\"My Sagittarius friendYou are so calm before exams, so indifferent regarding grades, so nonchalant about trips…Peace-loving, cool and composed, I always wondered how someone can be so perfect! Heehawhaw!Jokes apart, I love that you choose this “way-below-your-league” college in this “small, non-metro” city and made our lives brighter through your “not-so-good” jokes and your“pedestrian” humor..Our Daman Trip ,personal messaging and your prayers will always remain special! And whenwe gossip about the rest of the world, LOL (Just like Joey and Phoebe)I have many more things to write but since this is a public forum I restrain from doing so! Staythe spoilt brat you are!\"-- Amrita\"Yash is full of fun and can make you laugh all the time. He is the one who can tell you wheth-er the grades are out. He will remember your grades even if you don’t remember yours!He is quite good with numbers and almost half of the batch got saved in accounting becauseof him!Paneer/chicken tikka butter masala and kulcha/naan are his most ordered dishes in any res-taurant. He is very diet conscious, in his words. But he is the one who asks for a cold drink im-mediately after the lunch/ dinner. Now, he will say “Yaar Pizza bahot unhealthy hota hai” andnext moment you will find him gulping “cheese burst” pizza in the nearest pizza house! (:P)He is a big fan of bollywood. He is the chhota packet with great energy and enthusiasm. Heloves to express his enthusiasm even during exams! I will not forget the written test (conductedby one of the companies for summer placement) and the way he was uttering “Yes!” after an-swering each and every question!He takes good care of his friends. You can never get bored when he is around you! Though hebecomes little impatient (chhatipiti) sometimes, but he has been a great friend to me.They say “Ranchi waalon ki yaari aur sher ki sawari naseeb waalon ko milti hai”. He provesthis to be true ! :)\"-- Kasturi SwainThe bestest roll senior one could ever get. Thanku for your immense support and guid-ance.Wish u loads of success and happiness ahead :)-- Suchismita DasOne thing that I am definitely going to miss is our \"theth Bihari connection\". It was so muchfun using words which left everyone around wondering what exactly do they mean. AND Youare hilarious .
