Mukul Kumar Ranjan

My next friend in the section of 'Gehri Dosti' is Mukul Kumar Ranjan.

I am writing about Mukul Bhai so late in 'Gehri Dosti' because I had to make sure that I portray the actual picture of what Mukul Bhai is all about - something which not everyone is aware of.

Mukul Bhai is a bunch of oxymorons put together favorably to get a niche picture that should not undermine the cult status that Mukul Bhai commands. Mukul Bhai is the most experienced amongst my bunch of 'hard nut' friends. But that was never a hurdle is all the fun we had over the year.

He was a late acquaintance to me as I got to know him only when I shifted to Jewels from my hostel. Initially I perceived him to be a kadak uncle types person. But 2 weeks down the line, we were sitting together pulling Adi's leg. This is the kind of a person he is. Mostly keeps to himself but never alienates himself from his flatmates.

His favorite is his roomie - Adi !!! When Mukul Bhai was to become Adi's roomie, we all knew that he would be in for an adventure. And this became evident when Adi asked Mukul Bhai about some veg and non veg (I censored it). Mukul Bhai must have been astonished but got a good measure what he could expect in the coming days.

Mukul Bhai adores Arjun a lot. He lovingly calls Arjun as Arjooooooooooon !! Hehehehehe.

Anything about Mukul Bhai would be incomplete without mentioning the kind of songs he listens. Ghazals occupy the top slot. Jagjit Singh is his favorite and for some reason best known to Mukul Bhai, he is addicted to the songs of Aashiqui and Saajan. You people can also guess the reasons, I am not telling any. :)

Mukul Bhai was the first person to predict that Baba (Harshit) often goes to the Himalayas because he is seldom seen in the flat. Laloo Prasad Yadav is his favorite politician, He enjoys listening to Lalu's english speeches.

Another aspect of Mukul Bhai is that whatever new thing he sees or hears, he makes sure that everyone in the flat also sees or hears it. He acts as a cooling effect of his roomie's histrionics. And yeah, let me type this before it lips outta my mind. Mukul Bhai has even seen a movie alone at INOX. That was a bolt from the blue to me.

Mukul Bhai is a very open hearted and a straight forward person. He just speaks his mind out. He loves riding bikes and is forever ready for any adventure that gets planned in our flat.

You can always find him in his room either listening to some songs or watching some movie. He can watch as many as three movies in a day. He can send people into splits by turning the most serious situation into a funny one. The best reaction which Mukul Bhai ever exhibited was when Adi lost his jacket which was presented to him by someone special??? Again I am not going into the nitty gritties. LOLS

Mukul Bhai must have been the happiest person on earth, when the blue gate near our college was removed. Kyun Mukul Bhai??

All said and done it was a jolly ride with him over the year we spent together.

So Dost!! Good Luck to you in all your future endeavors.

Rahul Prem

My next friend in the section of 'Gehri Dosti' is Rahul Prem.

The most striking feature of this friend of mine is his name - RAHUL PREM. Rahul was King Khan's name is most of his successful movies (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, K3G etc) and Prem was Salman Khan's name in most of his successful films (Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun etc). Now the irony is that both King Khan and Salman Khan are not on talking terms and the only place you can find them together is in my friend's name.

For some reasons best known to him, he is affectionately called BOSS by us. Maybe it was because initially he was the second best CS player after Karan, but that name stuck to him. There are times when it feels odd to listen to his actual name as we have all been habituated to calling and hearing Boss only. But he is now hooked to FIFA 2010 which he plays with Mayank.

He is a soft spoken guy who mostly prefers to keep by himself but again as they say Silence is Gold. His rush of intelligence only becomes visibly when he speaks something. He is an extremely well cultured and well mannered individual. He doesn't argue much even if he knows that the other person is wrong. Maybe this habit was cultivated in him by being Sumit's roomie over the past two years coz Sumit comes up with such profound earth shattering theories that all Boss can do is remain dumbfounded. Hehehehehe.......

Another aspect of him is his whistling ability. He can sing any song completely just by whistling. This is the reason why I call him the 'Whistle Master'. He can dance also. He can patent his unique dance step which he created for the song 'Aahun Aahun'. LOLS.

So Dost!! Good Luck to you in all your future endeavors.

Hint about my next friend:

He DOESN'T like the song 'Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji'..... Can you believe it?????

Kapil Bhati

My next friend in the section of 'Gehri Dosti' is Kapil Bhati.

