My RG

Danny and Handa have started it so I'm gonna follow. Here's my RG (Rogues Gallery. (Definition: Write-up about passing out seniors on Hostel nite, put up on the walls in the corridor or near the entrance)). Will soon put up a link to junta's RG's on my blog (with everyone's permission. If you don't want me to, mail me)

Literally the "fairest-of-them-all", it is quite a wonder that he has not been discovered by cosmetic giants in India. The secret of his complexion though is known to few - a special yeast extract that is referred to in hostel circles as "black s***". This gentle leviathan from Kenya (???) is also known for his kindness to insects measuring one hundredth of his size or less. If any of these chance to enter his room at night, with a scream he will depart donating his room to the insect until whenever it chooses to leave.

Extremely apprehensive about his weight Suhas begins each semester with a firm resolve to reduce his weight and attract a greater portion of the fairer(???) sex. Weight loss techniques include jogging, chewing food well and even starving. His resolves nevertheless die out in three days resurfacing in a short burst just before Saarang. Also very conscious of his looks, Suhas has never been seen with ruffled hair even by wing-mates. He also shaves twice a day though he hardly grows a stubble. Also at any given moment there are more T-shirts in Suhas’ room that in the whole of Spencers.

It is a Herculean task to convince Suhas of anything. Be it acads or Lit Soc strats he is either convinced right away or never. Suhas’ smiling and happy-go-lucky image manages to belie his tough and thoughtful interior. Hostel juniors who have experienced his cribbing nature have christened him "sad ass". He is also well known for his caustic retorts and high pitched screams.

One of the insti’s heartthrobs, Suhas’ love life has blossomed over the four years at IIT. It all started off at Saarang 2002 when a couple of school juniors recognized him and the rest is ….. well, campus news. Helpful hostel juniors have often helped make his romantic trysts memorable with missed calls and messages. Recently a cabal that went to IIMB was witness to an inebriated Suhas’ romantic pursuits that concluded in a prostration to the victim on the dance floor. On the day of Valentines Suhas was missing from his room and returned in the early hours of the morning. Though he vehemently claims to be single he is known for "pulling a rabbit out of his hat". Despite all this Suhas is a firm believer in the concept of arranged marriage. So ladies beware.

Suhas’ cribbing nature has helped the hostel’s Lit Soc campaign survive many a hostile situation. A tough taskmaster he has marshaled Mandak’s lit team through a tough year of Lit Soc many a time resorting to lead by example. A fighter to the core he managed to be a nine-pointer even when he was down in jaundice sem. A talented guy he can design, paint, sing, dance and even act. Mandak will surely miss this one-man-army the following year. Suhas is still awaiting his app results but also has a job at ITTIAM, Bangalore in hand, and we wish him all the very best.
