Semester 2-8
Everyone in college has their own "gang" (unless you are like Surya who keeps jumping from one group to another never truly fitting in anywhere or like Viswa who is simply present in all gangs). If am gonna write about my college life, I should be writing about the people with whom I have spent a lot of time with. So here goes.
A Man United fan, a gifted poet, one of the few to watch English TV serials and vague movies like the Machinist (which is a true master piece), loads of online FIFA via Hamachi meant we had plenty to talk during the long lecture hours.
Impulsively sarcastic and a true somberi, the dude shows an uncanny ability in keeping his spirits high. This post probably describes him best. Apart from being one of my closest friends, he has done a spectacular job as my shrink :D
Oh ya, the dude has a real life story that would put most tamil movies to shame.
A cousin of sorts, Sarvesh is a stand up guy and best described by the word 'decent'. Despite coming from a seriously loaded family (He once said, in full earnest, "Pocket money la bike vaangirla. Aana my family won't let me drive it"), he wants to start a company fully on his own. Baffling, you know. Co-founder of TOSS. He has given me plenty of advice on a specific area of interest which I have mostly never followed.
And ya, a famous tamil movie is more or less based on his real life story :P
Sowmy Narayan aka Ironman :D
The geek of the group, Sowmy (ya some boys also have that name :P ) is a rare specimen indeed. This lanky dude is clever, witty and amusive. A true connoisseur of sarcasm, his ability to grasp even the most subtle meanings of a conversation is unbelievable. The dude reads novels, watches movies/tv serials, bunks classes yet still somehow ends up with a CGPA above 9. Also the co-founder of TOSS.
One of the best writers I know in real life (to know what I mean, read this), he wants to be a writer, lawyer and/or an entrepreneur :D
Viswanath aka Viswa (not Vichu)
Initially hung out with him mostly because he hung out with Vishnu. Talks a lot and comes with tons and tons of mokkais, a small percentage of which are actually funny. Best used to break the ice in awkward situations, he is comparable to a head ache. Despite your best efforts, you are never sure why you got it and how to get rid of it.
Surya
His inclusion in this list would surprise a lot of people and for good reason. He has somehow stuck to my gang for so long, getting rid of him has become too much effort for a somberi. Guaranteed to do something silly-looking at least once every five minutes, he has got a recent passion for cartoons and the spartans (this is an inside joke.. for now) which thankfully no one else seems to share.
Nalini aka Nemo
Childish and studious to almost a fault, she is a happy-go-lucky kinda girl. Its almost funny how every time I talk to her I seem to upset someone or the other. She is quite a good dancer and has been the inspiration for quite a few posts in this blog. And thanks to her, I have had many interesting phone calls(again, this is another inside joke). Also she is probably one of the few women who knows a lot about me and someone I know a lot about.
Well I could write about a few more people but feeling too lazy to complete.