If there could ever be a live example of 'Size does not matter', then it has to be my friend Kapil or Bhati as he is more popularly known as. He is one of those guys who takes life as it comes. Perhaps that would explain the reason behind his long sleeping hours.

A total movie buff and could be seen watching movies in his room as late as five in the morning. He has a huge collection of downloaded movies and my only source to get all the latest Hollywood movies. He does not download any movie, all the movies in his collection are simply amazing.

He is also hooked onto various computer games like EA Sports' Cricket, Counter Strike and some other shooting game whose name I can't currently recall. The best part is he loves playing test matches in the Cricket game and plays exactly in the same fashion as the actual test matches are played. That is the reason why his virtual test matches also last five days !!!

His bike is like our 7th flatmate. His bike comes in handy in needy situations and almost everyone has rode his bike and he maintains his bike very well. He has still preserved his bike in probably the same condition as he bought it.

He is full of lighter veins and his laughter reverbrates like waves of thunders in our flat. He is still laughing while watching some movie as I type these lines. He has another distinction to his name. Yeah !! He was Aadi's roommate for the entire first year at our hostel. Now that in itself is a high recognition. For him finance is like his part of life. He would be appearing for CA exams later this year. Wishing him all the best.

I was told by many people to write about his style of walking also. Yeah, he has a unique style of walking which is akin to Catwalk. The typical walking with the beautiful alternate swaying of his hips. Hehehehehe.....

But he is one helluva soul with whom fun seldom ceases to exist.

So Dost!! Good Luck to you in all your future endeavors.

I call him Whistle Master

Mayank Suri

My next friend in the section of 'Gehri Dosti' is Mayank Suri.

My first interaction with him is someting which I remember vividly. It was centered around Homosexuality !!!!! (Before you can draw any further conclusions let me make it clear that we both are perfectly straight and both of us like girls !!!!). He is a techno-savvy guy who loves trying his hands at various computer games. Computer Games are like his viagra, he gets totally rejuvenated while playing them and can master any game within days of he playing it.

He is from Lucknow, so now you can guess what kind of a guy he can probably be. Yeah he is very much a tunde kabab wala. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is very passionate. He is an outdoors guy who is forever ready for any adventure or masti or fun on the run.

One thing which you can never forget once you meet him is his illuminating smile. His smile is such that you can carry with you, his smile pierces through all your misnomers and shines within like a sparkling diamond, his smile is something which gives you a crystallizing effect, his smile truly and deservingly qualifies undisputed for the proverbial 'Million Dollar Smile'.

He may not share every second of his life with you but he is very clear about his intensions. He is soft spoken but can get into fights like any guy can.......Jatin anyone???? He is a fun guy to be with and you totally enjoy his company.

There are certain things about him which he can actually patent and one of those things is his famous dialogue:
'Haan Bol Bachcha'

Currently he is hooked onto the FIFA 2010 game and plays it very religiously. His calm attitude is the perfect antidote to his more aggressive roommate. All said and done, Mayank is fun, unique and interesting.

So Dost!! Good Luck to you in all your future endeavors.

Famous for his unique style of walking (Cat Walk)

Aditya Agarwal

My next friend in the section of 'Gehri Dosti' is Aditya Agarwal.

Aadi is my flatmate and I got to know him well over the past one year as we lived together. Yeah he comes across as a different and unassuming soul.

I don't know but he has a certain flair that makes him very popular amongst people. Anybody who has met him even once would never tend to forget him or his mannerisms. But he is a very loyal friend as he takes birthday bumps on everybidy's behalf. Dost Ho Toh Aisa !!!
Now coming to his core competency. He is the financial analyst of Flat # 508, Jewels Apartments. He takes care of all the expenses incurred by us on his famed excel sheet. Every week we get a mail from him regarding all our expenses, balnce and dues. He is so quick at doing calculations that within a matter of seconds he pulls out his excel sheet and can tell how much money we spent on any particular day of a particular month.

Yeah and now I am going to reveal his worst kept secret !!!!!
HE HAS A GIRL FRIEND.........with whom he talks daily for hours and hours at a trot. Ask my flatmates and they will tell you. The day becomes very boring untill and unless you donot talk to Aadi.

He can make an awesome French Omlette and every weekend he goes to 'Ande Ka Funda' to learn how to make World's best Omlettes. Hahahahahaha.......

He is a miraculous human being. One day his rib bone disappeared and reappeared the next day. Now isn't that a miracle that even Albert Einstein could not find a solution to. He makes people laugh a lot around him and is always in the heart of all the celebrations held in our flat. Its almost like 'Party mein Aadi nahin toh Mazaa nahin'

So Dost!! Good Luck to you in all your future endeavors.

