 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 (even got a bit bored with it),
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 nothing more intoxicating than success. 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 perfection. 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 - 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 2nd
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 2nd year got refreshed. It was nice to see 4th and 5th years
climb on top of chatais to tie up the loops and suddenly we were back in our 2nd 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
Hockey. We had our long-awaited medals in Basketball (Silver) and Bridge (Bronze) and Silver in
Volleyball and Weightlifting. 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 Entertainment and the Literary 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.

YO AZAD

 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! My
kudos and heartiest congratulations to all of them. I also thank all my seniors who turned up in
huge numbers and showed the same tempo which they had exhibited two years back and kept the
2nd years going. With our experience from this year and the present tempo I believe we can pull it
off next year.

Now focusing on the GC, the Entertainment cup was lost by just a few points which were most
unfortunate. Hats off to the whole Entertainment team and all others who contributed to it! We
lost even the Literary cup by just a few points again, though, we ended the year on a happy note
with gold in English Elocution. Drams cup started with a very different note, unexpected and
gloomy, this year. Even after great performance In English dramatics we failed to impress the
judges. There are a lot of lessons to be learned though from this year's performance, a few areas
where we will definitely work upon the next year. My kudos to the Fine Arts team, especially
Mrityu 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 an
uphill task ahead. But the present 2nd years showed a lot of promise for the times to come. I
believe that if we really practice hard without getting complacent we can bring the GC home next
year. On this note I would like to wish the next G. Sec Socult the best of luck for the next year and
sign 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 grudgingly
admit that luck definitely did not help us this time round. We certainly didn't do everything
correctly. But in spite of all this we managed to finish in the top three ranks of 2 GCs, Soc-cult and
Tech. We came very close to win Lit cup and Ent cup. We pulled off a gold in Open IIT English
drams, managed to do nothing short of spectacular in Inter Hall English drams and drew bolt from
the 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 remains
the mix of talent and tempo we found in the new 2nd year batch. Last year, we were pretty sure
that we'll be in deep water once the five pillars of our drams team (for the uninitiated, they are
KG, Suthar, Dhiman, Arka and Shaurya) pass out. But when they are actually passing out, we
realize 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 is
a pure winner, everywhere) and one of the most melodious ones in Saurav. Add a very skilled and
committed 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 on
the 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 we
put in Product Design and Ad Design certainly set the tempo for the whole year. Come spring
semester and we scripted a great fight back. A Chem Innovation Bronze was closely followed by
gold in Case Study (thanks to Ricky, Rohit, Sushant and Chauhan) and Silver in Opensoft. We
finished our run of this year with Silver in Hardware Exhibition and just one event away from the
laurel. 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 tech
team, 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 we
really needed them. And I really don't want you guys to miss the GC treat next year. And believe
me, 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 the
cases when I faltered, for all the instances where I failed to raise the bar or dropped it. And thanks
a 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 that
Azadians 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 of
HMC. I had a few meetings with the HMC chairman, Warden and a couple of other professors in
which I was provided insight into who can get a DC and various other options(:P). Finally I
managed to settle everyone down. I thank my batchmates and second years for their co-operation
and 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 the
various construction works, blame games between construction and sanitary departments,
problems regarding the terms of Sweeping contract and involvement of political parties in the
Sweeping 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 seniors
and juniors who helped me out a lot. (I loved the debates with the juniors). I hope I will be able to
take 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 post
of a General Secretary due to some “unexpected developments”, but we did learn a lot from this
and 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 were
forced to stay away in MMM due to unavoidable circumstances. They displayed the true spirit of
an 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-operation
Finally....... 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 an
understatement when I say that, along with the MCM members, I kept myself busy to help the
mess function effectively. There were some tough and good times. At the end of it all we learned a
lot, experienced something really new, and, even listened to a lot of comments, complaints and
compliments.
If anyone ever felt that I gave diplomatic answers or tried to procrastinate things, I assure you that
was never the case. I feel my interaction with the workers was extremely good, and I have been
encouraging and motivating them during the good and bad times, and I believe, not only me but
all 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 authorising
power of the students has declined. Previously we used to have a tender system at the hall level
which 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 to
repeat is that we can control the quality as long as the decision making is in our hands, so please
do 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. I
hope I continued the good work and convey my best wishes to the next G. Sec and hope
everything functions smoothly.

