Distinctive curly hair, an unhealthy obsession with words, paints and skies, and an eerily good memory for conversations and dates. Not to mention, a sense of humor that will leave your finger hovering over the block option. Shivangi is the kind of person who believes in making her people feel loved and appreciated. An (over?) ambitious dreamer, she clings to her diary and sticky notes which allow her to meticulously plan out every small step of her journey. While she prefers to listen more and talk less, she hopes to be able to use her voice to bring about a change and touch as many lives as possible. Usually lost in her own world, you can find her walking around with earphones blaring to drown out the world. Her idea of a good time generally involves amazing food, a cup of coffee and genuine people to make memories with. Bonus points if you can match her enthusiasm for true crime stories, bad puns and deep conversations.
When things go down, the only 911 you will need is Aieshel (or better known among her peers as Sera). A true fun loving Keralite who knows the lines to any Mohanlal reference EVER! She is an avid reader, calculated in her approach, pasta-loving treat of a human. She is spick and span, always present in the moment and ever ready to solve any kind of problem at any time. Her ability to grasp slight changes in a person’s cues gives her an upper hand to a more open communication and relation. Assuring, confident and responsible would be the perfect words to be associated with this charismatic leader. Besides an oozing enthusiasm for art and paintings, she is an okay-ish dancer who can set any stage on fire with her flailing arms. She is an overthinking hot pot with motherly instincts who can also rap to every verse to any Twenty-one pilot song ever. A genuine and compassionate individual who always makes it a point to be there for her people. Irrespective of the situation, you will always find Aieshel in complete control of her emotions and words. If you ever need someone to trust, someone who will always have your back, it is her. You can find her in Chai Cafe sipping tea and spilling tea every other evening.

If you hear someone singing at a volume of 100dB on campus, there’s a 99.69% chance that it’s her. She also believes that cutting her hair short will solve 99% of her problems. (I should stop speaking in percentages)
Garam chai ki pyali, baarish, and 90s Rahman songs in the background is precisely the vibe she strives to create every day.
Nikita, a GenZ-born millennial, would much rather spend an evening drawing in her room, watching sunsets with you, or baking muffins with you than going out all night.

She is a sharp observer, an incredibly hard worker, and she firmly believes that even seemingly insignificant things carry enormous significance.
Meet Subbulakshmi aka Sumi, an overachiever who strives for perfection (maybe in a little manic way) and is consistent with every task presented to her. An ambivert who talks excessively especially if a conversation involves a new show she binged over the weekend, a true crime documentary she watched in the late am, or anything related to Taylor Swift. Her humour is the perfect blend of dark filled with terrible puns and she will definitely make a playlist for you if you just nod approvingly at one song she has recommended. Her artistic skills range from digital art to her daily bullet journal to random sketches and everything in-between. Brownie points if you can match her enthusiasm about astronomy and if you can roll your R’s well.