His smile is his most striking feature

Sumit Dwivedi

My next friend in the section of 'Gehri Dosti' is Sumit Dwivedi.

Statutory Warning:
This post might actually block your grey matter !!

Sumit is one friend of mine who everybody eagerly wanted to know about. But why??? Is he a prodigy or simply a misjudged IDIOT (Idiot now has a better meaning). Can totally catch you by surprise and makes sure that he himself is also assailed. He can dumbfound you by the preciseness of his preachings and at the same time your grey matter can indulge in a race against time to comprehend his illusions.

He has an answer to every question he is being asked and can answer even those questions which are unasked. The reason for which nobody knows or maybe nobody tries to understand. He is full of cliches and it is difficult to make out where his head and legs actually are.

Can come up with brain shattering theories and then dissolves the tadka of realism into it by saying 'Tumhari Kasam' to whoever he is interacting giving goosebumps to that poor guy!!!

One of his theory was so vituperative that it could have forced Amitabh Bachchan to commit suicide!!! Amitabh should be thanking Sumit for not making the theory at a public platform or else we would never have seen Amitabh acting in Paa.

An unconventional guy with uncanny looks and zany humour......but he is fun!!! Can have people around him in splits at the drop of a hat and has a sky towering self opinion. All said and done he is a good guy with no reservations. He can cook also and cooks pretty well.

No post about Sumit can ever be complete without mentioning about Rishabh. Well... Rishabh is Sumit's friend, philosopher, guide and all other similar phrases put together. The reason for this generosity????? Well, you will have to ask either Sumit or Rishabh. Kyun Rishabh???

His biggest strength is his bizzarity. It can actually catch you unawares and sometimes on the wrong foot. But most of the time he would have done it inadvertendly. At times he can rub you the wrong way but then will also amend it.

Has big dreams in his eyes and the will in his heart to cut across all hurdles that life may throw his way.

So Dost!! Good Luck to you in all your future endeavors.

The biggest hint that I can give is 'MICROSOFT EXCEL'

Karan Lokwani

My next friend in the section of 'Gehri Dosti' is Karan Lokwani.

If reincarnation actually exists then I am sure Che is reborn as Karan Lokwani. Both of them were instrumental in creating revolutions in their own right. Che initiated guerilla warfare on actual battle field and Karan made our entire college into a real time battle field.

I don't need to mention what I am talking about. But for some uninitiated people, I am talking about Master of Disaster (I think the name is enough to send chills down the spines of many). Yeah he is the guy who enkindled the passion of counter strike in our college and that passion which was a flame in its nascency has now turned into a full fledged fire.

Karan comes across as a small town simpleton but as they say appearances are always deceptive. The moment he opens his mouth, people are left flabbergasted at the astounding intelligence which seldom leaves people not bewildered!! A computer genius who has an incredible knowledge about the various complexities associated with any aspect of computers. During the first and the second semesters, he was the busiest soul during the IT exams when the entire hostel used to hustle and bustle into his room to get their doubts clarified. I was also a beneficiary.

Karan is a total video game freak and can play any game under the sun with equal excellence. He is a Champion Counter Strike player. For him Counter Strike is a way of life. He taught the entire hostel what CS was all about. He was the guy who had told me to try my hand at sniper if i am not able to get an aim. And Karan, it was because of that advice I am still stuck with sniper or Thak Thak as many people refer it to.

In the second semester, the situation had become so bad that even if we had exams at 10 in the morning we would be playing Counter Strike till atleast 6. We knew we would be screwing our exams but there are some things in life where profit or loss is not measured and CS was one of them. He had organized the Counter Strike tournament in our college which was a riproaring success. It was the first time that a CS tournament was organized in our college and it was possible due to the all out efforts put in by Karan.

He is an ennoble guy and his favorite song is 'Ya Ali Rehem Ali, Ya Ali'...... He has an assuaging smile which would break all the shackles of concern and misery. A magnanimous guy with tranquilizing mannerisms which would make any person interacting with him feel important. He is one guy whom people would love to confide all their huggers muggers and feel palliated that it would stay that way.

He is one guy whom maximum people in the college would start to miss after a couple of months as his popularity cuts across all the sections and genders of our college.

I am sure that I would never ever get to play CS once I finish my MBA and everytime I think about CS, I would invariably end up missing my friend Karan badly, very badly!!!

So Dost!! Good Luck to you in all your future endeavors.
