July 21, 2009 It was the summer of 2009 and another batch of dreamy eyed students had made it through the white gates of wrought iron into the prestigious IIT Delhi. For some it was a dream come true, for others it was just another step in the journey of growing up. But the fact that they were fresh, oozing to unleash themselves onto the world, was one unifying bond between them. They all knew they were on the cusp of something great! One amongst these were our Mr. Utsav Kaushal. A Hulky-Bulky lad from the city of Darbhanga in Bihar, he was coming to IIT Delhi as a fresher in the department of Chemical engineering on the back of the reputation of being one of the finest students at VMC. But his JEE rank had somewhat taken the sheen off of his illustriously growing name and fame and he had made a mental note in his mind that he would settle the things in the campus- once and for all. He was allotted room A9 in the famous Karakoram hostel of IIT Delhi. Karakoram was hence forth his home and he a Karaite – for life. And it was here that the surprises started to greet him… Enter Akshay Mittal Upon his entry in A9 Utsav was pleasantly surprised when he saw that instead of sharing space with two people, he would be required to do with only one. And he instantly became the envy of the entire wing, for everyone else had 2 other roommates as well. If this was the good news, the not so good news for Utsav was that he had dreamt of a dead serious Nerdy roommate, who would be creating inferno out of the books by the sheer speed of his going through them, only so that he could seek some inspiration from him and get over the horror showing of the JEE and what he got instead was probably the most chilled out Human he thought he had ever met. It wasn’t long before Utsav realised this thing and to his disappointment, Mr. Chill showed no signs of getting serious or even getting bothered at all by what was happening with the MAL or anywhere else. Many a times during the first week, while jerking off, Utsav had tried to console himself by the fact that Mr. Chill was still young at heart and it was only a moment of time before he would get over the “Yay-I cracked JEE” high and become serious in his quest for excellence in life! But alas, some things are never meant to be. Just like his plans of dating a girl, this too didn’t work out. But Utsav kept wishing, wishing for- An ideal room-mate – Sharp, incorrigibly genius, talented and helpful beyond anyone Utsav had seen before in the world, let alone the campus, and serious to the point of hell – one joke at the wrong time and you are dead! Basically someone who would inspire the rocks into life full of studying. Apart from this Utsav dreamt of some privacy to happily have his “Happy time” and also of a room-mate who knew all the awesome food locations in Delhi, so he wished that the guy be from Delhi only! But all this was only a dream, and he too knew that dreams hardly came true. So on the third Monday he in the campus, he returned to his room, dejected as he was always these days, to the sound of a stranger,” Hello, you must be Utsav?” He replied back in a surprised tone,” Yes and you?” “I’m Akshay, Akshay Mittal”
