Here is Kingshuk Das a.k.a. Bengali. He was called so because he was the only bengali fellow in the hostel. Add to that, he looks like a typical bengali too.
In our hostel, we had something called a 'night canteen'. It was an arrangement in the mess where we could get eats like maggie, biscuits, milk, tea etc. at night after dinner. It started around 10-30 PM till around 12 AM. That was the time most people got hungry and most of the time, like always, no one had anything to eat.
A typical scene at night.
In my room-
Bengali: chal, contri(contribution) mei maggie khaa ke aate hain!
Me (happy that bengali is actually talking about spending his money): chal!
Maggie costed 15 bucks in the night canteen.
After this
Me: paise nikaal...
Bengali gives me a two rupee coin, saying: ye meri contri!
Me---> standing their bewildered! Deciding whether to kick his ass or simply laugh.
And yes, I almost always had to pay the rest of the 13 bucks.
Bengali is now doing an MBA in HR from TISS, Mumbai and having the time of his life. Miss you bro!

Keshi.
This was what Jappo/Jayant said - a slighly edited version ;) -
As anirudh perfectly said that Bengalis contribution to the whole deal was mere 10%, but this guy had the art of finding new ppl evryday to treat him. The list was long Anirudh, Kanishk, Sahil, Pappu,.......,.... and me too.
Things have changed now some Bengali female "has entered Bengalis life and this poor guy (bengali) treats her with exotic chinese food, drinks and desserts and pays the bill himself without any contribution.
This is another sweet discovery :) Was there at Tiss on 18th for interviews of this batch...
Wish i had read the blog earlier :)
