For those who think they have seen everything the world had to offer, Octa is god’s way of telling you “Got you, sucker!” Octa’s antics are legendary around campus and evoke memories of days when logic and tact actually meant something. His stubbornness clouds every shred of logic his mind can lend support to. What with him going around campus saying people who have girlfriends must be stupid. How can guys talk for more than 2 minutes with any girl? This macho façade however, doesn’t stop him from burning the midnight oil to do “favours” for girls. Now don’t get me wrong – I meant writing SOP’s and completing their projects. It also doesn’t matter to him one bit that the girls he tries to hit on already have boy friends!
Octa can be extremely sweet at times. Like this one time, when he took a Dreamy Damsel he’s had his eye on for a while to Hazratganj and bought her whatever she wanted, only on his fathers credit card!
His biggest regret to date has been that he is not an Australian. He worships anything Australian and has been known to support their cricket team to worlds end. The only thing that could have made him change his unpatriotic ways was 500 people baying for his blood when Australia LOST to India. He thought long and hard about the repercussions of continuing to support the Aussies when hiding from the murderous crowd in his toilet. Could he risk being lynched and retain his ideals? Or was his life more important? When faced with questions such as these, men have been known to falter. But not Octa. He decided to save himself by using the oh, so fortunate Symonds – Harbhajan altercation to his advantage and switching loyalties.
This came to light on one of his famous drinking binges at an insti party while listening to his favourite Punjabi & Hindi music. Octa is known to get high by just holding on to the vodka bottle. These are times when one doesn’t expect Octa to propound or confess anything, given he has no time in between running around in circles and doing the bunny hop to Himesh Reshammiya. This revelation was also followed by him accepting to logging in to 40 computers in the CC just so that he could cast his vote for Ponting against Sachin in an online poll on Blondie.
When he got to know about his confessions the next morning, Octa went into depression and leant on his true love for support – Orkut. He started forming communities like “I don’t mind crying” and “I love my therapy” to reach out to other aggrieved souls like him.
There are many more facets to Octa – his incessant cribbing about company presentations and double dips, but that my friends, is another story.
