Testimonials

Its goodbye time for most of us here at IITK (dualites like me are gonna be here another year). Hence its time for testimonials, and reliving the memories. Here are the testimonials written by my pals for me, for the Batch Yearbook:

Ankit Rustagi:
Nicknames: Surdy/ Sardar/ Pappe/ Sadkar. Properties: Tall, well-built, fair-skinned, bearded, intelligent, smart, witty, moody. Though he might like to differ, he is one guy I can totally explain the actions and character of. He writes awesome poetry making girls go weak in their knees/ hearts (I say some day he is going to bed a girl with this poetry of his), is a diehard Manchester United fan (talks about shedding blood, glory ManU and all), and shares the passion of cricket, movies, current affairs and music with me.
Notwithstanding the amount of alcohol he has consumed so far in his life, he would be most Un-Sardar-ly Sardar around, devoid of all the Sardar-ly enthu and zeal. He would stay in his room for most of the time during gymkhana festivals watching movies, porn, browsing internet, downloading movies/serials and shit. He would change his future goals on a monthly basis, one day he is almost set to get a PPO in a FMCG major, next day he is taking GRE, the very next day he is not and instead, cycling to Neeraj Prasad’s CAT classes. But strangely enough, he excels in pursuit of every goal that he has set for himself. Got a first class intern at ITC, switched to dual degree to get the feel of research, studied for GRE and GATE only to ditch ‘em at the last moment, topped Career Launcher’s Schol Test to start preparing for CAT, and bloody notched up a dussa after having a heartbreak during his endsems.
We have shared our love lives with each other, drawing inspirations from each others’ and lending each other shoulder to cry when everything seemed to shatter. He is the guy I think of calling on that “fateful day in Meerut” :P. We have drank a lot together, watched a lot of shitty as well as some great movies in Rave 3 together with Rakesh, had fucking great night outs discussing life, movies, cricket, girls and what not. These have been some of the best moments of my life. I don’t know, neither does he, what he is going to do in his life, but I am sure jahaan bhi jayega, phaad dega..!!


Rakesh Ranjan:
Describing Aman isn't a tough task... in fact, one word is suitable enough for him..."No-Nonsense Guy". He never does any non-sense, of which you can't make any sense (except once... when he loved someone madly... you still can make sense of it.). Extremely expert in two areas- Academics and Girls. Now, you are thinking..."no-nonsense guy with interest in acads" and "girl(s)".... can these two go together? Well... Aman is the answer to your question. This guy has uncanny ability of "impressing" girls. He never put it in his resume... but lemme tell you, he got his first love-letter in 4th std.( though he rejected, he has kept the letter :P ). As he keeps chatting with gals a lot, i am sure, some more stories are about to unfold.[;)]. Anyway, he never lets his academic graph go down. He has always maintained his "nine point someone" status despite of gaming, watching movies and chatting for hours. He may be releasing some book on "efficient wastage of time" in coming years [:)].Telling about Aman, and not mentioning Manchester United would be a crime. This guy is just superb in soccer trivia and sometimes surprises you with the details. Punctuality, determination to do better and the positive energy can be felt easily in his lifestyle.
The way this guy achieves the pinnacle in what he tries, keeps everybody guessing which mountain he gonna climb. Well... one thing I know for sure, someday he gonna conquer the Everest. Keep going buddy.

Pappe: He’s a Stud, a real stud!
Smooth with chics, writes kick-ass poetry, hits the gym regularly and spends a hell lot of time on his comp. And did I mention that he’s awesome at acads.He doesn’t do extra curics, but that’s just coz he doesn’t need it. With his presence of mind, sharp mind n rocking personality, he is a true leader. Using his quick wit, logon ki pyaar se utaar leta hai. Rocks everything he does, and does so in style.
Hope to see u at MIT or Harvard, whichever u decide brother!!
Kudos man! No one can stop u, u’re gonne attain great heights!
Cheers!!


Amit Bhawsinghka:
Pappe: First time I tried talking to him, in the orientation program, he didn’t seem tht open to talk. Bt as he opened up, I got to learn a lot abt this guy. He is intelligent, gud in sports and highly dedicated to whtever he does. I rmbr in our TA101 lab, we used to jst copy each other’s drawings (me copying him more) and also gaze at girls :D (if u ask him he will tell u wht I m talking abt) . Abhi bhi….if he n me r together n v c some bird, d first sentence tht he wud say wud be ki “usko teri bhabhi banaunga” :D .
Sports mein to he is exceptional…be it fatta or footy. Volleyball he has learnt a bit late bt even thn he has become quite gud at it. One thing I will always rmbr is our balling duo…and our intense competition on the field. We have rarely been teamed opposite to each other so don’t hav much experience facing this guy. In the girl’s dept this guy is also very gud. He has told me stories of his friends and hw they all want a piece of pappe :D . wish u find my true “bhabhi” soon mate.
Best of luck fr ur life dude n hope to c u as successful as u can be. It ws real fun being in same wing wid u and will njoy it in the next yr as well.
Cheers.


Arvind Modi:
This is my second testi to Amandeep aka Sardar and truly he is a good leader.Extremely concentrated and sincere.He is got a big brain and a big body which he sometimes 'misuses' to attack me but i enjoy all of it.I have been his lab partner and its really difficult to match his standards (rather i say, i keep a low standard).He is an integral part of my IITK life and a friend for rest of the life.
Always keep in touch buddy :)