Cheers

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

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

The habit of dreaming big, the journey to follow goals takes us to places we never thought we
could go, makes us meet people which we would never have met otherwise and fills up each
moment of our life with bitter-sweet experiences which we carry forward on our way. In the case
of us kgpians, this journey brought us here, to this place called IIT Kharagpur .We gradually
dissolved in its fervour and became a part of the famous kgp cluture. We were all here, with
different interests, different choices, trying to blend into one homogeneous mass of kgpians- a
breed that could go on to do anything in the world, from working on complicated engineering
problems to managing multinational companies. We knew that the most crucial and at the same
time, 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 very
fact led us into making a number of new friends, new mates in kgp. We started sharing our small
joys 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 became
all the more triumphant because of them and the little moments when we felt bogged down, they
were 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 through
the day, and at the same time, managing a number of extra-curricular activities through nights and
the very popular night-outs. There is everything, from 'drams,' dance and music to sports and
games. The clock keeps ticking and you keep grabbing its hands, wanting it to stop and give you
some more time. It's like you are an athelete...You sweat and sweat but each drop keeps you going
for more. Hats off to this place where human endurance exceeds the boundaries of space and
time! There are times when this breath-takingly pacy life decides to slow down. But this place
itself 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 breaking
down. The day of saying goodbye to the place finally dawns. Tears well up in our eyes and we grow
nostalgic. The moments- both good and bad keep coming back to our memories, making the
farewell all the more difficult. The journey of life, unlike any other journey, often takes such
sudden turns, making us leave what we treasure most, to search for newer, undiscovered
treasures.
Nevertheless, we take up this challenge and surge forward in our journey, packing into our luggage
memories....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 the
last language exam they have, and even though their last “written” piece gets them a distinction in
the exam. They don't care for writing. Some just have a nose for writing. They write to their
entertainment, 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 produce
pieces from then on. Mostly these pieces are never written, they are typed. Parts of these pieces are
copied 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 just
once, just once to express how I feel about not having “written” for so long. I just want feel that
spontaneity, that rawness, that true sense of originality. My piece should be one, not corrected by a
spelling checker algorithm; nor supported by a thesaurus website, once I fall short of novelty of
words, novelty of expressions; because true writing is about expression and no matter what kind of
language you use, your expression is what your piece stands for. I mean, there are various ways to
display your prowess in using sophisticated words, take the GRE or take part in some verbal ability
test or just take the CAT. There are ways to show your prowess in using catch phrases, quotes and
so 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 sophisticated
words, cool and catchy phrases or general trivia. All that I intend to say point out is that, not
writing, just because you are not good at any of these or some of the other “central themes” for
pieces 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 give
you fame, money, appreciation, recognition, and everything desirable, writing gives you quality
time 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
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........

Ooops…… !!
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.

 Ten Commandments

1. Get four friends in life and share a single bed with them. The sleep will be long remembered
(All for good reasons, If you know what I mean)

2. Never ever be afraid to try things. Booze, Fag, Grass, Floyd, Depp, Wodehouse – Life is
incomplete without experiencing them.

3. You can go and kill yourself if you are 23 and still a virgin.

4. No seriously, you need to die now. Like – Right Now!!

5. Spend your weekend only on Maggi and Tinku once in a while.

6. If you are working and you don't own a bike, I will come and kill you.

7. Stop living with your parents if you have crossed the age of 18.

8. Bitching is Nirvana.

9. Fall in love.

10. Meet KG-Suthar once before you die.

 It Was Never there from the Other Side

After foppishing for an hour

Finally I left to meet her,
For the reason I waited so long
As 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 feel
I was waiting for her to come
And then my heart beat faster
And faster and faster
Seeing her, drenched me with sweat
And our eyes met…
Both smiled and exchanged wishes
And then a long silence
Which was shouting a lot
Her eyes talked to me
And revealed that she was nervous too.
And then, on a lighter note
It started with the weather of the day
And it went on and on…
Till suddenly, HE interrupted with 'Hi'
And the reply was
A kiss by my girl.
The girl who was with me
And it all pierced deep into my heart.
Appreciated, that the lad didn't join us
But 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 realize
It 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 around
me is changing.
There are so many stars
for me to see,
But you are the
only 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 get
Close to you,
Lest, I might regret
knowing 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 failed
as little stars were all that hailed.
Without the moon in the sky soon
darkness was the one which prevailed.
I sat there by the window
in that moonless sleepless night
and heard birds chirping
a sound which is ignored by the light

I thought how people disregard

this beautiful sound by the radiance
Don't the birds chirp all day
or we just have no time to lay
A wonder it is how we overlook something infront of us
to think of things far ahead
living in the present was a thing of the past
Future-thinking, that's our new cast

The wonderful chirping was disturbed

by the sudden bark of the hound
He sat there watching his shadow
maybe 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 off
behind a car, prey for a vulture

He followed it far and then finally stopped

And then barked for a long time
And it was that time when I remembered
Of 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 run

Behind things futile
Without ever stopping once to reflect
What'll be the resile
We run behind materialism all our life
Without thinking once why we do it
It is for inner peace one would say
but I ask does inner peace come from outside?

