Rakesh Ranjan or 'Uncle' as he is aptly called is certainly one of the most interesting people one could find in my wing(I cudn't think of a better diplomatic word, ......pun intended). Be it the early morning songs that he plays on his dabba(computer in iitk lingo) or the bihari accent with which he speaks of some Paul Coehlo stuff(yes, he do try some philosophy some times, kudos to his astounding pseudo("uncle this is not my opinion" ) mighty intellects) he holds our attention. The perfect entertainer be it the mess or the wing bulla(iitk lingo for wing chat), anytime somebody feel bored all he has to do is to go out and hang with our dearest, mightiest, sexiest uncle(woaa woaa wooahhhhh you are getting it all wrong, it doesn't really happen it the way you imagine it to be, since Uncle normally doesn't seems to enjoy the whole bullying process) When I came to IITK and was in my first years I find him one of the most adorable guys in our wing because of his simplicity, non-shrewd behavior and hard working capability(I am serious this time). However, lately he have irritated me a couple of times, I remember few days back I borrow his some silly magazine and then when day he came to my room yelling at me asking for the same(ok it wasnt really yelling but kind of pseudo yelling, I guess uncle is kind of too much in this whole 'pseudo' thing) and I got really pissed off then, he never apologized for the incident. We got no problem these days though, and things are going as fine as ever. I don't know once I will be out of this place(iitk) how many people will I stay in touch with but whenever I will think of the old days, he will definitely share some space in my mental construct. Wish you luck for your life man.
