIT KGP. He may not be likeable to many, but he is definitely interesting. You dont

wannamake a first bad impression wid him, coz its really dificult for him to change his

opinion abt u. He maintains a constant tone for every expression. Most interesting guy

i've met in IIT KGP. cool guy to hang out wid ( may to not to everyone). I hope one day,

i'll get to say "HE WAS MY FRIEND !!!"....

abhikiitian@gmail.com: a very respectable guy , well we call

him SIR . First thing you would notice about him is his smile he laughs a lot, we wonder,

are we telling him a joke. He loves his mother more than anyone but he care for his

friends too much. He consider himself to be a mediocre although he is much more than

merely a mediocre. He never wanted to live in crowded cities but he is moving to

Hyderabad for his job in Dr. Reddys. A highly ambitious person. He is interested in

taking lots of Dowry during marriage. He likes his Chemical Engineering department too

much. A Professor of his department is always ready to give him EX without taking his

end sem examination. He will always be a leader in whatever field he pursue. Wishing

him a great future ahead…

kolluruvinod@gmail.com: Innocent, intelligent and annoying – 3 words to

describe him. By the looks, he may look innocent, but a few minutes with him will make you

say “Oh my god!! What is this guy? Probably he is the only one in IIT KGP to say he has

nothing left to watch in DC++ and also may be the only one to study previous semester

subjects in the next semester just for concepts. That's probably the reason why he got selected

for NVIDIA, even though the top guys of department were in race. His room looks like a

mini- library with a collection of over 50+ books, some not even related to his course. He

finds immense pleasure in messing up with others computers, while they have no clue what

has happened. All these strange qualities make him centre of attraction wherever he goes.

But, at the end of the day, he is a wonderful friend.

Mohit Anand

Bhuwandeep

iitkgp.mohit@gmail.com: A person who claims (sometimes valid) to have

funda about any abstract topic known to mankind. He likes to change his hairstyle every

semester, sometimes more, which include having a mushroom cut to a French cut to

Englis`h sideburns. Unarguably, his expertise in p* affairs knows no bounds. Wing

DOPA, he has acquired this title by hours of rigourous analysis and viewership. You sure

can trust his ratings on this subject matter. Enjoys a reputation of never studying even 5

mins before the exam and even then scoring pretty well. Sometimes he can be pretty

reclusive and short tempered. He tries to be a person with a great aura and style

statement, but that rarely happens, and you can spot him mostly in his shorts. He mailed

out to more than 2000 profs overseas, for an internship and is still searching for his first

one to pursue after graduation.

bhuwandeep.mf.iit@gmail.com:If you want to experience a non-typical

KGPian meet Bhuwandeep - the childish, vegetarian and non-daru/ sutta guy with a

refreshing cherubic smile and 100% attendance, whose speech never requires

censorship. However, this apparently “maggu” and reclusive guy has watched every TV

series and 80% of all English movies available in LAN. A walking encyclopaedia on

movies, songs, sports or any other entertainment topic, Bhuwandeep is the person who

provides incentive for night-long “bhaat sessions” of A block. A proud owner of a

Jurassic Age laptop with 256 MB RAM, Bhuwandeep has to struggle to watch the HD

movies of size greater than 3 GB. You can take it as a challenge to show any negative

point of NANO in front of this TATA loyalist. And yes, even if you start 15 minutes

before the class time never ask Bhuwandeep for cycle lift as you will end up reaching 5

minutes after the scheduled time.
