WE ARE THE GTs

Hi to all you surfers!! The GTs 97 are now entering the web to entertain - as they have done in the world outside.

The Members :     It is now my great pleasure to introduce my fellow GTs and myself to you. 

Ajay Pillai		The most sincere and work-inclined guy of our batch.
Deepak Khare		A Lucknowi. But perish the image of the traditional Urdu poeming Lucknowi. He is the modern Romeo-GT. Came here already a lover and for the next two years fought a hard battle from here with his Juliet's parents trying to put a happy ending to his love story. And spent almost 70% of his earnings in STD calls -and most of the times,we had to suffer by waiting for his calls to end. A very organized and dependable guy too. Happily, the love story has ended in smiles. Deepak was married to his Juliet,Sonu on the 09th of February, 2000. The new millennium has deprived the Bachelors of one of its valued members. Harsha, Sriram and Sathya represented the GTs at the wedding.
Harsha Vardhana		I wouldn't be too far wrong if I were to pick him out as the Jester of our gang. The Star joker of our group, the instant laugh-bringer and the dumbest guy possible. Never ever crack a joke to him- any flavor in it will be rinsed out clean and dry and you will have to sit wondering what was there about the joke you found so funny. And don't be surprised if he suddenly laughs out an hour later - it is his laugh at your hour-old joke !!! Imagines terribly - and lives mostly in dream world and has chosen a department where he can give full vent to his talents - none, except sleeping. Dont ever give him the option of making choices - it will be eternity before he can make up his mind, and you will have to spend the next eternity listening to his explanation on his grievances of having made a wrong choice. His antics in the GT house are now part of GT folklore. These will be recounted fully in the following updates. In a more serious vein, if ever our gang retains its shine and we all continue to keep abreast of each other's doings, the cause or the pivot of that will only be Harsha.
Irfan - Mohammed Irfran		The most obscene guy who ever lived. Perversity, thy name is Irfan!! A terrible expletive is never far from his mouth. Knows every four, five and six letter word that one is told never to utter - and he utters them freely. He is debonair when with members of the fairer sex - and he roams round in search of them. His misery is absolute when he has to spend the week in Tiruvallur which he coplains has few good "sights" for persons of his taste. But he tries to make the best of the oppurtunities he gets .
Krishna Kumar		Alias Kicha. A kind of guy who would say he saw the wildest possible tiger when all he had confronted was a street cat. A really excitable guy. And the most lovable guy of the gang also. A devout, God-believing (one of the rare cases in our gang) and religious guy, he makes annual trips to Sabarimalai - and gives way to all the expletives he had restrained during the pre-trip times.
Sathya		The fattest guy of the gang. As gluttons go, he takes the cake. Mention paneer and he is drooling all over the floor. Clean!! Even the word repels at the mention of his name and his shirts are standing proof of it. Whenever any of the GT's feel depressed all they do is think agony of the fourth button on his shirt just after lunch and will feel comparatively better off. He sings: if you could call it that. It leaves your ears ringing and your mind in a muddle. If he was born during Hitler's time, he would have been the most popular of the torturers of that time. So how does his singing leave him unaffected?? His ears are used to hold his glasses in place and have no other earthly use. So in all his wonderful bliss he continues his singing at the expense of others sanity. You would understand this when you know that he heard "Dil to Pagal Hai" as "Mc Kenna's Gold"!!!
Sriram		Hogger. Sapatraman. Thats him. Skeleton thin, he seems to be getting thinner all the time. Only God knows where the huge amount of food he eats goes. Not one to unduly hurry himself up, his gait resembles a person thrice his age. "Running" is not available in his directory - he can stretch to a slightly fast walk at best. I have mentioned that he is thin. And his appetite seems to be insatiable. Picture this. A heavy dinner. The rest of the gang squirming and complaining that they had had a bit too much but not Sriram. He rushes to the nearest Pop-corn counter and grabs a packet.And he is a born-arguer. Would be the initiator of the many heated debates that would cause sleepless nights to the neighbors - so loud would they be in volume.
Sivamani		Alias Mandaimani. "Mandai" is the popular term given to guys who very cleverly transfer the responsibility of cash payments onto the companions. Also, he has a reeeeaallly great knack of managing to get gifts from his friends, provided they are decent guys like us. He has a huge circle of friends- all girls, and they all seem to be great fans of Mandai. He is the inventor of the "Kurrr" - a pinch given when one is in the stage of "mub" - that semi-nirvana stage of half sleep and half-awake immediately after lunch. For Mandai, this period extends to almost all the hours of the day. Went on a real big diet once, refused to have cakes- only dry fruit milk shakes and paneer fingers. An expert singer of the dabanguthu songs, with which he enthralled all of us during our training period visits.
Vijay Bhaskar		One would assume that a orthodox Brahmin who performs his daily rites dutfully would be clean and would take a bath. Alas, but not so with this son of Trichy soil. He loves Trichy a lot. And he carries some of it on him as a token of remembrance. And believe it, he has a large enough surface area to carry it. As far as the phrase "putting your foot in your mouth" is concerned VB has developed a taste, a craving even for his foot. It seems to be almost permanently in his mouth. But his talent lies not in saying the wrong things, but in saying even worse things to explain his previous statements. Poor VB, is usually at the "butt" of most of the jokes in the gang and this is said in more ways than one. His worries include hair-loss!! A few more years and one would find it difficult to differentiate between his head and his rear end!!
Vivek		A GT no doubt; but the ideal job for him would be that of the guard at VGP golden beach. The one who will not flinch or show emotion whateve you do!! A ready wit, he can put down any one with just a sentence. His frequent visits to his hometown leaves Sriram drained of energy from buying the tickets each time. People cannot ridicule him about his paunch. That's because he has fat almost all over that one cannot differentiate the paunch.
