I always thought I'll write a blog, but I never had any strong reason that drove me to sit in front of the comp, recalling all arbit things and writing them. This time, I have a good reason to write this one.
Our weightlifting seniors are passing out of the insti- Jumper, Koted, Madhu, Guruji, Gobind.... All of them too good, too strong... These are the guys who were Gods in the gym...
Ashith Paulson A.K.A Jumper
A legend in our insti... There are lots of guys in our insti who never knew him, but still, they just heard the name and they know we're talking about the big guy, the strongest guy in the insti. He was our insti weightlifting captain. 75+ kg of Strong bone and muscle... He tried to break the inter IIT record in weightlifting.. unfortunately, he failed in his third attempt of Clean and Jerk... Never mind, we people know he could have easily done that. Mr. IIT 2008, Mr. IITM 2009(ob max) and the biggest one- Second in Mr. Kerala(Juniors)
That was something official about Jumper.... He's not just that. Yesterday, I was talking to a friend of mine who rarely attended our NSO classes. I told him Jumper's passing out, he's already left. The reply was, "Oh, nice guy". If I have to mention one person who's most responsible for me getting into the team, it's Jumper...
And when junta booze, only God knows what he's talking about. Usually a kind of reserved guy, but after he boozes, he's this senti type guy.... Loves to headbang to SOAD after booze. Right now, he's in Bangalore, working for Airbus.
Om Prakash A.K.A Koted(and I sometimes call him Commandos)
The "Guru" or the philosopher. If someone has some problem, believe me, Koted had already been through it. He puts the best fundaes related to booze or girls. The 'jolly' kind of guy, but you'd definitely hate to see him get angry. Luckily, I never pissed him off.
Now, if we talk about his sporting talent, he was in insti footer, insti hockey and not to mention insti weightlifting. Rumours exist that even the biggest guys in the insti are scared when they have to attack against him or defend him in footer. Heard he injured this huge guy when playing footer, just a push with his elbow and that guy fell down.... Facts or rumours, they just mean he is "the" strong guy. Jumper and Koted are guddu friends. He's now in Chennai, got a job here.
Madhu A.K.A Prof ( I don't think anyone calls him that.. )
Mr. Nice Guy. He was the insti powerlifting captain.. Very strong. He's this stud guy who has a nice CG, who has some research papers to his name and then puts an app to a high funda university and then is one of the strongest guys in the insti. A "pure" kind of guy- doesn't booze. Very sensitive and doesn't pain anyone.
Sambit A.K.A Guruji
A very biiig guy. Tall and huge(or fat if you wanna put it that way). This guy starts weightlifting and in a month or so he's lifting some 60-70kg peacefully. A very good cook as his orkut profile photos suggest. There always used to be this NSG discussion between Guruji and Koted- something like they showed this on TV about those guys and they killed these arbit goons and all... Has a great sense of humor and we have a great time whenever he's active on our google group (a group for weightlifters at IITM, and we're damn lucky to have seen his hi-funda posts, esp some pics, which unfortunately cannot be shown here).. And forgot to mention, he is "The God of Back Pains" :D
Gobind
I don't know if he has an insti name, all of us call him Gobind, some call him Gobi... All I can say is he's a nice guy, and as obvious from the context, a strong guy. During the main camp for Inter IIT ( when we do nothing but eating, crashing and weightlifting (other 'inevitable' stuff is always there ) ), I always used to call or put a message calling him for practice and he usually turns up late, comes with a sleepy face and then says Sambit has some arbit back pain and he won't be coming....