22
 Then something else makes me laugh
Are we living a life same as the dog?
Maybe that's why it is as sleepless as me
But I am shackled and he is free.

Another faint noise gets my attention

This time it is a man I guess
He's shouting at someone is my deduction
Hearing the intensity and pitch of the blare
Maybe it's a father scolding his drunk son
Or a man beating the woman he married
Or maybe just a man taking out frustration he brought along
From a hard day at work

Whatever it is it reminds me
Of the swift society we boast
Where feeling are a thing of the past
And anger is the thing we live with most
But I see now rays of hope
Now coming across this eternal sky
And it is a beautiful sight
Where the day mixes with the night

Slowly contaminating the darkness

which suppressed it for so long
Proving that darkness is just an illusion
Soon to be shown by the light
And a beautiful picture it was
When the sky changed colors
But now it will take away just
The peace and quiet
Of the night

 Dream Lover

My life will be empty and alone

Until I have my lover here
My arms will be empty and cold
Until I have my sweetheart near.

I will wake happy each morning after dreaming

Dreams of his sweet kiss and gentle touch
I will cry each night before I sleep
A painful void in my heart, cause I miss him so much

Each day the time seems to go by more slowly

I try to keep him from my mind
But each time I close my eyes
He is there everytime

Looking deep into my eyes

He is in my heart and my mind
I could search the world over
Another like him I would not find

So come join me dream lover

Stay with me the rest of your life
I'll be your best friend, your lover, your girl
And forever I'll be your wife

We can grow old together

Sit and watch the decades go by
Happy and content in each others arms
From today until the day we die

And when we are six foot under

Even then together we will be
My spirit joined with yours
Together 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 day
I take time to savor the sky twilight
A beautiful sight it is, I could not help but share
the 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 sleep
collecting all it's golden charms.

The crescent moon behind me rests

the evident king in the crowd of smalls
It smiles at me and I smile back
and together we wait as the sun falls.

As the sun falls behind the horizon

I give it a fierce stare
I realize the enemy if attacked when weak
cannot do… but retreat to it's lair.

The moon shimmers calm

the sun blesses with warmth
the sky is dynamic, changing colors fast
From pure magical white to dotted char.

I see the sun and recall the time gone by

I see the moon dream of coming days
but my thoughts fail to change
the way time sways.

Standing in the middle of tomorrow and today

I now realize a very important fact
I will be taken in times to come
no 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 that
like today, tomorrow too, shall pass.

Another tomorrow will again come

to which I'd say no again
'cause I'd again be attached to my time
but I'd be dragged into the future, again.

27
 Thinking this I learn an important lesson
that tomorrow, memories are what which only remain
and I'd collect each one of them, to live the present I love
and to cherish them, I'd live each one of them.

By living I do not mean just breathe through it

nor I ask you to be happy always
I 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 heart

and know you carry no burden of guilt
you just became one with the time which passed with you
and both, had a wonderful voyage, incomplete without the other.

You added to someone's life

you gave a message to love
you preached nothing you didn't practice
and you brought a smile to ones who had crying eyes.

You can't make time follow your rules

so you have to be one with it
and saying that the sun goes down
giving 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.

35
 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:

This 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!

Niraj Singh aka Chunni babu niraj824@gmail.com:

Azad Hall's mascot for all inter hall events held in Netaji and Kalidas. The ballistic
Dramatics Secretary (version 2k6) of Azad Hall could always be spotted on stage prior
to any performance.A great actor and mimic as well as one of the most high profile
poltus of the insti, attracted largest number of votes fromSN. Also the winner of " N
thousand miles" award for covering uncountable number of miles on 'his' bike during his
stay in kgp and chunni babu tag for.....we all know for wat, don't we!
Caution! - Can grow extremely violent even to the extent of inflicting self injuries
thereby attracting security's attention with people telling him.."abe bahar mat aana police
tere ko khoj rahi hai"
A diehard chinki lover, has finally cracked a job in chinkaland earning him the likes of

 Kaustubh Gururaj aka Mamaji, KayJee, Guru 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”

Amit Suthar aka Suthar the.aks.amit@gmail.com :

