E&ECE: Class of 1999
(IIT Kharagpur)

I'll introduce you to our batch:
While reading, don't miss any catch

It begins with Rajat , opener of our group;
So, he always led our troop.
        ("Soujanna mulak", meaning: for courtesy sake)

We had both serious and freak out kinds
Ayon and Tamal, with their creative minds.

Two Sujoys, one Niloy with rhyming names
Were always on popularity hall of flames.
    (Guptaji's bright discovery)

Shakti, the intelligent one in our lot
Vivek, ready to help whenever we sought.

Swaroop- Sharba, best friends from school days
And Amit with all his moody ways!

Yet another mix of Rahuls again,
Can make you happy, if you're in pain.

Gunashekharan, the hockey champion of our class
Swagatam and Koushik chose drama for time pass

Ashani's genius, backed with 13 hours of sleep
   (As confessed to Prof. C. R. Dasgupta)
Would delve into knowledge, sound and deep.

Another avid learner was Mainak himself;
While Serene's ways of life were hard to tell.
   (Apparently, she shocked (rocked) everyone by getting engaged)

The matured one in our batch was Pradip,
   (First one to marry)
And Muthaiya, who would never sleep!
   (Expect to get emails from him at midnight)

Shoubhik and Binayak were very subdued,
Making a point, never to be rude.
   (Most soft spoken people in our batch)

Shubhendu and Anshuman were also calm,
None of us saw them ever firm!
   (Not even when everyone teased them)

Lalan and Manoj with nice smiles around,
Bring joyous air to people they surround!
   (Always expect a smiley "Hello" from them)

And there was Gautam, the gullible kind
Serious about his studies and a sound mind.
   (He used to do a lot of social work)

Dev Shankar and Anupam, with looks alike
   (Initially, I would always confuse between them)
And Niraj, who on campus never rode a bike
   (Being in RK Hall, he never needed one)

Srinivas, was another "cat", with IQ soaring high,
While Sateesh's figure, could make anyone sigh!
   (Being a badminton player, he had the best built figure)

Sumanto was a copycat, as we could call him,
   (Famous for copying Serene)
And there was Arjun, better known as "Jim".

Timir was the one who never sat still
   (Always up to some mischief)
All our dedications to (guess who?) " Ms. Priya Gill"
   (Our dear "Psychology class beauty")
