As I walk past Lennons painting on the wall between the welcoming portals of our hall, it reminds me of his words Life is what happens to you while youre busy making other plans. What better vindication could there be for his line than the three years spent in Azad. With each experience it has given, Azad has exceeded all expectations and thrown many unimaginable surprises. (Sadly, these also include the first ghastly encounters with the mess and bathrooms!). From the jolliest of friends to kind-hearted seniors to the lovely juniors, this place has been a treasure trove of some of the best people Ive met. Each one has lent his own unique hue to my palette. Each one, in some way, has helped me grow as a person. Azad is where I came to appreciate the diversity and the versatility of life, as many of its facets that I was oblivious to, got revealed here. From playing friendly card games to failed attempts at learning ping-pong, from appreciating gardening work to recently, organizing parties (Im just getting better at this, I guess), Azad has made me look beyond the boundaries that once confined my life. Azad is where, along with my friends, I learnt about KGPs legendary GC culture. Whichever the event, the whole process of practice and preparation has always been enjoyable. More than the medals, the satisfying part is that for many people, the GC has catalyzed their metamorphosis -from shy to eloquent, from nervous to confident, from vanquished to triumphant. As for the entire experience, I can only invoke the famous PANda : Pure awesomeness! As wing-mates, the transformation from a collection of reticent introverts to a notorious bunch of mischievous buddies, in hindsight, seems an effortless one. With rampant profile-hacking, swearing and spicy (or, is it steamy?) gossips, the breaking events of our wing have acquired potential to make India TV seem less entertaining. What sets these friends apart for me, though, is that much as they have played their pranks and cracked their jokes, they have stood by me in trying times. With the juniors here, it has been a joyride all the way. The countless moments of joy that these lovely ones have added to my life will always be cherished. A wholesome contingent of bright, funny, friendly, disciplined and dedicated juniors with great camaraderie among themselves could have been any captains dream (I sound like a Captain from the forces!). I have lived this dream all through this year. Coming to the nostalgia, I know that the echoes of the common room, the bustle of the Illu arena and the high-spirited tempo shouts will return to haunt me in lonesome days. There will be times when the hugga paneer from the mess will be remembered, albeit for its sheer hatefulness. The breeze of the mess top will be missed and so will the Nescafe corner. But what bothers me the most is the memory of every person I loved (The article is getting sentimental here, so please do not consider double meanings) in these years. Each day, from the unfathomable depths of memory, someone will pop his head out and keep tugging at my heartstrings. After all, one cannot deny that, whenever one walks towards the future, one leaves a doting past behind. One has to accept that remembrance is an inevitable consequence of time, and that time waits for no one. What then could I be taking away from Azad? Im packing in my heart the moist aroma of my damp room, the silent gaze of a little pet, the naughty chuckles of my friends, the smiles of the enthusiastic

freshers and all those little things that make Azad so memorable. In return, however, I do not have much to give, but gratitude. And although I hope that the artist in me never dies, this heartfelt elegy is a Lament of the last in KGP: The curtains are being drawn, and so the sighs Of an old and lonely artist are being heard Who walked upon the holy stage in guise Of man or beast or sometimes, even bird The wings are mourning the final exit bell The steps are crying out in great despair The end is here, the curtains seem to tell The stage, except for him, is all so bare His hands are trembling on this closing night Teardrops are flowing down his withered face He stands alone, with none within his sight No one to cheer or clap or sing a praise But, rising from the agony of goodbyes He gathers himself together yet again A veteran that he is of tricks and guise Knows how, in subtle smile, to disguise pain With emptiness, he departs toward the wings Leaving parts of a dying artists soul on stage The men, the beasts, the birds and other things That he was, that he had been, for all his age. Sourabh Harihar

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 bringthe 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 ofmaintenance, Mess Bill and Security as well. Average condition of the boarders has remainedcomfortable to the mass in general. I hope the glorious past of the Hall will continue to enhancethe future by maintaining excellent trends as usual. I wish the entire outgoing boarders a very prosperous career ahead and I welcome the newcomerswith a wish for their personality full of vigor and vitality. Prof. S.K. Pal

When I look back at my tenure as Hall President, many fond memories come to my mind treating the second years at Chheddis, seeing the beautiful Illumination and Rangoli put up by our Hall, receiving the coveted Rasgullah Pots on behalf of the hall, talking to alumni of the hall and felicitating them during the Alumni meet and finally, inaugurating the new weightlifting room and mess. The year started with great success in the open IIT events, in which our freshers showed their extraordinary talent and came out with flying colours. KHOJ, the first fresher event on the KGP calendar, was a huge success this year too, with an overall participation of around 1300 freshers. Here, I would like to acknowledge the contribution of the 3rd years and the enthusiasm of the 2nd years in organising such a mega event. Then came the big event of illumination, which was started by AZAD hall. The entire hall was involved in preparations, starting from theme discussion sessions till the lighting of diyas. It was nice to see that all of us were working fervently toward one common goal. It took us around 1 month to put up a stellar, thought-provoking illumination, which was appreciated not only by the professors but students all over the campus. And of course, this year we managed to clinch the elusive medals in both Illumination and Rangoli, thanks to the collective effort of all our hall members, especially the first and second years. We had a head start in the sports GC with Gold in inter hall 6k. Unlike last 2 years, we achieved a decent standing in sports GC. This was followed by Gold in cricket after a wait of 3 long years. Our lawn tennis team was exceptional- the freshers led us to gold medal in that too. We won silver medal in chess and finished 4th in many other events. I hope we will be able to get a medal in those events too in the coming year. Although the social and cultural GC and technology GC did not start on a happy note but eventually we gained momentum in both of them. I am glad that we finished with respectable positions in both the GCs with 2nd position in Technology GC and 3rd position in social and cultural GC. However I think that we have the potential to win all the three GCs. I hope that the current 1 st and 2nd year batch with their talent, dedication and hard work will help us achieve that goal. I like to thank the HCM and all the people who stood by me in both good and bad times. This year would not have been possible without your support and co-operation. And finally, I want to say that the Hall would miss the guys who are passing out this year. I wish them luck in their future endeavours. Shreyansh Hall President