The grand old daddy of dramatics in kgp, there is only one word to describe what he does
on 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 (who
would believe that). His boiling point is just above his freezing point which leads to arbit
mood swings in the midst of practices. Known for getting high frequently after a set of
cold drinks, this guy can really blow your mind away with his one liners. Tried his best to
stay away from his dept as far as possible but in the end it got back to him and spent his
last one month practically inside his dept. Was even caught drinking by profs and since
then is among the notorious 'darue' of the institute. Famous quote: ' Judges please note the
empty stage' ;)

Himanshu Dhiman 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. Seriously
this is the guy you would want to invite to all treats! He brings his own boiled eggs to
treats 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 the
entire wing by spreading the gym virus. Made half the wing so health conscious that
people started distributing their ice creams n chocolates on specials.
Superpowers: Super-Burp, Can get high without drinking.
Achievements: 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 a
greeting card from Tech market - always made his own cards for his girl. Has a daughter
in Gangtok. Knows the story of all the TV series and can talk about it for hours although
he hasn't seen a single one.Everybody knows the rest of Dhiman....Choreo captain, TDS
governor, G. sec Library, extreme sento for his MTP.
Memorable quotes: "Kyun bahar khaana hai?!", "dada 2 bread omelets.", "Main daaru
nahin piunga par high ho jaunga."

Ritej Bachhawat ricky1011@gmail.com:Rikki. Mugne me Parth ka Bachha.

Haraampane me nilesh ka bada bhai. Hamare wing ko barbaad karne me do logon ka
haath tha. Parth and Rikki. They made sure that no treats could be planned without a
hundred problems. Considering his academic commitments, involvements with M.Tech
and PhDs, late night lab work and commitment towards his bandi - he would have done
better at Gokhale Hall :P. However he does have an extramarital affair at KGP ;) nudge
nudge wink wink :):)
Superpowers: Time management: He can do hugga while studying, also, can study while
doing hugga. He can walk, eat, sleep! ride, hug (hugga) while on phone.
Achievements: Holds the record for joining the gym the maximum no. of times: 16 and
counting. Go Ricky. Still follows WWE when people of his age are WWE members
themselves. Managed to survive in KGP without the canteen bhaat sessions. The real
Illu god. The only ILLU God. Never even touched a diya or attended an Illu in his entire

38
 KGP career. Despite being the DR1 he is oblivious of the difference between Electrical
& Electronics engineering (a true interview story).
On a more serious note, the guy is a stud and sincere towards everything he does. Dude
cracked ZS associates. Is a 9+ in EC. Case study gold winning captain. Prepared with his
formals and shoes on for CAT, and scored 99.74%

every now and then, a total of 19 times and counting...
Headed to hit the "States" this year, he has suddenly become a fitness freak getting up at
5 am for gym (dude.. is this your 5th year !!), has recently started to gaze himself a lot in
the mirror, waiting for that perfect body that he dreams of (with shaking legs lifted
upwards :P). Is trying hard to build up his drinking capacities and has come a long way
from 1 to 3 pegs...not able to showcase his patent dance steps for much too long.
Wish him all the best for his "UT Austin" chapter. For internship opportunities for your
children 20 years down the line, contact:

Superpowers: sote - sote movies dekhna
Memorable Quotes: "Chal 2.2 pe chalte hain"..... then thodi der baad... "abe main 2.2 pe
jaa raha hun", "Chal mantri chai peene chalte hain"(mantri ki absence mein bhi hum ye
quote roz sun lete hain.. god knows mantri ko kitna frusst karta hoga)

Nilesh Maheshwari iitkgp.nilesh@gmail.com: [India me Neelu US me Neil] He is the

slowest creature on the planet. If he were any slower he would be going backwards.
Undoubtedly the most stylish guy in the wing. Has got an unmatchable swagger (If ever
RGV wanted to make Terminator he would certainly hire Neelu). He is the Shakti
Kapoor of the wing. From petty shoplifts in US to having chats as girls with wingies he
has done all sort of Villainy. He is a sadist who enjoys every bit of his devilry. As far as
mess 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.
Superpowers:
Energy-draining, ear-piercing laughter…. His hands can eat…. He can vomit 50 liters at
a time.
Weakness: Cats [A cat chased him from Billoo to Azad: True Story]. Can be spotted
everywhere on campus, running away from cats.
Memorable quotes:
"Hum nahin khayega"; "Hum nahin jayega"; "Hum nahin karega"; "kaam tha"; “Kya bol
raha hai!!”; “Kyun bol raha hai”
Nevertheless, the wing would have been incomplete without his vast wisdom of cheap
movies and long forgotten songs. He is a complete foodie, and loves to travel (went to
the extent of applying at Argentina to travel). All the best for his plans to open a casino.

