Thing I like About Him: He's good-humoured,modest and his execution style is spot on

Bindiya "Gitli" Thapa

June 1994.We were in school together in Himachal.She was the one who pointed out all my misadventures to the teachers and made sure that I got the reward.Life has not been fair to her.She has seen more than her share of grief so young.Her resilience and fighting spirit have always been inspiring.

Chintu "Bhavna" Joseph

Wonderful person.Soft-spoken,Intelligent & unfailingly nice.Treasure her company.Although she's my mom's cousin we're great friends.And I like teasing her a lot.She doesn't miss any opportunities to pull your legs either.Shes a university rankholder i guess..right?Her cool demeanour is very refreshing.

Manish Mahajan

June 1994.My great smart friend from Himachal.We studied in 9th and 10th together.Teacher's pet.Glad to 've got hold of him after 10 long years.Although we'vent had lot of fun together but we've had good times.Represented our school for the Youth Parliament together.Chupa rustum.Never told us that he had a crush on someone in school.kudiyon watch out for the most eligible punjab da puttar.[correction]kudiyon watch out for the most eligible punjab da puttar's wedding in a month.

Nilesh Aggarwal

June 1994.Like my other friends,we go a long way back too.Thanks to him,i dug out most of my old friends.A guy's guy,great guy to hang out with.It's just that we'vent had a fun trip together.Guess It's just a matter of time.

Padmaja "Padma" Lakshminarasimhan.

August 2001.Soft-spoken,modest,good-humoured.The first thing that strikes me about her is her billian-dollar smile.Your worries vanish atleast for the moment.Very down-to-earth person.It's always a pleasure talking to her.

Sajeev "Saji" Nair

January 1986.The Metrosexual Man.I know him since we were kids.Had been part of an mini ordeal together.Lost and found like some of my other friends.Would love to spend time with him but his work and a cute princess named Arya-his kid,keeps him on his toes always.

Saptarishi "Sapta" Talukdar

June 1996.A true gentleman.We've had a good understandin right fr the word go.happy-go-lucky character like me.We've never had any ego clashes.A big guy with a big heart.When it comes to girl-friends, i think he has had the maximum.Every year in school he had a different person.Partha really envied that.Right?Ghar pe being the only son..he's the ladla..Dont you mess with him,he'll give u one whack n you'll land up on the moon.

Thing I like About Him: Always-willing-to-Help attitude
Thing I hate About Him: we don't get to meet often

Sarita "Sari" Sukesh

April 1991.she was one of the musketeers from goa,the other being me.she made sure tht i always got a handful from mom for my misadventures.but shes a lovely woman, very simple and unassuming..haan kabhi kabhi thoda akadthi hai but then nobody's perfect..she just has had a baby girl.i'm so thrilled...hope to see the three of you soon.

Shobhna "Maggi" Negi

June 1994.Pretty woman from Dalhousie.Is kudiye da style zara hatke hai.baddi sayani hai yaar.baddi baddi baatein karti hai.You should read her journals.Thought-provoking stuff.Has Become a Flying Mermaid and has lost sense of time.She still recognises me though!

Thing I like About Her: great friend and a lovely smile

Sumitra "Sumi" Datta

June 1996.The first time i met her itself i knew bahut samajhdhar hai and her name confirmed it.We had similar subject interests.Biology.She's another great friend of mine.Good-humoured,focused.Even in class hamesha padthi rehthi thi.Presently doing her research, shes vowed not to get married till shes completes her research.But har cheez seriously leti hai even if its a joke.Her steadfast determination & perseverance towards achieving her goals is really inspiring.I should take a cue from her.

Thing I like About Her: ambitious,focussed

As of Nov 2008: Has become a research scholar and we've cut a deal to share any nobel prize she wins,for my unrelenting support.

Vinu Unnikrishnan

Yagesh Paliwal

August 2001.At first look,you might think he's a russian but the sona munda's from Delhi.Fun & him always go together.Jab dekho masti karta rehta hai.And he likes travelling a lot.What is never-wracking is how come he hasn't found a girl-friend yet?The day he gets married i'm sure hes going to break a few hearts.

As of Nov 2008: I'm sorry guys that I bring to you the painful truth he's engaged..