It was a great experience holding such a responsible position at an amazing place full of talented and extremely dedicated people. I cant describe my whole experience in any amount of words. My tenure as the Second Senate Member of Azad Hall of Residence was full of events which I would like to mention here. Some of you might be aware of the fact that the strength of our hall was increased to almost double this year. nd We had 754 boarders out of which 219 were 2 years. The year started with the Orientation Program of our nd 2 years. Our main aim during that time was to organize as much fresher events as possible so that our juniors could develop a feeling about the GCs and at the same time interact with their seniors. It was a challenge for us to handle such an enormously large batch. But with the help of everyone we did a pretty good job which resulted in a great performance during the Open-IIT events. Soon after that we realized that we had the potential to outperform other halls. Illumination and Rangoli both started on a high note as we were full of tempo. Due to last years successful illumination we had proper idea on how to make it successful this year. So this year we focused more on theme and gave more time for brain-storming. Finally we decided the theme of Modern Samudramanthan for Illu and Trimurti for Rangoli. All the hard-work we did was awarded with bronze in both Illumination and Rangoli. Moving on to the GCs, I would say that our performance in sports and technology GCs improved a lot whereas th we were consistent in soc-cult. This year we stood 5 in athletic with an outstanding performance in track events. Other than this we also improved remarkably in cricket, lawn tennis, and football. Technology GC this year witnessed a miracle in the form of an Iron Man (Human Exoskeleton) made by our hardware team which clearly reserved the top spot for us. Our performance in Math Olympiad (Gold) and both the Quizzes (Silver in Biz Quiz and joint Silver in Tech Quiz) fetched us the Knowledge cup this year. Soc-cult GC, unfortunately, had a bad start for us. But with time we caught up with our competitors and finally stood third. Our legacy with dramatics continued this year with an unbeatable Gold in Hindi Dramatics. With a much awaited medal in nd Bengali Dramatics (Silver) we stood 2 in dramatics cup (by 15 points). I would also like to mention the developments happened this year. We came up with a new block (E-Block behind D-Block) and a new mess dining room (alongside Volleyball Court and C-Block). Our garden was renovated thoroughly with the installation of numerous night lamps at various places in the hall. We also bought weight-lifting equipment and some musical instruments. This year we also introduced our New Website and an Alumni Portal (http://alumni.azadians.org). Through our Alumni Portal we started our monthly News Letter from the month of March 2012. I request all our Alumni as well as boarders to please register on our new Alumni Portal (http://alumni.azadians.org) as soon as possible so that we all can stay connected. At last I would like to leave a message to all my juniors. I strongly believe that you people have the potential to take Azad to new heights. The dedication and hard-work which you have showed this year is very much appreciated. I hope all of you will work even harder next year so that we can be successful in achieving our goals. Its time when you should feel your responsibility and define your own roles accordingly. Always be united and work selflessly without expecting a lot. Remember, Azad is not just a hall, it is a whole community comprising of its long list of Alumni and its boarders. Finally a word to my successor, it is not an easy task to hold such a position. You will need a lot of support from your friends and seniors. I hope that you will take into account the mistakes that I have done this year and will try not to repeat them next year. Best wishes to all of you. Prateek Gupta

The year started with the worst work I did in my life, i.e 3rd year room-allotment. At that time We (HCM) came to know that apparently everyone has worked for the Hall..but, no one appreciated their work, atleast according to them!! Atlast it was over after we were able to SATISFY everyone, some way or the other.. Then came OP, inspite of the funny incidents inside the common-room or in the wings, The freashers events came up with many outstanding talents. I can proudly say, one of the best batches in Soc-cult had arrived. Illumination and Rangoli this year was the greatest achievement. Azad got a sweet taste of success with 600 rasgullas after so many years.. thanks to Piyush, the Menta Secys and all my batchies plus juniors. Special thanks to SKD,Pankaj,G Rahul,Ashish Gupta, Harihar, kaustubh. This would not have been possible without you guys!! We started our journey in GC quite well in the 1st sem, except for the fine-arts events, this semester things started getting wrong with no medal in English Drams and Choreo.. At that time I felt that people wil loose their tempo for the rest of the events, But I was wrong, We fought back with series of medals.But, unfortunately RK was way ahead.The best part of this years GC was ANDHA YUG Harihars last drama in Kgp, and it got what it deserved. This year Azad presented 5 different and Novel plays to the audiencewith one Gold,one silver and one bronze. Thanks to the Ent team for a good show in both the groups, one of them deserved a gold anydaybut, you know its KGP!! Free advice: For good performance in GC everyone should contribute whole heartedly without any hesitationor pranipatein pariprashnain saivyaa Thanks to my captains, advisors, and all Azadians for a wonderful year.. SARVOTTAM AZAD HUMARA!!!

This time 1st year and 2nd year batch showed a good amount of talent, keeping the future prospects of winning the GC great .We started off well in the open IIT events of Lawn Tennis and 5 km road race with 2 gold in lawn tennis and 3 of our participants finishing in the top 4(Gold, silver and 4th) in the road race. We finished off 5th in the first and the biggest event of the GC that is Athletics, winning 2 golds in 6 km road race and 5km run. A lot of fresh talent was discovered in the hall for the long race events. The high points of GC were the two golds in Cricket and Lawn Tennis. Fresher, Harish Vutla gave an amazing performance in Lawn Tennis (lost in only 2 games in the whole tournament). Brilliance from our passing out ex-captain Subodh Kumar and fresher Akshat Khandelwal led to a gold in Cricket after 2 years. Our chess team maintained its silver position. Our Football team made it to the semis after many years. Our aquatics team finished 4th going one position higher than the last year. All the Secretaries have assisted me very well. They really made my work easy. The seniors that are involved are also very supporting and they have given their hundred percent to the hall. We did not finish in the top 4 in some games but we will learn from our mistakes and take them as stepping stones for upcoming years. After all these highs and lows, we finshed 6th in the sports GC with great improvement being shown from last year. The future of Azad looks bright in the Sports GCs of the forthcoming years. Sachin Kumar General Secretary, sports and games

I feel honored to have held a post which was previously adorned by some of the great personalities. It was quite an eventful year. The hard work of the whole 2nd and 1st year batch during the Illumination paid off this time, clinching Bronze in both Illumination and Rangoli. The theme also received some accolades from outside. Talking of the Technology GC, it started a bit late this year. The first 2-3 months were marred by a series of Sub-Committee meetings for the discussion on the format of the event Product Design. We missed a medal in the event by just a mark. Hardware Modeling was on all-time high with a much expected Gold Medal. Also, it gained a lot of applause from the whole Institute. We have set a standard for ourselves this year and anything meager than this years product will not do next year. It was achievable only due to the selfless contribution and determined hard work of the teammates. The dedication shown by the team members and captains (Sahu and Srinivas) during the times of Hardware Exhibition cant be matched. I feel if we borrow this attitude in other events, I think there is no stopping us winning the medals. The performance in Quizzes was far better this time with a silver and bronze in Tech Quiz and Biz Quiz respectively. But we have big shoes (Atish, Mantu and Yagnesh) to fill in. These two medals along with a Gold Medal in Math Olympiad secured our Knowledge Cup. Unfortunately, we missed the GC this time. Nevertheless, we performed very well in some events like Chemical Innovation and Math Olympiad and I hope it'll get better next year. As expected, the 2nd year batch participated vigorously in all the events. I cant take any names as the list runs so long that it will eat up my whole page. They were always present when we needed them the most. I expect same level of tempo and effort from this batch in the next year. I would take this opportunity to thank my Captains and the Technology Secretaries (Som, Karn and Srivatsa) without whom we could not have gone this far. I am sorry for the times where I might not have performed up to my mark. Ultimately, what we need to do is to carry the strong Tech Culture forward which was once created by our seniors. I can't say whether we'll win the GC next year or not. But, this is for sure that we are going to put our best fight forward and make our mark. And keeping the tradition alive Yo!!Azad!! Abhishek Kumar General Secretary, Technology