Praveen Yadav praveenyadav09@gmail.com :Popularly known as Pirvin Bhai. The guy
has the most charming and disarming smile in KGP. Behind that sweet smile lie a
hundred 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, he
opens door like an angry kumbhkaran, almost always with sleepy eyes. He got PPO from
reliance twice. The first was fake and so well done that he started doubting when he got
the real offer. Very few people have seen him drunk, and those who have say that it's the
most entertaining stuff. He is an ardent fan of RR. Singing is his secret talent. Sadly the
Ent. Team couldn't recognize it [Shame on you Gulati, Imli, Jimi] {Sob}
Memorable Quotes: "Do boond chawal dena.", "Do boond khisak ja", "do boond baat

Tushar Gulati rahsut.italug@gmail.com :Gulati urf Gullu urf Rahsut Italug. Iska namak
to hum sabhi ne khaya hai. He has achieved a lot in Kgp. 150kg ke hippo se 60kg ke
Bandar tak ka safar isne 2 mahino mein khatam kiya, Azad ki mess sudhaar di, 80 lakh
ka patent nikaal diya. A music god, Ghaasi God, 5 interhall events ka captain. He is a real
studd. 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 to
Gullu ka System Faliure ho jaata hai aur usse shut down karke uske room mein rakhke
aana padta hai. Mess ka sachha premi. Iska sabse kareebi rishtdaar, iske dukh sukh ka
saathi iska guide hai. Although CFM mein aane ke baad humne iske sudhaar ke liye
khoob fight maari hai. Ab ye 11 baje tak jaagne laga hai, Treats pe jaane laga hai, aur to
aur 2 baar TPark, 1 baar Flavours, 1 baar supdup bhi jaa chuka hai... Yo CFM. Ek imp
baat, Gulati ki chamchamaati hui surat ka raaz hai uska "Everyouth Facepack" jo wo
weekly apni komal skin ko aur komal banane ke liya lagata hai.
Achievements: Managed to spend 4 years of KGP life without going to Carlos, SupDup,
Cheddis, TPark, Shere Punjab even once.
Memorable Quotes: "Abe bahut neend aa rahi hai yaar, bahut thak gaya hun yaar!", "Yaar

Emmanuel Kerketta kerkettaonline@gmail.com:The GOD guitarist, who has ventured

into playing the keyboard, and singing as well. Watching him sway like a buoy on the
sea, while singing on stage shows how deep he feels his passion for music. In fact, it's a
real visual treat to watch him sway, and worth every penny of your KGP fees. A very
kind 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 Grey
Should know why :P. Over the years, he's come to realise his orientation, and has since
not stopped showering love on all his wingies. (pun intended).

 Nagendra Bharadwaz nagendra.iitkgp@gmail.com:At first look, this guy comes off as
silent, calm and introvertish. But, beneath this clamor, we find an entirely different
person, creative, passionate and charming. Rangoli King, the Pope of Sketching, Yoda of
Arts 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-made
decorations and what not. Wish him all the best for his career in arts (waise SAIL ki
sarkari naukri hai hi.. )

K Ravi Theja 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 say
NO for anything. Very adorable senior. Extremely courteous and polite. Never gives u a
PSI. His tempo is like sinusoidal wave plotted against feasibility. It increases as the work
goes on n decreases if gets difficult :P. He has high estrogen levels in his body which is
evident 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 discussion
and is popularly known as 'Smiling Theja' among SNites. Go Theja ;)
Secret: If he sees a dream, he would wake up even if it's dead in the night and write a
poetry about it!
Achievements: got high with G in 2nd yr and "drowned" under the bed :P

Jimi Adhikari jadhi87@gmail.com :Addicted to DOTA, AoE, Quake, CS, Sutta, Cell
phone, & two-timing, three timing.... n-timing. If he's not in his room, he's either on the
phone, 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 from
Imli da: "Love youuuuu, Jimi."

Puneet – aka punnu and pumbaa iitianpuneetg2005@gmail.com: 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.

Abhinav-aka baccha. 302.abhinav@gmail.com: Apna room sirf soone or hi!@ne ke

liye use karta hai, baki time kisi aur ke room pe hi beettata hai. Duniya ki moh maya se
pare hai. Pinnacle of peace- ab to profs bhi warning dena chor chuke hai. Sex ke time
woman on top hi prefer karega since it involves least activity from his side. Has only a
bed 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- na
jane wing cricket main kitte tubelight phode hai. And has finally found love defying all
expectations!
A beautiful mind! Has got innocent looks and even more innocent heart. A true friend
and superb guy to hangout with.

