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.