It was a good year for Azad Hall of Residence. In terms of maintenance activities, significant improvements were seen in a lot of areas. The highlight of the year was the much coveted bronze positions in Illumination and Rangoli. All the 1st and 2nd years had put up a brilliant show. Right now Azad is in a position to create and continue a tradition of podium finishes in Illumination and Rangoli. I just hope I'm here when we win Gold. Apart from Illumination and Rangoli, the gardening activities of the Hall saw significant improvements. Although we did not win the gardening competition, we are improving. The Hall saw new constructions and an improved maintenance condition with significant support from the warden. The boundary wall, common room and the new parking lot were made to ease the lives of the increasing number of students. A lot of construction proposals have been approved by the HMC and are expected to be in place soon. At this point I want to thank my Secretaries without whom the success of the year would have not been possible. In the end I'd want to tell my juniors that allotment this year might not please everyone but their best interests will be taken into consideration. So guys, do not lose hope. Next year things will improve. Just have faith in yourself and in the Hall. YO AZAD! Piyush Khandelwal, General Secretary, Maintenance

Its usually early when we get up from bed, Its hardly an enviable path we tread, Buried in books for almost all of our time, One might wonder how we spared some for this rhyme But we sorely desired to speak our thoughts out loud, Our voices are so often lost in the crowd, People taunt us, calling us weird and absurd, Its no surprise that we are so seldom heard Therefore we resort to putting what we feel in print, And we dearly hope our readers take this hint, That there is no glory in attacking our traits, We are no less deserving than our other batch-mates Yes we may study more, much more than you, Could that not be because we like what we do? Or maybe our minds might not be that swift, So we work much harder to make up for that rift Many have engagements that keep them from books, Societies, GCs, laptops, and even grooming their looks, And thats fine by us, we have no gripe, Live and let live is our policy, no matter what type Yet when examinations happen to come around, Its in our room that most people can be found, And usually they must seek assistance from us, Of our so-called eccentricities they then make no fuss After the results come out, for some its hell, And as for us its now our fault that we did well, While everyone seems to conveniently forget, It was because of us that at least some standards were met And so this vicious cycle does resume, Eagerly waiting for another batch to consume, Oblivious are the people to the writing on the wall, Students are less and less likely to work hard at all We shall not say much more; we are soft of tongue, It is our hope that in your minds, a bell has been rung, That diligence is no grounds for the brickbat,

We came here to study; whats so wrong with that? With regard to those out there, we have one last say, We do not pass judgment, so why do they?

-Shushman Choudhury

(The last stanza is inspired by The meeting place by the 13th century Persian poet, Rumi) Deluded, as usual, I wake up. To yet another mockery of a day. Still dazed by the dream? Im not too sure. Cause lately, dreams have been misleading. Eyes, sometimes sore, At times staring into the sun, And hands, sometimes pleading. For its not too late and it never will be. The rustle of dead leaves, sweat on your brow. Lifeless breeze and a drop of tear. A callous soul, a shrouded heart. For it is love, that it does fear. Looking at scars. Dismissing the notions of pain, and yearning. Oblivious of anything around, Wondering if it hurts anymore. It mustve been a tough call, I agree. Between what was convenient, And what fair. Out there somewhere, there is a field. Beyond conscience. Above wrong-doing and right-doing. I shall meet you there.

-Apoorv Raj

This is the most common category of professors. They are found everywhere irrespective of department, batch or place. They end the class on the same note on which they began and the students are also left on the same note. They are usually accompanied by power point presentations to help them keep up the monotonicity. This is another very common category called the excited proffs. They teach their subjects as if it is the only relevant subject in the world. They disregard petty things such as pronunciation and one can know that a question has been asked when this professor suddenly stops and looks towards the class with expectation. This proff usually likes the green board as using slides hinders his excited hopping. This is the most dangerous category. They start their class on a very high note but soon fall to zero and then lower (YES, it IS possible). By the end of the hour, you can find devils waiting outside the classroom doors to drag the bodies away.

This yis ya quirious category which believes that the yinglish yalphabed starts with ye for yapple. These come to class and divide yem by yen or classify the different yentramolecular reactions. These can be identified (and hence avoided) by the sight yof ye small moustache yand ye small saffron dot yon their foreheads. Though the teaching varies, but the yaccent yis yextremely yattractive/repulsive to two different kinds yof people who can be differenciated by ye long row yof vacant seats. This is another dangerous category and can be identified by the lack of black hair (or lack of hair altogether). They have taught the same subject so many times that they do not feel the need of the subject to be taught to more batches. Moreover, they have a strong affinity towards the DRGN bomb which ensures that they always find enough students in the class to torment. The last but a usual category are called the gibberish proffs. Neither the students nor they give much heed to what is going on in the class till SOMETHING is going on. Activities of a very large domain happen in these classes. They can be found in remote tutorials, first year classes and all labs.

Feeling home sick I was really sad, Everything changed by a superb event I had, Azads fame, khoj is its name, It was held in my campus after a month I came, Clues will be given with a curious logic, To move on we need to break their magic, With a girl in it, We should form a team of five, In kgp pretty ones are a rare hit, No matter how hard you strive, Somehow with a good team I got registered, With tempo on, under moon light we started, Like cowboys on our cycles we hunted for treasure, It was adventures, with an exciting pleasure, Checking our safety, we had azads seniors, After all we are their dear juniors,

We explored every spot of our legendary campus, With tiny sheet of secrets given to us,

Within time I did not reach the end, So what I made friends with a thrilling weekend In the climax they distributed the prizes Coupons-shirts and goodies of great sizes, Really to say, I had an awesome wonderful day, For this I thank Azad in each and every way, - A.Venugopal Naik.

What I need was to touch that farthest corner. I stood on the other side Watching my destiny straight It was beautiful. I can see it, it seems so close One day I'll make it, I had thought often I have waited enough, I had it in me, today must be the day I started slow and went with the flow My determination was strong That was all I remember then After the force started to reach my chest I felt something hard pushing me back I was strong as a stone, never turned back Never see the way passed Always awaiting the future to come After a few milestones the water was above my head And the pressure, unbearable Moved fast and hard enough, to go through But couldn't.... I tried, I fumbled, and I started again But nothing helped for I was glued to the same place till the end I just left myself thinking for a while and Suddenly was engulfed by something huge I thought it might be shark or whale, I started panicking But none come to rescue for I was drowning I was engulfed by the wrath of the sea I started again but no further I could see. I stopped breathing tried to float But the waves just didn't want me go They became huge, more fierce and frightful, I closed my eyes. Prayed to the Lord watching through the skies... With every drop of water on me I feel that burden Burden of all un-success in life... I didn't try that hard for survival even, because if I can't reach that, I didn't wanna go back Instead I took this thing into me "The sea which was my destiny was the end of me" Everything remain calm for a moment I feel relieved, I thought I was saved But unfortunately, I was still at the same place A huge tide came I shouted out loud, but it just passed crossing me I can see something I had that bright smile on my face It was a body floating, I tried to go further

It was so easy now, I glided like a fish I moved further and closer To see the floating thing, was me For a moment i remained stunned It was me, as in me myself I was frightened for a few, I shouted again ran towards the shore I tried to communicate but none could listen As if the entire world has gone deaf and I am the only speaker I remain calm for a while, thought for several hours Then for several days For years now Though I disappeared like a tiny drop in the ocean My corpse still reached my destination Everybody tries-everybody lies Now when I start that, I have nothing in my mind I am completely blank for what I'll write What is it ,that haven't been said What is it that haven't been adhered to Which emotions have not been given a word And which words remain unmeaninged Between these set of unanswerable doubts Lies the biggest lie and it's whereabouts My mind writes a thousand stories It cultivates the very creation as well the end My eyes see a thousand words From the unsorted letters And still I am speechless So many choices to make when options are less So many souls to touch when people are so messed So many wishes unfulfilled when paths are straight And still I am content Poor can't feed his crying child Rich doesn't even has time for his child The time when he craves of maternal than material, no one's there to fill that void How can you expect closure from him, when he stands on your death bed side And still I got heart Weak is paralyzed from head to toe Strong just being criticized after he takes a false vow

