The Laughter Precursor

So continuing with the last post, this post is about a pretty integral part of our group. Before i begin...let me just say that i am NOT writing these posts to make me or any of my friends emotional (although i know that is something that is just not possible). I am writing this only to make a record of what my thoughts are about my friends. Maybe this is like for reference in future...or maybe after 15 years if i forget some things i will open this site and laugh again...

So this post is about Mr. Kushal Gurunath Sukthankar...yepp...that is his full name for people who do not know...

I remember meeting suktya (that is what we call him..more on his zillion or so names later) for the first time in college...he was this short, small faced, dishevelled haired, and hairy guy (BELIEVE me on this last part...there is a reason he always wears full sleeved shirts). And frankly, he is still the same, except maybe he has more hair now, has a pretty huge paunch and is getting woozier by the day.

Suktya is the eternal casanova (or so i thought..until he started failing in all his ENDEAVOURS)...he always tries SO FREAKING HARD to flirt....we (Pranay and I..more on him in another post) had this joke that suktya will flirt with anything that moves....and we mean ANYTHING...LOL..

The long list of his romantic ambitions are legendary..he still gets a lot of flak for all the times he has tried to patao some or the other gal....and its always so freaking hilarious to watch him land on his face...dont mind dude....this post is quite a honest opinion of what i have seen you do...please dont mind...

Suktya has this knack of saying things that are intended to hurt someone else or take someone else's case..but end up degrading his standard like anything...I mean get this...one of his most awesome quotes was..."Main khud kee nahin sunta toh tum log meri kyun sunteho..."...HOW can u be so freaking DUMB!!!!!

He also once said..."Main anyways bina soche kuchh bhi bol deta hoon"...and u can trust our group to remind him of his words again and again...

Suktya has this way of walking, he will bend backwards...throw his paunch out...his arms will be about 3-4 inches away from his body...and he will walk like he has muscles of Arnold Schwarzenegger..flailing his arms to and fro....just looking at him walk makes you wanna throw your head back and roar with laughter...or punch him in the face and repeat step 1...

Suktya's expressions are legendary...once he was walking behind me and Tea-Le (Save this for another post...)Suktya hit Tea-Le on the head...Tea-Le turned intending to hurl the choicest cuss words on Suktya...but just seeing the pathetic smile and kiddish expression on his face, we both burst out laughing....Suktya is a total kid...someone who behaves like a total jerk in a few situations...but he also has the uncanny ability to be understanding sometimes...and that is something i have expreienced a LOT of...especially through a very hard time of my life..

I remember all the awesome times we guys had as part of The Brotherhood (maybe a seperate post later...man i m lining them up...)..all the crazy nightouts at Suktya's place were the most memorable ones...i especially rememeber the one time Suktya Pranzy and I were up till 6 talking some serious shit....Suktya has this ability of keeping secrets too...and he hides them well...even his own...he is mostly a closed book actually...not a great thing i wud say but it works for him...

Now for the funniest part about suktya...well its his names...as i mentioned...we have a zillion or so names for him...and they keep coming up every week...i remember there was this time when we would come up with a name for suktya almost every other day...in first year Technovanza (our Annual Tech Fest) we named him...bouncer...coz of his black gogs and the way he would man the security gates...then we named him robo...i do not remember how this one came up though...guys please refresh my memory...then we named him Robo BP....please do not ask the full form...its not mentionable...we came up with this on the way to matunga station and i remember laughing all the way home about this...

We also created a fictitious superhero titled GHONCHU...played by suktya of course...he had for his accessories a pair of goggles, bluetooth headphones and he was dressed ONLY is black underwear made of cement...(this last part was K2's addition of course...)the entry was on the op of the Dome in the VJTI quad...it was one of the most hilarious jokes we ever made up...

Lets talk about his flirting abilities...well he has NONE...he thinks he does...but well...he DOESN'T (dude get the hint...) because of all the various crushes and link ups and trials...he has had various names... like A**** cha pikachu (ROFL...)..V***** cha pikachu....and other pretty hilarious ones....he was also called IT ki Gaddar Aulaad and Comps ki Najayaz Aulaad..both coz he used to hang out in the comps class more than the IT class in 2nd year...and everyone knows why...

The train incident with Suktya's neighbour is also a stuff of legends...i remember how uncomfortable he was talking to a girl in front of us...and we din't make it any easier by singing "Dost dost naa raha" when he got off at the station with her..LOL..

Suktya is also pretty phattu...i mean he just loses it at times...i remember two incidents..one was during the climb down from matheran...there was a tricky part and he was pretty scared...you could see on his face that somethings had shot up into his mouth....another one was when Karani Sir had questioned him about his attendance...he had repeatedly scratched his chin (where he used to keep a small beard...the style wannabe that he is) and said.."Sir...but i sat quite a few lectures Sir" LMAO....

There have been many talks about his sexuality too....the lack of it thereof...i mean some girl came up to him and said..."Kushal...You can't do anything"(although in a completely different reference)...but we still interpreted it as the lack of....well you get the point...Suktya has been called gay....people claim there has been substantial proof of it too...but i want to think those rumours are baseless...atleast i would like to say this on a public domain like the Internet

Ok i know Suktya might be steaming around the ears on this last para...but dude NO post about you is complete without a mention of this...and u know it...

Well now suktya is off to the US...and we have all begged him to change his mannerisms and hair style before going there...i mean dude...you are going to represnt VJTI man...have some sense of basic style atleast....

I will end this post by saying Thanx to him...for providing so many opportunities to rag him and take his case...for being such a dork that helped us to pick on you...for letting some of the most well kepped secrets to lie dormant...and for being a Precursor to so many Laughs...