Aimen- aka “abe bhosadi ke iitkgp.bilgrami@gmail.com: . Ardent GUNDA fan. Har

hafte gunda ke dialogues ka revision karta hai, 'Gunda4011' course main pakka Ex
maarta. Exaggerated hand movements while talking- specially naak, mooh ko apni gaand
ki tarah pochna. “abe Main jo keh raha..dhyaan se sun”!! Logo ko jabardasti pakad ke
funda 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 local
train se sher-e-punjab le gaya tha! Double room main “jo khaya wahin failaya” but sala
apne single room main “slippers bhi bahar utarwaya”! Very emotional and passionate
guy. Always there to help u in times of need. Bas funda bahut pelta hai!

 Goldy-aka Laliteshwar and Kisan Kanhaiya goldy.blitz@gmail.com: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!

Shubham shrivastava (aka b]-[AIYA happa dadapada bhagat singh)

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.

Sameer Sourabh (a.k.a. Juicy Sam) saurabh.sameer007@gmail.com: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.

Prateek (a.k.a. Hackie, a.k.a. Gillu, a.k.a. Chottuassu)
prateek2888@gmail.com: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.

Aditya Priyankar Sanyal electrifyingsoul@gmail.com: 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!!!

Savesh (aka Sarvesh da aka Gajodhar da aka Sadhu baba)

sarvesh.kgpian@gmail.com: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.

 Devendra Gupta (Deven”) devendragupta001@gmail.com: If there is a startup in kgp ,
then Deven has something to do with it . Co-founder of the hottest venture in Kharagpur
at 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 player
oversaw 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 shorter
things ).

Keshav Modi 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

Rahul Saxena (“Sexy”) rahul1iitkgp@gmail.com: 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 .

45
Ravi Kapoor(“Kappu”) 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.

Paresh Prakash (“PP”) 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!!

Arka Aloke Bhattacharya (a.k.a. Whoreko a.k.a. G2 – Gentle Giant/Gaandu Gainda

a.k.a Orca a.k.a. King Bong a.k.a. Chhipkali ke Sasur) arkaaloke@gmail.com:
If 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 (CS
DR1) : 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 in
themselves, he gave them tempo, orchestrated lots of Gold winning performances that
hardly anyone could have done. He madeAzad…more.
What still sets him apart is his great humility despite his superhuman gifts. He is the person
anyone in the hall would go to for help, counselling or even bhaating (and a few for
memorable sleepovers). His love for getting into debates and talking aplomb about any topic
under the Sun, coupled with his endearing maroability adds to his charm.
Equally characteristic of him were times of paranoid psychosis during exams, when he was
convinced that he'd get a fakka, since his preparation had been by far the worst ever, but
inched past to get an Ex (in every subject). His love for Internet Explorer, Bengal and
Ganguly is food for great romantic literature (and mockery). It is believed that every time
Ganguly hit a six, he used to have an orgasm, and when Ganguly had to retire, he went
throught a six month long 'Manopausal' limbo. This is what purportedly engendered his
much publicized aversion to girls.
This sapient manager, visionary leader, great friend and celestial body, is going to UC
Berkeley 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 title
sponsor of many hall treats. Its love for any and all mishti and ball dropping ability to ingest
truckfulls of Shawndeysh is also worth mentioning. It loves someone on the campus. It is not
gay.

 Pranav Mathur (a.k.a Porno, Porny, Porno D) 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
wing mein raat ko 3 bajay ke baad hi paya jata hai.

Chinta Rajasimha (a.k.a ChintaRA – the Loadless, ChaRaS)

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
wahan.. DESSPOOBUOY). Wing ka sabse peace Gult hai. Gaming skills – beyond
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 in Amsterdhaam and deported to homeland in ship.
:D. Chinta will name his boy Sutta and his daughter Meri Jane).

Anshul Rai Bansal (a.k.a Moosa, ARB, BRA, Froosa (frusst Moosa), Mini-Me of the
wing) anshul.arb@gmail.com: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

47
btw.. there are lots of).Takes life too seriously. Logon ko ek job nahin milta… yeh
Mahasheh chaar ko mana karke aye hain. Moosa's words of wisdom: “Abe biwi ke saath
sex.. ke bare mein baat karni padegi kya!”