Creator is condemned for his Worldly deeds Demolishers being worshiped when he kills for needs And still I believe Nothing is what was meant to be, dreams from the past still are Dreams of present And still I Dream The mob has seen it all Shelley,Wordsworth,Keats have gone When I know I am nowhere near, nothing close Still I try I am no-one I am you, You just try With absolute zero hope,you tries harder And you just try not stop, until You could do something in life That thy couldn't stop the tiny drop from thy eye -Akshay Tuteja

When I started walking down the stairs today morning, I noticed something strange. The stairs seemed to go up! But people say that I was going down. Crazy they are, arent they? Now, if I was working in Ferrari, I would have bought Lamborghini and asked its CEO to mow my lawns. But the grease oils that we use in gears are really friction-reducing. They at least slip more than the apples that fell on Newton once upon a time when he discovered the now well known, gravitational phenomenon! So the owner of Honda suggested his scientists to build a bike that could run on water and thus Virat Kohli could get some more runs on the board when he is playing against the English! The striking feature of such a game is that people buy a lot of newspapers, and read articles on the Large Hadron Collider. And hence The Times of India is now thinking to collaborate with Castle Liquor. Well, the word collaboration sounds a bit awkward here, because when we run at our peak speed, we tend to get tired! What good is a pizza without cheese? So they decided to put eggs in the popular South Indian dish called Dosa. Some people are well aware of the fact that if they kill fish, they will start eating stones. Stones are definitely not a good source of diet for camels, and they prefer to live on whiskey rather than rum. I talked to a few villagers of the Zulu community and discovered that they have a good taste of broken circuit boards. They fry them in coconut oil and feed it to their cattle. But how do the plants in the hilly region survive then? Just a 6-inch Sub from Subway (Eat Fresh!) is not enough for them of course, so the government of India has decided to pour Gatorade over the Shivalik Hills. All of this has now leaded to Global Warming. The sudden heating up of atmosphere is causing Microsoft big troubles. Google is not able to lead the market because of the sole reason that ITCs food products sell more than any other brand in India. Not ignoring the fact that you will drop dead if you inhale a lot of Ozone gas, we have thus concluded in numerous aspects that Yoga, if done early in the morning, will dramatically improve the health of cows. Although we have also kept in mind that Earth is not exactly a sphere, but an oblate spheroid, still we need citations on how to sell a product effectively in the market, when we know that consumers are least interested in buying it. Before we started to sum everything up, we came across a very interesting process, known as photosynthesis. It was proven in 1675 that monkeys used to photosynthesize in the presence of lemon juice to produce 6 hamburgers every hour! This was a turning point of all my research, because now Eclairs is creamier than before! I badly wanted to show everyone that even an ant can swim, but then all of a sudden I heard that Steve Jobs died of cancer. What could be worse than a rotten apple! I couldnt bite another piece of biscuit after knowing that! Life always finds a way, and there is nothing on Earth which could be barred away from evolution. Similarly, our minds are also evolving, and we must let it flow. We must let our thoughts flow. I let my thoughts flow this way (you read whatever is written above, didnt you?), how do you?

Many of us wonder why our life isnt perfect. Why something has to go wrong anyway? And if something has to go wrong, why is it always us? Actually, we follow certain protocols, and the scheme made by our heavenly father is based on some rules and regulations. Lets just say we are never in a state to guess what will happen next, because whatever happens will surely NOT be of our best interest. When there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one thatll cause the maximum damage goes wrong first and the chaos takes place at a time we least expect! We coin the phrase Be positive so often but our errands dont seem to be going in the positive direction. There always is at least one job that always follows a negative path. After all its all about energy conservation! Too much of a positive flow needs to be balanced by a negative element. And ridiculously, the work that gets screwed is co-incidentally the most important work always! Sometimes it might happen that we feel all our tasks are going smoothly, and life cant be better! But, (theres always a but) we obviously might have overlooked something! And its usually the key point, which is the prime seed of destruction of the happening of all the other tasks. And we tend not to find it until it gets in position to ruin the rest of the lot. Nature always sides with hidden flaws, and we fight and strive to support campaigns that save nature, eh? If what I said above holds, and still we are not able to find that one small error, it might not be present as such! What could be more pleasing! And yes, we are actually walking into an ambush here! In the old days during the Vietnam War, the Vietcong used to set up booby traps for the Americans, who are obsessed with their perfectionist theories, and believe they can always win a war. These guys finally end up blowing themselves up singing, Over the land of the free and the home of the brave! Had all the builders built their building the way programmers code their programs, then surely the first woodpecker that came along would have destroyed an entire civilization! No offence intended to poor coders, but its all about more the amount of brains we have, the more we tend to jumble things up. We never run out of things that can go wrong. Thus we try to be so logical, you know! We always come to the wrong conclusion very confidently and systematically. When things are left their way, they tend to get from bad to worse. Entropy it is! We plan to keep our books nice and tidy all along, but all that happens is, there is always a layer of dust on them, however clean they are expected to be. Finally, we have a category of people who call themselves experts! And they really are, as they know more and more about less and less and final end up knowing everything about nothing and damaging things which would have remained unharmed otherwise. Its an interesting fact to note that when it comes to damaging things, things always get destroyed in direct proportion to their value, and the chance that we are the culprit also varies in the same proportion! We have often thought about the small fact that it is always us who are spanked at home for breaking Mums favorite and most expensive vase! Overall, we find that there is nothing called an absolutely flawless and state-of-the-art possibility of a "perfect" thing. If things can go bad, they will go worse, until they end up being the worst possible. And this in short is known as "Murphys Law". And people who consider that rules are meant to be broken, they actually follow Murphys Law most sincerely. -Aurko Chatterjee

