Friends, Wingmates, Deliquents

We did plan to start this blog with a profile of everyone in the wing along with a pic of them holding something of theirs no one else in the wing has, from Dicku's Froggie to Sandi's guitar to Aakarsh's brand new 80k VAIO. But this is J2 after all, gloriously unpredictable, frustratingly lazy, extremely brilliant and of course, always, always great fun. So it's left to me to introduce you, gentle reader, to the cast who will hopefully take the stage soon.

Freshie: Nobody saw him. Nobody knows him. We certainly didn't kill him.

KKT: The first of the Gults who does but occasionally drop into our 'crapping' sessions. Usually seen playing CS on walks to and from the BOG.

C3: The most outgoing of the Gults with a new found love(for the voice) of a certain Chris Daughtry which he insists we too must share and so pushes his Altec Lansing system to levels audible to the entire hostel.

Aakarsh: The rich boy of the wing you get to see once in a while at the hostel entrance, to or from the sort of restaurant you only get to see the inside of in movies.

LCD: The food and drink supplier of the wing(he is the SAC sec after all), with
the unusual hobby of paining customer support, especially a certain silky voiced female from Devraj computers.

Guddu: An anime freak who believes you can learn all the secrets of life from a certain chap called Naruto, which is why you will find him lost staring at him the night before any exam.

PoFa: Though a passion for cricket, quizzing and old movies(I mean really old movies) confines him to his room for long periods of time, whenever he does turn up at our sessions, it's like a ray of eccentricity bursting through a murky haze of madness. A PoFa graced session is almost always remembered for weeks.

Dicku: The wing genius who better than anybody fits the adage, 'If there is a line between genius and madness, it is a very thin one'.

Sandy: The man whose 17 inch wide screen is what holds the wing together. With a horrendous Mallu accent that is a treat to hear, a door open any time of the night(not day) and a constant state of joblessness, his presence is a constant at any session.

Adult: Robotics, Linux and EE exist. Therefore he exists.

Dalal: Pro-Show coord, future ***-Sec, design stud and founding Chairman and CEO of J2DC. Need I say more?

MSM: Football crazy, always ready with a laugh, very little in life to do and possibly the only person in the insti who travels 150 km every week just so he can go home.

Mathew: The idiot who writes all this crap.

Anniyan: Affected by every vice known to man, he is preceded everywhere by the smell of the noxious beedis he tries to pass of as cigars. Recovering from the loss of his Gaydar, he has taken to thinking those around him are all....

Nikhil: The least seen entity in the wing. Not satisfied with the perfect 10 he put last sem, he wants to leave the insti with a CG of 9.9+. Last heard he was close to making an earth shattering discovery in the field of stability prediction of alloys in the special case of large entropy with a special reference to Fe based alloys using the modified Murthy method under hot, humid conditions using the process of ball milling in the presence of a strong electric field of organic origin.

Sriram: The CS stud whose only noticeable contribution of late has been the addition of another LCD screen to the wing.

$#!^1: Honorary member of our half wing, simply because his EC(eccentricity co-efficient) and KC(Kalaiable1 co-efficient) are higher than anybody else's. Of course his high FC might have had something to do with it too.