Ankur Bansal (Bansi) ankurb.iitkgp@gmail.com:Eight feet tall, big foot approaches with
a swagger and looks down with narrowed eyes… and whispers “36-24-36.. I finally made
it.” That's Bansi for you. Inspired by Kareena Kapoor, he embarked on project Size Zero
which involved relocating to the gym for a year, pecking one roti, once a week and endlessly
standing in front of the mirror, without, however compromising on his insatiable thirst for
Antiquity Blue and Blender's Pride. First year se stud hai, baddy ka Federer, pichhle saal se
volley mein bhi apne jalwa (supersonic one hand smash, coupled with a 200Decibel 'Chhod
De') dikha raha hai. Dikhta sidha hai but bahut bada bakchod hai, orkut pe arbit bandiyoon ke
mazay leta hai, develops a crush on every other girl passing by.has had over 5000 crushes till
now (*pallavi*).Kisi bhi company ke funde chaiye ya laundi,launde ka character,CG etc
Bansi has up to date info. Knows his priorities well and has potential to make it really big 1
day. Bansi's the patrol officer of the wing. Kahin bhi gathering hui to pahunch jata hai. Point
to note: he self-tutored himself through JEE.

Arpit Mishra (Misri) 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 hasna
Nahate huay logon par sting operation karna (INSTI mein BLUE film banana pasand hai)
Corridor mein ardha-nagna awastha mein skipping karna
Par kuchh bhi kaho, launda bahut sweet hai, poora boyfrnd material hai, dance kaisa bhi
karay, karta zaroor hai. Misri water-polo aur aquatics ka Captaan hai. Poora eeshtudd hai.

Soumyajit Behera (SamB, Samby, Shummajay Bohora, Sambho*da, Tau)

smttjb@gmail.com:
Hathi si chaal hai,
maggie se baal hain,
shaggy sa haal hai,
Samby bemisaal hai.

B-Grade scientist hai. Bandiyon ki absence mein billiyon se hi kaam chala leta hai (Screw
you PETA). Boasts of having the highest frequency on the planet, and the human race is
indebted to the horny soul for enrolling in FCP (thank you GB) and stopping for 5 days.
Salay ko chadti nahin hai.. par high honay ki huha acting karta hai, itni ki aas paas ka har ek
insaan pareshan ho jata hai. Sutta maarne ka style niraala hai (Beedi ishtyle) par cocktails
Godly banata hai. Poora din wing mein mandarata rehta hai. Ulti bakchod hai, par profs ke
samne super seedha ban jata hai. Kisi se bhi bhaat maar leta hai, sabse ghul mil jata hai.
Sabse, unhikay lingo aur accent mein baat karta hai (tabhi TechM ke bhelpuri walay ko
Bihari lagta hai).
Say what you may, Behera'll certainly carry many more rockets in his pocket except the one
he already carries. CFD God, bio funda God, history funda God would soon be torturing
other fellow scientists even as he launches Agni-3. His happy-go-lucky, live life as it comes
attitude could teach us all a thing or two about living.

 Paawan Sinha (Pawwa) paawan.sinha@gmail.com:Hall ka sabse seedha saadha ladka
hai. Perfect Husband Material: hall ke kai log fight maar chukay hain, par iska dil kisi aur
ke paas hai. The power electronics God completes studying for his exams before 10pm
since he has urgent call to attend after it. He also has the dubious distinction of being the
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
and classes and emptying bowels.
To make him talk, you have to wish him good morning or evening otherwise he can walk with
you for hundreds of meters without saying a word. May seem aloof, but is a very concerned,
caring and loving person to everyone around him. The next Dhirubhai of reliance.
Note:Aglay mahinay, iski sagai par zaroor ana.

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

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

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

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

return to India.

 Adarsh Sikaria: adiveol@gmail.com:Publicly known as Sikka or Adiveol, he gained
his college life experience in pre-college days (except bandibaazi, which is still an area
of 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 keeps
him busy these days. Sikka's highly talented, with an area of expertise including almost
everything :) (Mast Dancing, Table-Tennis, Cricket, Poker, Carrom et al), and is always
game for anything new/crazy :). This fellow has brains, and though he's lost the tempo to
use 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 efforts
se 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 "khaate
khaate thak jaata hai" :P), yet he loves to pick up fights (mostly with the other half), and
the 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 perfect
friend :)