He was pale, tall and looked particularly weird in his skinny suit. The sleeves barely reached his wrist and his bow-tie stuck out at an awkward angle over his white collar. His eyes were hollow, separated by a sharp, pointy nose that perked out over his dull, smooth face. However all his actions had a hypnotic touch of elegance and skill the way he greeted his rare customer, the way he shuffled the cards and particularly the way he silently spoke. I had been to village-carnivals before but they never amused me maybe because the shows always lacked professionalism and the acts always lacked creativity. Finding a few spare coins, that I had saved, in my pocket and having no plans for the noon, I walked up to this queer fellow and enquired, Bad day for your magic business eh? He turned his dreamy gaze towards me and in one swift motion spread out his cards facedown and continued to stare blindly at me. With a perplexed gesture I asked, You want me to select a card? In reply he pointed first at me and then towards the cards with his long and twig-like finger. I guessed he was a mute and was trying to earn a fair living. Not wanting to make him feel uncomfortable, I quickly reached into the spread and pulled out a card Ace of Spades. As I looked back at him, I found him trying to hide a smile. Then suddenly he threw the remaining cards up into the air and his lips for the first time betrayed a smirk. As the cards landed on the soft ground, it became evident that they were all blanks. I was holding the only card in the entire deck that had a face. Nice trick, I said and reached into my pocket and brought out a few coins. Ignoring the coins, he starred into my eyes and said with heavy but clear voice, So you would think The night was cold and its been drizzling since morning. At such times one loathes being single cold, lonely and frustrated. I grabbed the evening newspaper and sank into a La-Z-Boy, extending my cold legs as close to the fireplace as possible. The last page of the paper always bore astrologic predictions and advices which stopped appealing to me since the day I moved into this big city and realized that life is what you make of it. But I still often missed my village the green meadows, the herds of sheep, the queues at the waterline, the seasonal carnivals. All of a sudden these small bubbles of memory, growing as it rises through layers of misty memory, burst at the surface with a loud pop Ace of Spades. I remembered having kept the card as a souvenir from my life in the village - a life that is now just a lowly dot on the upward sloped bee-line that my life has taken. I got up from my cozy chair, pulled out my trunk which stored all my memorabilia and drew out the card the familiar shiny blue-backed design bearing the smell of village free spirit. However to my surprise the face of the card had changed it was no longer an ace of spades but an ace of hearts. As I stood bemused wondering over the possibility of having misplaced the original card, the doorbell rang. Still in a state of confusion, I walked through the corridor and opened the door to find a beautiful lady. Hello, I am Maggie. My car broke down and I was wandering if you could help. Its been years since Jim passed away but I must admit that I havent moved on. I still remember the extraordinary circumstances that brought us two together for the first time on a cold and wet night under the hood of my run down car. Though he is now gone, my memories of him are still fresh and soft. There are days when I cry myself to sleep sifting through his little trunk that somehow captured his entire life-story his first hand crafted toy, his fathers watch, a discoloured locket and for some reason a shiny blue-backed blank card. -Aniruddha Dey

That day, the sun set for me, and darkness covered me. As I walked through the road of life, I knew life is now nothing more but strife. But then I saw, I wasnt alone, there were birds like me, who had been blown. To our old lives, we had bid adieu, we huddled, we perched and we flew. The merrymaking, the fun, and the drinking of that special dew ;-) It was all so beautiful, just because of all of you. That was the time I knew, this flock and tree were my home anew. And together we faced all storms which made all of us reform. with this heightened sense of kinship, I thought nothing could make us chip. The time we spent along, were like the ripples of a lovely song. Then came the time of dawn, and with it the realization, we were all but lifes pawn. It brought the end of our trip, our time as group was over, thats it. The memories that I had will always ring a joyful bell. But one of the saddest thing to do today, is to bid you all farewell. Now comes the time when flowers lose petals, as others have to take their place and bloom. Now is the time when the grass must be cut, as the mist must lift soon. There was a time when I stood before you, you were a person I barely knew. This time I cry for you all whom I love, and this is my affection that I couldnt help but show. Goodbye KGP, goodbye my friends, a place I saw from distance afar. Seeing you all leave, will make my heart deeply scarred. Now is the time when our roads must slowly part, and more come together. Now is the time when these birds fly away, leaving last thoughts in a falling feather. As the sun, in its morning splendor, dispells the dark gloom of night, I welcome its bright rays yonder

over the tree-top, and wood, and dell. Yet, my joy is alloyed with sorrow, as I bid the bright stars Farewell. I wish you all farewell, to new and better things. No matter how far life takes us, dont forget to give me a ring ;-) Reach for what you want, and you will fly into the sky. So, now I submit you farewell before I actually cry. -Aabhas Srivastava

Fond of animal bhajans , fantasizes about his bandi getting group f*cked by dogs and pigs. mann se nek hai, Hum sab bhartiya ek hai bas feel anek hai Arka Prabha Roy Mathematician extraordinaire .turned down a day 1 offer in Opera Solutions but he is too bong to do a cushy corporate job (good for research community of course) and as per the wing tradition he is finally going to CMU for a PhD in Computational Mechanics with his longtime girlfriend (read AWESOME relationship) but he should do have opted for a PhD in mathematics and not mechanical engineering, calls himself engineer in India and scientist overseas. Thinks himself the Jose Mourinho of our football team and is rightly so as he spends more time on the bench than on the field (:P). He does have a good shot though. We could never figure out if he was part of BTDS or was a spot boy for their campus productions, would always say ha main aur

mera bandi ja rha hai BTDS treat/production/blah blah. He had an amazing Hindi before coming to KGP and thought chehra & badan meant the same thing. He is always busy stalking girls on Facebook/cooking up wild imaginations when he is not studying or doing his Applied Biophysics research, follows Cricinfo and soccernet all day long and irritates the junta by posting those articles on Facebook. We are sure that he would make a great scientist (engineer in India) and keep those extraordinary calculations and equations coming for nano-micro channels etc. blah blah . PS - He enjoys lucchi sabji in the dusky/smoky ambience of Bhaski with rickshahwallas more than he enjoys high quality meals with his girlfriend (:P) Abhimanyu Lahiri Gifted footballer, splendid quizzing sense, peace maaru bakchod, has a nice bihari accent (too hard to believe he is a bong) etc. etc all of which would mean that he is too cool to be an OIL/EARTH guy well he is too sharp to be a geologist(:P) with his awesome quant skills (well CS might have been good) and too lazy to have a girlfriend in fact he dozes off to sleep with Sunny Leone pondy running in his laptop but has had his share of fun with awesome looking display pics of girls added in his Facebook account. His room is replete with the unconceived Y chromosomes which one can find anywhere from his bed sheet to his laptop ,definitely a female would risk getting pregnant if she were to come to his room. He does not need to take bath to keep cleanhe rubs himself all day along against any damn thing to keep the dirt off him. Has made the half pant his national attire and can be found anywhere in his shorts. Amongst many other good things about him - He can talk/give funda/discuss about any damn sport or game. PS As our beloved Mayank Singh would say abey lahiri bong hai aur bong logo ko gaaliyaata hai so you can speak against/tear down anything communistic Bengali in front of him and in fact he would help you do that. Soumyakant rout A gentle giant. On one hand he never gets tired of narrating his epic story as to how he survived a chase by Maoists (he asserts that all of them had guns in BOTH their hands!!!) despite them being in a sumo and our beloved Raut on a bike; and on the other he cries a bucket full of tears after watching Rockstar, the movie. He knows CIA inside out but does not know the name of RAWs director. His favorite dreams are those in which he plays a CIA agent. But 5 minutes with the guy and he wins your heart with his candor and theories about everything (totally obsessed with aliens and conspiracy theories). Less than 12 hours of sleep in a day makes him go numb. A gem at heart, will be loved by all wherever he goes and missed forever by people who knew him. But beware, any reference about his size or gait and he challenges you to a wrestling contest while bragging about his weightlifting days. (talking to him about his love life is a strict noo noo).

