GALS OF B2k7

(Sakshi Rastogi)

We are handful of 17 girls in this big bunch of 190, not even 10%!

As one has rightly pointed out, “Quality matters and not quantity…” We all prove this to a great extent. Like CHERRIES on the pudding of B2k7, we stand apart….thanks to God for this…making us special in some ways at least.

Interaction with guys has always been an “uphill task” for some

though some find it as the most ‘easiest job’ done!

There are singers, dancers, writers and speakers,

though some are really great thinkers…!

Lets meet each individually…

Hold your breath and mind your words coz… there are the “GALS OF B2k7”

Without any biasing we’ll start roll no. wise.

TARINI SUNIL: “I’ll fail” is what she says after exam and then to her surprise and everyone else’s expectations comes out with “over flying” colours… “Topper of B2k7”

Forever on phone with her mother, she is proud to be her daughter. ‘Lucknow ki tahzeeb’ and ‘hard work’ are the two words that define her.

TARUNA GUPTA: The liveliest girl of our batch, she has got a battery in her that does not need charging. Bold, smart and a great dancer, she also excels in sketching. Thinking before speaking is 'out of fashion' for her, her style is “think after you speak”. “Mobile hi sacha dost” for her...

SRUSHTI DHOPE: “Shakira…Shakira…”, “Bol naa halke-halke”, “My dil goes…” and what not! You name it and she’ll sing it. The golden voice of B2k7, she also known for her ‘hat-ke’ attitude.

AKSHERA RAI: ‘The Qatar girl’, as she was known before…has taken up the Indian counterparts really well. Known for her looks and dance, she is famous in the hostel for the line, “Kuch khane ko hai kya??”

Books and Akshera is a rare combination which exists only on the eve of exams!

AKANSHAA KHARE: Known for being a ‘female PMP member’ not only in B2k7 but also in the entire IIITA, she is also a promising dancer.

Always hooked up in books, she has a nice aesthetic sense too….have a look at her room!

ARPITA AGARWAL: A very cute yet talkative girl, she finds a special space in every room in the hostel… An English movie and novel lover, she likes hanging around with her friends.

TANVI SAHNI: ‘Engaged in gossip every minute, Tanvi is this spirit’….

Known for her stylish dresses and accessories, she is the “JUGAADU” of our batch. Gets things done somehow or the other. Mature for her age, offers advice to one and all.

POOJA JHA: The tallest amongst the girls and a great programmer, she has a nag for orkutting and dance. Studies are perfect and she enlists herself in the topper’s category.

Fun and Masti defines her as a person.

BHAVANA CHAURASIA: Forever engaged in electronics project, she is also known for her ‘bathroom singing’ abilities.

Never hesitant to ask for help and always strives to do something new.

SHRADDHA GUPTA: Either sleeping or studying… She seldom can be seen out of her room. An extremely intelligent person, she is the master in electronics principle.

DIVYA MITRA: Always ready to lend a helping hand, she possesses an admirable peace of mind which never makes her blow her temper.

Polite and cute, she is a great ‘dramebaaz’…I mean a nice actress.

SHALINI JOSHI: ‘Made in Nepal’ yet has a true Indian heart… Forever wearing pink, she is a great singer and poet. Very simple in her attire yet attractive in looks. She is known for her ‘continuously speaking’ habit.

NIHARIKA BHARADWAJ: The thinnest and tall girl from Abu Dhabi, she is the most fun loving person. She blurts out all in her head to anyone and does not fear the consequences at all!

KANCHAN PATIYAL: The ‘star-model’ of our batch, she is known as ‘chinki’. A hockey player, she is proud to be a sportsperson. Simple in her words yet effective in conveying her thoughts.

KANCHARANA HARINI: The only ‘South-Indian’, yet she adjusts well to Hindi speaking people. She has got the ‘Rapunzel’ hair and is proud to be its owner.

SHAILLEY RAJ: A great writer and a dancer too. She is straight forward when she speaks and otherwise stays shut. She is the one known for her beautiful long hair.

Lastly, myself, SAKSHI RASTOGI:

This is what some of them had to say for me...

TARUNA: "The gal with brilliant and creative mind.... her horse like laugh is famous with all of us...!! Moreover she is a sincere lit club member... (this blog proves the fact)"

ARPITA: Having the world famous devillish 'hassin' which echoes in the entire
girls' hostel, sakshi is always busy with something or the other -be it
studying, working for the literary club, writing articles, composing
poems, programming, dancing...truly a 'jill' of all trades.

TARINI: She is one of the most lively girls of the batch bringing a smile on of our faces by her trademark ‘hasin’ and always striving towards improving herself and trying to be a better person each second and lastly I know her to be a person who is scared of no one. These words do not appear in her dictionary. Her dictionary is just full of smiles and a hearty laugh.

POOJA:She is self explainable simple and straight forward person who always has the spirit to do all the things....sum of course out of her capabilities (hey just joking)....She is very helping ,a great friend and the only person (i can bet on it ) in whole IIITA to laugh so whole heartedly...
