Kamal Das (KD) Dorm 7 Room 18
The ever-smiling dorm rep has been a pillar of support to facchas throughout the year. With a stupendous 100% track record in his summer interviews, this multi-pronged talent has quite a few other jewels in his crown. Who can forget his unmatched (re)scheduling skills-any and every submission had to bow to KD's order for postponement. His birthday reminder notices for Section B and his amazing capacity to pain people on Dbab (max posts, surpassing the redoubtable Pie) have become a part of the IIM A legend. Besides being the most active Secy (Lit) on campus, KD had his finger in every pie getting a record eight nominations in The Poll of the Year 2003. All his D-7 productions were, needless to say, super-duper hits. Success has its own pitfalls however-KD got a taste of that when he received a few slap-threats from the Bens (Bhais are passe in IIM A) of the binary dorms. If there is any regret that this champ will take with him from this place, it has to be his unexpressed love for the girl with the golden handshake from D11. God give you the strength KD!!.

Prakul Kaushiva Dorm 7 Room 20
The Dream Boy of facchis around the campus, this handsome hunk has found his calling in negotiating deals around the globe as a suede I-Banker at Goldman Sachs. Perennially starved of female presence, the dorm was suddenly flocked by hordes of members of the fairer sex as they queued up to be a part of Prakul's International Cell during Confluence 2002. A regular nightouter, this hardworking stud has left his mark behind in every avatar that IIM A has seen of him, be it the Media Cell Coordinator or the Model on the Chaos ramp. Tickly's soulmate as a connoisseur of good food and b**ze, facchas will remember his initiative in galvanizing junta for dorm treats in general and Corpo- D in particular.

Soumya Shekar Sarkar(Shomu) Dorm 7 Room 12
Shomu has taken the traditional acting to a near unattainable art form and has raised the bar to a level that the facchas can only aspire to. His strict observance of his diet and exercise regimen and the many jokes about it will be one of the abiding memories of our association. Not more memorable however than the “Mairi's that Shomu sang on every dorm get together-that voice will remain with us long after he has left this place. Unwavering in his Fin focus, D7 wishes that its placecommer achieves his purpose and finds his rightful place under the sun.

Suhail Salim Kassim Dorm 7 Room 10
The coolest dude in the dorm, Suhail is the God of one-liners with a major in rear-end gaseous emissions. Immortalized by KD in his epic D7 saga as the awesome lover boy with two heroines SOMA and PRAKRITI, this stud had a French babe swooning over him in HPLR-all in a matter of one class. Suffice to say that the female in question was about to be engaged to one of the more colourful characters on campus. Having cracked paper and case contests left right and center, the engineer from Pilani seems to have left Electronics far behind as he sets out to emit administrative gas throughout TAS

Mohit Sardana Dorm 7 Room 9
If ever cricket could be personified, Mohit would be the man. Amazing in the breadth of his cricket knowledge, his astute captaincy, resolute batting and crafty bowling led D7 to victory in the 1st Inter Dorm Night Cricket Tournament, steamrolling all opposition worth a mention along the way. Where the rest failed, Mohit put his hand up (as do great cricketers in the hour of reckoning) and answered D7's call for a Dorm Bhabhi. Having fulfilled with great distinction his task of tempoing D6 down and inspiring D11 facchis (Mugo Facchiyan Mugo) during his many visits to the in-law dorm, this savvy marketer is all set to hit sixes when he sets foot in the industry.

Ritesh Gupta Dorm 7 Room 8
Fundae in the morning, fundae in the noontime/ fundae, fundae/ fundae when the sun goes down. The facchas will be the first to attest to Ritesh's vast reservoir of fundae, be it for courses, for IPs or for life in general. He has been a phenomenal source of help to all the facchas during their summers and it is no mean feat for him to have set a particular part of the facchas' anatomy on fire to get them mugging when it was most required. Cracking interview after interview, this Consult and Strategy God seems to have taken the best companies on campus by the scruff of their necks. D7 shall always miss his undying concern for his facchas, his unbeatable ability to mug under a borrowed quilt (with cult figures of the campus) and above all, his amazing presence. All the best dude!!