Tapesh Tere ko pata hai ki tu kitna bada chut*** ha?? This is the first sentence that comes out of his mouth everytime anyone talks to him. The only non ghasi JEE guy who dared to enter VGSOM. This VGSOM churned manager has plans to pursue higher studies in aerospace engineering after a few years of work experience at Bank of India (only he knows how it makes sense!! ). He hates movies(except matrix) because none of them make sense to him. His first reaction after watching LOTR trilogy was sab ke sab chutiye the, Gandalf sabse bada chutiya tha and spent an hour explaining how the ring could have been destroyed in 10 minutes. He always talks about how loaded his life is but still finds time to play poker for hours daily and criticize movies after watching them. A super fun guy to be with and despite his size is hard to miss. Whatever he ends up doing, he will always cheer people up around him with his witty bakar. We wish him all the best for his endeavors in life. Harsh Kumar The DC god. If there is any movie/tv series/ pondy that this guy has not watched then it must not be on DC. His love for movies is so great that after watching a movie rated 3/10 on imdb, he logs in through his multiple accounts and gives it a 10/10 as many times as his wildly agile mind lets him. After watching so much stuff he has truly started believing that Leonardo da vinci was tutored by aliens among other crazy things. He aims to be a billionaire in the next 5 years and he wakes up everyday with a new idea for his startup (his most legendary ideas include a social networking site for dead people !!). An extremely funny guy who never gets tired of talking about the size of his manhood. Life in kgp would have been incomplete without him. A fun loving guy who will always be the joker in the pack. Amal Kant If degrees provided by IITKgp were to be audited, and this guy is interviewed, be sure that institutes credit will be discredited. After spending 5 years in Ghassi dept. this guy doesnt know the difference between Raw rice and Boiled rice. Calls himself dude and no matter what discussion is going on, will apply SpaceTime continuum theory and if you ask to explain.. It too complicated. Well dude do you think it talks about your relationship with your GF. Guy managed to keep secret about his bike till 4th year but not about his GF. Well, we can see your priority. Although he spends tens of thousands on GF but if asked for treat, Are yaar paise hi nahi hai account mein. Famous for not having a facebook account till his 5th year in the institute and being thrown out of Ghaassi lab, because he plucked a banana from the tree (Dont know what prompted him to so, if he were a girl, it would be making some sense), this guy has great enthusiasm in finance, cleared every possible tests (CFA, FRM (level 1&2), GRE, CAT) and got placed after very first interview he got with profile of his interest, which most of the IITians fails to do so. He undoubtedly will succeed in any

field, he chooses. A great fan of Korean movies and really a good friend to be with. Daaru pi ke senti ho jaata hai and sometimes he can take few things by heart if you are ignorant. Wish him a great success which is very much inevitable. Ashish Gupta "Hum yehich karenge hum yehich bol rhe hai (some unknown chambal valley accent)" Angry young man, officially wing ka 'bakchoda'.....extremely temperamental but is one of the most straight forward, uncunning and nice at heart guy. He has had a colourful & eventful life in KGP some with the traditions of KGP (happa ,'GOLDEN secy etc. etc.). Somehow people always find a 'macho gay' shade in him...and has been approached by certain such people :P and has also acted a famous gay people conversation with Nigib Sharma. Him and Harsh Kumar make for a great team and come up with awesome B plans and they even had some funny ones should his placement did not turn out as expected but he had a much too strong profile for that happen so he is finally going to be the a consultant and it would be interesting how he handles his boss and ever complaining clients with his temperament. If you look beyond his angry young man image, youll find a really sensitive and friendly guy which will be there for you even if everyone else is not. We wish him best of luck for bright future but more importantly, best wishes for getting a compatible GF. Ashutosh Kumar Thakur The veteran prankster.He has pulled some epic pranks and made a bakra out of most of us using his amazing powers of persuasion and convincing acting.Although, he did get a taste of his own medicine on more than one occasion(:D). Has a penchant for music of all kinds especially Bhojpuri and bakchod songs. Sure knows how to dance - used his moves on a few gals during SF with varying degrees of success (:P).A fun-loving guy(iske saath akele ho ya group me,maza guaranteed hai). Emotional at heart, although he projects himself as practical and strong.The perfect guy to have a heart-to-heart discussion with(a lot can indeed happen over coffee ;)). E-commerce ka pioneer,isne E-bay walo ko gazab ka choona lagaya hai. Amul Macho se lekar Haldiram ki Bhujiya tak,he has bought them all (and still counting).Quite tech-savvy,has a lot of random funda and can help you with most of your techrelated dilemmas. Tried his hand at athletics,dramatics and elocution. Despite a lot of peace maarna, grabbed a huha job at Cisco. Uske bad double peace maake realized his long cherished dream of putting on some weight in final semester.You Rock buddy !! We are surely gonna miss you... Anshul Paliwal: If you really want to know what does a split personality means then you should live with this guy. Personality 1: kuch bhi karlo main apne compu, bridge ya sona nhi chhor sakta.. bhag-yaha-se-i-dont-care type attitude. Personality 2: The sweetheart of everyone. Will do whatever craziest thing you say. Will always try to sing old songs in group and force everyone to sing and get involved. This guy has to sit in someone else's room after lunch or dinner and tell the room owner to show him some interesting things

on compu with typical Akbar type pose and "pesh kiya jaye" type attitude. Bandi nahi hone ka afsos duniya me is se jyada kisiko nhi hai. Iski baaton se to lagta hai ki jis din--jis din ise bandi mili us din pata nhi us bandi ke sath kya kya hoga :D kisi bandi ki bat sunkar jo iske chehre me sharmili si muskan ati hai wo imagine karna bhi muskil hai.. Has so much sex gyan that he can write a new volume of Kamsutra. He is among those friends who never forget u even after years. Never seen such a straight person (in both sense- straight forward person as well as straight sexual orientation :D) So straight that he cannot bear the touch of a man anywhere on his body. A guy with full confidence on whatever he says and talks with no other hidden intentions. An awesome guy to hang out with, A guy with awesome sports spirit, An ultimate bridge player player who can even kill his wife if she doesn't allow him to play bridge, A total peacemaru banda who managed to get a good job even after so much peace. We will always miss you buddy ! Vishal Kr Bhimrajka: Yaaron ka yaar,dildaar - Vishal Kumar...a truly amazing person who has taken friendship to a whole new level.This "Patna ke laika" has a special talent of being an innovative abuser, even the most hardened listeners may wince when they hear his choicest swearwords. He's on intermittent fitness streaks.Very conscious of his physique and looks,even Chikni Chameli will be envious of his painstakingly waxed body. Easily influenced by others' opinions - his taste in music,movies, sports etc or even behavior varies depending on who's asking and who is standing in front of him. HIs overacting after drinking is fabulous. Giving arbit funda or comments is the best quality he has. We are pretty sure he will be the biggest 'Joru ka Ghulaam'. Apart from being a bakchod guy he has a temporary sento mode as well. He wins your heart and gives or receives serious advice. Made up his mind for almost all possible careers including core, civil services, research, finance, MBA, CFA. On every career decision he looks very confident and convinced that this was something he always wanted to do and then.....a wind blows and that career decision is changed after a few months..and the loop continues. Nobody can beat him with the capability of studying at the last moment and beating all the maggus.. Managed good CG and awesome job ! Hamesha yad karenge dost tumhe ! Muvva Nithin: Muvva Smarty (aka. BP ), the G specialist. Ask him for doing anything, the only answer you'll get "koi load nhi hai"..so he is the ultimate peace guy till you don't talk about acads. In acads or placement related talks he always used to say "abe bahaut load hai yarrrrrrrr".. His extra curricular activities include preparing dishes using "G", watching all type of Gult movies and giving shoulder massage to people who are talking to him You always find him watching a Gult movie along with some xerox in other hand. Even if you don't ask he explains the story of that movie in his "hatke" hindi with a lot of "abe yar" in it. He has never admired a girl throughout his life. kisiki aankh thik nhi kisiki nak thik nhi koi moti hai etc etc. Even after all these he complains why he doesn't have a girlfriend . Everyday at 12:00 PM he decides to go on a dieting and refuses his friends at 12:30 to go to mess. At around 1:30 when the mess food is almost over, he feels like eating. Finally he has to go to general stores for eating some craps. This 1.5 hour dieting session goes almost everyday. Taking so much load in acads has finally landed him into one of the best jobs. Machaya hai banda bilkul by being the only one student selected in ANZ.

