Roommates, family away from home.

Bring on 10 more kilos.
Prateek Ranjan

I start off with him because he has/had been my roommate the longest. Have shared the first night in hostel(not to be taken in a sexual way) with him and from then till today, probably he is the most compatible roommate i can ever get. Be it spending on anything, gyming or the craving for chicken, we are mostly on the same page. Yes, we did differ at some places, but come on what fun will it be had everyone been the same. As i already mentioned he is quite passionate about his body which is a permanent passion. Other than that he gets committed to things very easily and quite devotedly until one day he is bored. He will take a considerable amount of time choosing the best thing at the best possible rate, get hooked up to it for quite some time and then get bored and that once prized possession goes into the dumps. A chilled out guy, always fun to be with, crazy rather really crazy at times but when it Was just us, things used to be quite and serious but that is on me. Not much of a talker I am. Yeah before i get into specifics, i ll end it here.

Practically he has also been my roommate for last years though we were in different rooms in first year but circumstances and people made us stay in each other's rooms a lot. Irritation and negativity made us go his room and odour related problems made him come to ours. He is also a fun to be with guy, a great actor. He can bluff right at your face and you would never know. Quite attached to family emotionally. The times and tides of engg have changed this guy a lot. From the shy talk to no one kind of a person, he is now found in all groups and also is charming his way through the girls. Way to go. ;)

His peculiar rajasthani dilect, love for modi and some strange connection with Gujrat are among other character traits of our hero.
N.B. "Doodh liya." means he is asking to get milk not the obvious meaning of get milk.

Says the guy with the physique that will make the leanest size 0 models shy away. Kanpur in his bloods and his throat, he can keep talking and at times irritating till the world comes to an end or he is beaten up. The best partner to go out to eat with. If you feel like having extra you need not order extra, you just know he will leave some for you. Awesome artist. A great guitar player. And sings write from the soul. In short he is the person girls are looking for. But she tends to shy away from them and later complains of not having any girl friend. Which he does on a regular basis all year round. Very true and loyal in keeping friendships. He is the glue keeps the group together actually.

'I don't give a damn. Phrrr.'

I would not start off with his quotes because that is an unending list.

As i mentioned earlier, everything he says becomes a quote and the funny things is that only a few living beings on planet earth understand what he means to say. Other than our roommates and his family, there are only a handful of people who comprehend him.
The plant and animal lover among us, connects well with animals, birds, insects and other organisms that exist on the planent even better than he connects with humans.
It might be his damn care attitude, ignorant behavior or genuine dumbness which made us conclude that he was busy playing games on his iPad when God was out distributing brains to humans before sending them to earth. Oh I forgot to mention his love for games and his iPad. He can stay glued to playing games all day without food water and without even blinking. He behaves like he is nuts but is basically a good person at heart. Photography, yes after iPad and games one thing he can kill for is a camera and his passion for taking photos.

"Aur kisiko Roti khani hai ya main kha lun?" 10 minutes later, "Jyada kha liya be." 20-30 minutes later, "Yaar bahut bhook lagi hai, chal Vijai Maggi khate hain."

Our in house Bong. Sweet tooth.

Prateek and this guy were the link behind getting these two different groups in first year get together in 2nd year and the years ahead. He can eat and edible food in any quantity and still be hungry. The best part being it doesn't show on his body. Blessed with a muscular body and a god gifted ability to gain muscles at the right places easily, he is one of the fittest persons.
Other than food one other thing he loves doing all day is downloading random shit from the net and deleting it the next day when there is free Internet. I mean FREE Internet. Though he has lived mostly away from his motherland of Bengal but yet some of the particular traits that of a Bengali person are there in his blood or probably deeper in the marrow. He loves sweets, cost cutting can be a really enjoyable pass-time for him and taking the best of what is at hand are some of the traits. But he dislikes fish. Yes, strange.

So that sums up the my roommates. Yes, they all are from different parts of the country and totally different characters yet it's amazing how nicely we connect.

I ll leave my description for them. I ll also write one and then cross check. :p