Rakesh Kumar Dorm 7 Room 7
His numerous NID contacts and their kissas are the hot themes of D7 top 5s. Surprisingly though, his poor GK about facchis can probably make it to Ripley's Believe it or Not, his ignorance about one Ms. An***i being an absolute howler. The explanation perhaps lies in his not so platonic relationship with his two loves in life- you have guessed it right- Ships and Food. The dorm shall greatly rue the excitement that he will take away with him from this place.

Gaurav Pant Dorm 7 Room 5
If food be the music of life, eat on If b***e be the music of life, so much the better..
Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, Act I, Scene I (Sorry for the mutilation!!!!)
The indomitable gastronome of D7 is the God of All Things: to-be I-Banker, cricketer, footballer, baddy player, a Top 5 specialist-the list goes on. An ardent upholder of dorm traditions , the facchas owe to him their familiarity with the greatest and the shadiest eateries of Ahmedabad. Gaurav's betting disasters, both on Ladbrokes and in-dorm, have become a part of the D7 folklore. D7 ardently prays that he doesn't bet his bank away on capital markets around the world.

Amit Bhandari (Wadi) Dorm 7 Room 2
The flag bearer of the now famous ** Jaani Dushman Movement, this Marketing God has created dorm history of sorts by his Gandhian abstinence-specifically the "see no evil" part of the great man's preachings. The world is a bitch however-it lost no time in trying to erode the man's high moral standing by pointing to his many rendezvous with a certain extra-dorm male at ungodly hours. Unconcerned, Wadi went about doing what he does best-cracking paper and case contests. Old habits die hard, and the dorm is confident that Wadi will continue with his winning streak wherever he goes.

RPrasun Baheti Dorm 7 Room 19 (last term)
This soft-spoken almost self-effacing pin up boy does not give much away at first glance. But when one sees the magic unfold- unmanageably long shortlists (of course he is an I Schol), Greek Godlike presence on the ramp, D1 and D11 top 5s cluttered with his name and a divine facchi falling flat for him during Chaos- one realizes that the dorm had managed to pull off yet another coup during the post exchange reallocations. The dorm has only one bit advice for this stud: Quit smoking man, the fairer sex finds you irresistible even without it.
|
Akash Jain (Bhaiya Singh) Dorm 7 Room 17 (Last Term)
Strange are the ways of fate, for D7 would have remained ignorant of the marvels that this genial erstwhile D2 dorm-rep carries in his wake had the major post-exchange dorm reallocation not materialized. In the little over two months that Bhaiya has been with us, the dorm's enthu levels have been raised to a new plane. The unforgettable sight of Bhaiya and Gaurav betting away to glory on Ladbrokes (and losing, of course) during the World Cup will stay with us for a long time to come. Sporting the "Strato God" look with a French beard, Bhaiya looks set to make ICICI (International of course what else did you expect?) his own pretty fiefdom

Akshaya Kumar Behera Dorm 7 Room 17 ABM
If ever a film were to be made on the Indian cricket fan, Akshaya would undoubtedly be its star. With him around, one did not have to ask for the score, the expressions on his face said it all. He sober was a joy to be with. But when the happy water flowed, he elevated himself to a different level of consciousness-the senti that gushed forth then from the bottom of his heart was 24 carat pure. The dorm misses the man who was left unpolluted by one and a half years of backbiting and RG that life at IIM A is-the rare specie of the IIM A graduate who lived by his heart.
|
Prashant Sorte Dorm 7 Room 6 ABM
Prashant epitomized silent efficiency in the manner that no one in the dorm did. With a jovial and helpful disposition, and wisdom quite beyond his years, he was the natural "father figure" to the more impetuous ABMs in the dorm. His cracking the placements disproved the old adage of nice guys finishing second.

Jaidev Singh Lochi Dorm 7 Room 19 ABM
The Haryana da Jat did the unthinkable at IIM A: he had Prof R***C amble up to him with a respectful Assalam Walekum during tea time, to which our stud had a confident, assured Walekum Assalam in riposte. Few people can pass out of this place with credentials like that. The God of tempo shouts and bumps, Buffy was equally at home exchanging Kaho na prem hai messages with ETs of Planet 11. The tennis freak is sure to ace himself to glory in the not too distant future.