G. Rahul The most peace guy you will ever come across.Its very difficult to provoke him or get him involved in a heated discussion.He always makes non-committal statements like "sochenge","dekhnege","kya load hai" and the trademark shoulder shrug "i don't know".His sex drive is a matter of debate.At first,he was thought of as gay due to his lack of interest in girls but now he has been accepted unanimously as an asexual person who will only indulge in such activities for the sake of reproduction and so that he can pass on his superior genes.He has been bitten by the "texting" bug and annoyingly keeps typing when you trying to talk to him.Did remarkable work as G.Sec Maintenance and Open Soft Captain.All in all,a sincere and warm-hearted guy. Sadhu Ravichandra: DJ sadhu: (Mamaaaaa.... Hey Bhai...... ) A R Rehman ka die hard fan. Dc ka puura gult aur tamil song collection maintain karta hai.

Very cool person, his pony tail for two years rose him to an instant fame, earning him an impeccable reputation in insti (one of his prof calls him bjon borg, and girls feared him for that). Greatest contribution of pondy in LAN, lappy is full of bhajan. Huha fan of AVY SCOTT.Though he is a G SEC MESS, and eats a lot but on her name he looses . For entire 5 yrs he had 4 notebooks, 5th yr classes with out copy.His room is full of entropy His personality is so charismatic that lady professors save his puny ass during grand vivas :P Went to gym for the whole fourth year, alas ! couldnt put weight. Talks at length about anything ("tum topic to bolo"), from ganza to LSD, Pure knows all !! Loves Niggas (can relate himself to them somehow) songs. He gets exponentially cool when drunk , had a hard time once bringing him back to hall . Discovered a mineral called "Purunium", proving that he is good with stones as well :P. Wish you an awesome life ahead in life man, I know you will make everyone proud :D, and remain this cool forever !

But that does not define Atish BarCap Bhattacharya. There are very few electronic gadgets or cars that this MEGA-GEEK does not have a detailed knowledge about. As a matter of fact, there are very few things in the world that he doesnt know about. A very dedicated servant to his DSLR and a very competitive and serious player of the spades team of this wing and 29 mein kabhi kabhi makhane waale ye adbhut praani, C2H5OH ke koi bhi plan mein humesha sab se aage paaye jaate hain and becomes the central attraction of the show after a quarter or so. To summarize, here lived a caring and helpful GAWD, who owned almost every super overpriced gadgets ever known to mankind. Prateek Gupta a.k.a. Gupto Da a.k.a. Happi a.k.a. Mrs. Tiwari a.k.a. S.S.M.'Sautan Sumeet Mavani ki'The S.S.M. (Sexy She-Male) of Azad Hall. What do you think she painted her door 'red' for? This Miss Azad 2009 finalist prides herself in serving(?) the hall and the Hall President. Inept in all JOBS assigned to her! Did someone notice the marriage tent beside the old mess? Chhotta Tiwari is

expected to arrive anytime! The Farts Goddess, the Bong Choreo Studni, the Opensoft enthusiast, the Paper Panelling Head. But that's not all. This lady has a geeky side to her as well. Enter her room and you'll find a thousand SOFT-wares, a million e-books (read e-boobs) and a billion 'HARD' Dicks(Oh! Disks). Obviously, a big fan of Justin Beiber, Rihanna, Rebecca Black, Beyonce and HD bhajans, which she tunes into her Altec Speakers and Widescreen LCD. Extremely slow and lethargic, known for her prolonged bath and make-up regimes. Commonly spotted with a comb in the bathroom before going to mess, which she justifies by saying "Sajna hai mujhe mess workers ke liye". Such a big fan of cosmetics that she was gifted a perfume(of course, ladies!) on her first birthday in the hall. She even used it for an year before discovering its gender specificity. Takes an hour to unlock her cycle. You might as well miss out on your exam if you're relying upon her for a lift. Fell in love with MAN-vita at first sight. Frequent relationship status changes on facebook are a reflection of her torrid love life involving Tiwari and MAN-vita. Despite all this, one of the most wonderful human beings that you will ever meet. Always ready to help, very dedicated, sincere, sacrificing and considerate. Studapa is evident from the fact that he scored a Nehli in his SSM election semester (Must be the first ever to do that!). We wish you luck in life and may you get the most sensuous doodhwali in Pipavav, Gujarat. Harihar Sourabh Mohan aka 'Harihar' aka 'Saurav' aka 'Harry'aka 'GAWD' Imagine the most devilish laughter you have ever heard, then the most innocent guy you have ever known, the most dedicated performer you will ever come across, and the most motherly drams gawd you may be lucky enough to have encountered. Put them alltogether, a cup of poetic dexterity, a teaspoon of sarcasm, a pinch of newly found innuendosand double entendre and there you have it - The 'GAWD' Himself. This dude is no mere individual; he is an institution in himself. A pool of talent so vast that mere drops of tributes will always fall short to surmount the sheer excellence that the institution represents. So,leave out tributes and lets find the other side of this multifaceted personality. Don't get itwrong, his poetry in Hindi, English, and Marathi paint pictures of abstractions so wild and infuriating, it leads to ,the reader being baffled by the sheer genius of articulation, yet at the same time misleading him to conform the idea of the poet as a man of words. He is in love with words all right, but Harihar has always been a man of action. Evident not just from the mountain of achievements that he stands upon, but also from the individual and personal accomplishments in the field of Applied Poetry (Read Romance). Where the gentleman stands apart is the luck factor which inevitably brings the other parts of the stories at his bay, whether it is during internships in foreign lands, sharing of lacklustre Indian Railway seats or eventually the placement in the same firm. Somehow the arrows shot by cupid have hit gentleman at right times with luck, hopefully they will translate in something more grand just as the 'GAWD' would want. The other most important action has been to learn to reconcile with the basic limitations of male sexuality, if you can't have it in real time at least learn to use the video lectures, and that is exactly what the gentleman learnt when he resettled himself into a singular existence in his third year. He was forced to take the highway of 'bhajans' , perhaps because of the very painful separation with his loving co-recipient of the Azad Hall 'Dostana' award 2010, Prayush Sinha. Repelled by Daaru treats, the 'GAWD' enjoys drunks more than drinking, their

