The specimens at Great Lakes

Yet another boring class.. I am convinced now that they are my only chance to update my blog (given the time crunch outside class). So, what do I write about today while trying to make sense out of this utter B.S. class on HR management? Umm... Why not describe each of the specimens (read friends) here?

Anirudh Kashyap (aka Ani/Kashy): "Cash to the right of me.." - this shall be his mantra five years from now. Amongst us he shall be the first one to become a millionaire. Unlike all other cases, this is one where he will not be slow or late. Will cry even if he gets a CGPA of 3.93!

Anil: No less than Ani, he is the other millionaire amongst us. He looks like Morpheus with his shades on and thinks I am an illiterate when it comes to music! Watch out for this guy when he is teaching for he is capable of flinging anything that comes handy - book, calci, ...!

Bennett (aka Ben/Benny): He is the "lambu" of our gang at 6 feet something. Funny, goofy and rated the cutest guy on campus (apparently) :P An unconventionally sweet fellow :)

Gaurav Gupta (aka GG): Meet GG; the guy with the best "timing". Knows exactly when to take a pot shot and exactly where to stop. A very lucky guy (the reason for which is the next person.. err.. specimen I shall introduce)

(Agri)-Maa or (Mag)-gie: She is the epitome of patience to put up with GG! Raat-keeda as I would like to call her, she can sleep all day but not at night. Extremely talented, this belle can dance so well, you cannot see anyone else but her when she is on stage. She forbids me from having more than 2 cups of coffee a day :(

Angad: He does not have a nickname. Why? Coz "Angad" defines Angad best. No adjectives can do him fair justice. TPZ, football fanatic are some words that go as his synonyms. "now it's like that eh?", "Copyright (make a 'C' with your thumb and fingers curled)", "talk to the hand"... all are his.. well... copyrights! Always glad when you introduce him to a new girl (but he needs no help with introduction). That's Angad.

Murugan (aka Muruga/Quickgun/Shotgun): The success of Quickgun (Murugan) on our campus should be clearly attributed to this guy. Oh Stu-kesh (coz he's the Stu Co/Student Coordinator)! Beckoned by all for everything; from getting their rooms cleaned to taking attendance in guest lectures. Anything and everything that does not fall within the scope of any other committee (or we simply can't find the right person) we holler for this guy.

Manika & Dhrity: I thought of writing about Manika, but I couldn't imagine her minus Dhrity :P. Both these girls are virtually bound! To the extent that they have also caught flu together!

But I'd might as well write about them separately :P.
So back to Manika (aka Mani): My partner in crime and our crime being SWIM. And boy! what a rocking time we had while SWIMming :) Just got to know her better during those days - that she should be left alone when she's flaring, but she's absolutely fine the next moment. half the people on campus are "max cute" and for the other half she wonders "yeh apne class mein hai??!!??"

Dhrity (aka DB/Dhut): Mandarin is her pet subject :D. This babe from Guwahati has broken (and shall break) several hearts on campus. Her standard response to this would be "Arre... thappad ekdum.. throw you on the road ekdum". BTW, it's an honour for me to share my birthday (literally) with this B-E-A-U-tiful girl. And I recently found out that I was to be named Dhruti! I am glad i wasn't.. it would have been some story on campus!

Aditi: "jaldi se garam roti le aao warna Aditi aa jayegi".. that's the canteen gossip :P. This girl has a mind of her own... don't even think of influencing her! The darling or "charming lady", may I say, of our faculty here; this girl will suddenly scream in class, laugh (out loud) and walk around at free will (the only other person who can dare to walk freely in class is Rajveer, the 'Straight F' teaching assistant. I can dedicate an entire blog to him!). But all said and done, she has the sweetest smile and if you ever want a frank opinion, she is the one to go to.

That's about some of the rare specimens I met here. You bet there are more. But as the lecture comes to an end, so does my post. Before anyone accuses me, I too am a part of this rare species; so people feel free to write about this specimen :)