Ashutosh Satapathy: vicky4724@gmail.com: Also known as Sattu, Ashu, or

Satapathy, he's a simple, life-loving, carefree, easy-going person, and loves to experiment
with 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 and
with a good sense of sarcasm, ise logon ki maarne mein bada mazza aata hai (kuchh log
kabhi kabhi iski bhi maar lete hai). A man of principles and ideals (sounds nice :P, and he
really 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 for
him (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 out
his mind (galtiyan batata hai, fir uspe maarta hai and finally solution deta hai) (Truth
might sometimes be bitter :P). Everything said, Ashu is helpful, 24x7 (to the best of his
abilities), and a great friend (hamesha peeche peeche rehta hai :P), after all a friend in
need is a friend indeed :)

Anuj Kr Singh: anuj.cse.iit@gmail.com:“Abe Arko dekh lega,Rahul saxena dekh

lega.darwaza bandh kar le” guess for what he came to my room everyday! Sutta in 2nd
year! Now he is the one of the foremost suttabaaz in the hall. 'Chota goldflake' ka biggest
fan! One of the greatest paltu. I strongly recommended to him to consider a career in
politics 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 this
fact just before exams every sem! By the way Bahut rota hain!! Once an aspirant
weightlifter! 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 by
even if you are wrong, and not afraid to get into some hustle and bustle for that, DVD n
Sugam will verify that. All in all it's been a very good 3 years with you,considering all
your pros and cons, hope the friendship continues in the afterlife too (I mean beyond the
IIT days! )
May the 'chota goldflake” be exported to Singapore too!!!

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 DUBHASHI dipadubhashi@gmail.com:Dipa .. Deepa .. Dabba .. Drum ..Some

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)

% single handedly ) and of course we friends.

Aniruddha Sharma callingdexter@gmail.com:Anirudhha Sharma the great .The

name calls for cheers in the crowd(irony being his greatness is self proclaimed and cheers
take place in his mind :P ) .He has occupied each and every position of responsibility in
IIT some being ktj ,place comm ,Times of India Campus Editor(cummon dude ders no
such post :P ) ,AISSAC chairman( offered and rejected as told by him :P ).A boy with
great ambitions , a true go getter and takes work close to his heart had the balls to reject
placement and go through his Carbon Clean Solutions(if u havent heard that name then

60
 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

Prateek Bumb pb.iitkgp@gmail.com: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.

Asit Parija asit.thebrains@gmail.com: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.

Ankur Singhal ankursinghal5@gmail.com:"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

Sai Aditya saiaditya007@gmail.com: 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 passion
for music, esp. Guitar, displayed an entirely new perspective of this lazy bum. Lazy as he
may 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's
simply stunning. His juicy demeanor has won many hearts, esp. one from LLR. :P
His room is one hell of an artwork made by his creepy little eight legged pets, despite
which his room is a common meeting room for all gults of KGP (True Story. Really). His
daily 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 us
up even in the dullest of moments. Love u sai da. We WILL miss u.

Bhargav bhargav.kgpian@gmail.com :Ask him any question he has got an answer -"lite
mama”, he only eats food just enough to keep him alive and provide him sufficient
energy to run his daily errands, which also explains his physique :P . He is an ulti cool
guy and peacemaar candi...e kabhi load nahi leta bhai .. even in the shittiest of moments..
Love u bhagi!

Chanakya Nariseti chanu.iitkgp@gmail.com : chanu,cheno the remo of bfw :P.

Imagine how batman or superman would be feeling about themselves(Yes they are for
real :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 his
presence at kgp. I can't believe i almost forgot! His PJ's they are the deadliest ones out
there.. Be cautious for u can never recover if u are hit by one ;). His love for his work is
remarkable. I will miss you chano :|.

Khasibhatla Karthik karthik.kihtrak@gmail.com :kasak .. seldom do u come across

an unique person like khasibhatla karthik.. it's hard to get to know him. Once he opens
up to you he is a great person! he has his set of principles and he lives by his code. May
u reach greater heights in life!

 Pramit Mukherjee pramiit@gmail.com: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 tripathi.iitkgp@gmail.com: 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.

Ullas Aggarwal 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.

63
ANKUR SHUKLA 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 Kobragade 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…

Jayanta Phadikar jayanta.msm1@gmail.com: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 Paswan umesh.ork.iitkgp@gmail.com: The early riser. 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.

64
 Shreyas shreyas.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.

Chandan Kumar umi7.chandan@gmail.com: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'.

Joydeep aka joy,mota,balls baba 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/

SUDHEER sudheer.in.iitkgp@gmail.com: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.

65
ANIL 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 !!!"....

ABHISHEK KUMAR 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…

Kolluru Vinod 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.

66
 Mohit Anand 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 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.