drunken assertions and statements make for a showcase of the legendary devilish laugher, and thus the entertainment of the 'GAWD', who is also the most sober drunk you will ever come across. He is one of his kinds in Kharagpur! Extremely talented, optimally confident and something more than the extra-ordinary. Must be the most grounded champion you will ever come across. Dramatics, elocutions, debates, dumb charades, water polo, product design and what not! And mind you, he is brilliant in each one of them. Was awarded the coveted Alumni Cup for these achievements. One cannot imagine Azad halls participation in Soc- Cult GC without him. Despite all this, he has a cgpa of 8.75 with a minor in Mechanical Engineering (Oh My God!!). Loves reading books and photography. To summarize - a very good actor, an exceptional director, an inspirational leader, a wonderful orator, a captivating poet and above all... a great person. We wish you all luck in life. May you live the life you have always dreamt of! (Sorry! But no one can resist paying tributes to the 'GAWD') Pratyush Sinha a.k.a. Pratsy a.k.a Tharki Da a.k.a. Juice ,(juice ka choos) Known for his dostana with Harry. Was awarded the Coveted Dostana award in his second year for their year-round achievements. He is one of the persons to bring about a change in IITKGP (Aarambh) . The bandi-magnet of Azad hall. His department has given him much more than just friends, you see. He's known for playing the Bansi much too often, with which (whom) he has maintained a 'long' relationship, although his other love, Kolkata, keeps coming in the way. With his growing love for mishti, Maa Durga and peacemaarofying, he is already qualified to be a true Bong. Also can be seen roaming in the woods of kgp with Chuhi, who at some point of time wanted to choos the juice of our handsome juice. He's the most organized person in the hall. Rather, he thinks he has OCD, and an OCD of such nature that he is obsessive about the OCD itself. Hes a die-hard cricket fan. Continuing the legacy of his Papa Dipanjan, a Cricinfo tab is always open in his Chrome. However, we have not yet figured out whether his love for Sehwag is more than his hatred for 'the B**ch'. Also a facebook fanatic. His funda about Facebook is unparalleled. Rather, we have news that Mark Zuckerberg consults with him often. Otherwise, how do you think features like Poke get introduced? Was desperate to get his relationship status changed on facebook, so he started changing the relationship status of his wingies. Unfortunately his relationship status didnt change but his sex changed from male to female on facebook since then he stopped looking for a relationship. He has a special liking for sheets (blank papers, we mean) or sheets that are blank on one side. So, if you see posters vanishing from the notice boards/walls etc., you know where to look for them. He's the king of criticisms, witticisms and sarcasms. Did anyone read the stick-ons on the walls of the DFirst Bathroom?

His motto of life is "Live Life . Laugh Lots . Love Forever". Was an exceptional tech secy under our famous DD da. Winner of the 'Best Secy' award. A pioneer of his Dep Fest. Finally achieved his most desired (?) 'atthi'. We hope that other 'desires' will get fulfilled in Bangalore. We wish him success in all his future endeavors at Wipro and hope that he fulfills his wish to write a p**n comic magazine/novel which becomes the best seller. Deepak Sirwani :W.C.Fields once said "If you cannot baffle them with your brilliance, dazzle them with the bull(*shit*)." That is where Sirwani is an exception, he is a bull all right but a brilliant one. As well as his fundae baffle you his brute force dazzles you. From proposing to excite fachas in the insti about khoj by mixing pretentious second year Azadians with them,to boycotting of the holy communion of the reluctant second years,to proposing to beat the shit out of almost anyone who is mean, Sirwani has done it all. His questions in the classes, as elementary and as stupid as they may sound, makes even the most bright and maggus realize their ignorance and at times tear down the cloak of engineering knowledge that our professors, so proudly put on. He has over the years been in some really wild situations, if you know what I mean. And has inevitably learnt a life lesson out of all of them, at least, most of us have been made to believe so. On the eve of his departure from the place he so lovingly cherishes(even though one might say there are enough reasons for him to return as often as possible), there is much to reminisce about. His tempo-laden hall love in the third semester and other loves("love you" to be specific) that were particularly short-lived, the attempt to throw the maggus out of their leagues in the fourth semester, his *Dedication* to make a difference in the HTDS in the fifth, then his *Dedication* to make a difference in a subset of the HTDS in the sixth, great dedication for the CAT, the placement season and the smallest possible multi-membered subset of the HTDS in the seventh, and finally the fruits of past three semesters of dedication in the last semester out on the avenues( the scholarly ones through a stretch approximately 2.2 kms in length) of KGP.In the first year he was still very much the brilliant bull he still is and always will. Sirwani's friendship is one of great camaraderie and excitement, at the same time it frustrates you in a very sweet way almost always(aka the face palm frustration in meme Jargon). His example teaches us to face life as it comes at you, go with the flow, and be a bull, always rising higher and higher. We wish him the best for all that he is lined up for him, with the assurance that come what may this fighter will always be at the top of his craft, by hook or by crook. PS: His tempo for the Gym is exceptional, but worthy of a review. If only his affinity for butter and all things fatty were to realign itself in the direction of his intentions. ViveK Nautiyal : He is the person who--in his final year--longed to get out of IIT asap; supposedly, he wanted to taste the freedom which--in some way--is a rarity inside the walls of IIT, considering the academic pressures in a notorious department of Electrical Engineering. Although a wise man may argue that is just gearing up for another bondage; another serfdom; an another delusion is waiting with its jaws open to arrest and engulf this noble soul. Certainly, this wise man has no sense of enthusiasm but, this article is not about such wise man rather about our dear Mr. Although normal people rarely understood what he used to say, but every time we perceived that he

is uttering something deep and above the level of a normal mind(this might be an act in--imitation of or inspiration from--Mr Woody Allen). His varied interests: being an entrepreneur; being an author; a civil servant(of the type of Mr Humphrey Appleby); trying to get admission in Oxford(in fever of being an Anglophile); playing violin; learning guitar; becoming ETDS governor; seeking employment in Barclays, etc, etc kept the tempo of whole wing on cloud 9. Finally he achieved most of what he wished from his college life. We all are very proud to have a friend like him. Some things(or rather those should not be called THINGS) which were not achieved should not be mentioned here. And after several episodes of interesting love stories along with few struggles to make one, presently he is very happy with someone. What a brilliance this person has, though he rarely gets time now a days but we all are waiting for him to finish his second novel and get it published very soon. IS GADWALI KI YAAD BAHUT AAYEGI. Thanks for your great philosophical-cum-conspiratorial articulation on how Dheeman Chatterjee is a Bangladeshi Muslim. We hope you take it beyond articulation and soon prove it to us. It might bolster your vain ideas of being SHERLOCK. Keep in touch Mr. President. Tharun V Vijayan The gadgets guy of the Hall. He reads more Engadget than anything else. Probably even watches more gadget reviews than porn. If it was not for him, many in this Insti would have passed out without ever playing an XBox game [:P]. Such is his craze for electronics that he buys a second XBox when one dies, always owns one of the best phones out there, and his speakers in full volume can bring the hall down. He also happens to be a photography GOD. Several ought to thank him for their awesome FB profile pics from the Tharun Photography series. Outside the world of gadgets he is also an amazingly social and popular guy and also a true mechanical engineer (with all that car funda you know...). He will be dearly missed in our wing pilgrimages to Aseems, all the wing bakar. We wish him luck for ever.
