S01E09:The Ex-Gossip Gals

So we have come to the end of the year and also towards the end of the first season. In the posts that follow we shall tell you about where the entire cult of gossip started. The present gossip gals wouldn’t have come into existence until and unless they had inherited their gossiping qualities from their ancestors,the ex-gossip gals. So here goes our first one.

Bhau or commonly known as Bhope-Tope, was the greatest poker player in the institute and he had held the record of losing the maximum number of matches in the institute with experts as well as novices. Bhau claimed that his R&D team was the country’s finest R&D team and its headquarters were located under the basketball ground of RP hall which had a secret entry from the mess and where he had many secret missions and projects of national and international importance going on.Though the ASI have dug the entire ground but never found one, Bhau still claims that finding it is way beyond human perception.

People say that he sat for the GD of Deloitte in his jeans and his t-shirt and still managed to qualify for the next round.Bhau was a techno-geek and after his joining in Deloitte, the company has lost 50 GBs of RAM from their computers till date. He even managed to unlock his laptop by swiping his finger on the screen of his laptop rather than on the touchpad. Such was the extent of his geekism.

His wingies often complained that their shirts from hangers went missing from their rooms and often Bhau was spotted wearing them. Bhau often took bath once in a semester since he was deeply affected by the ad shown in Doordarshan which he saw in his childhood which showed a family wasting water washing their buffoloes and leaving their taps open and later their mausi scolding them.As Budhdha had his enlightement, Bhau had a similar one after seeing this particular ad. The ad advised people to save water and had the tagline“Boond boond saagar bharta hai”.

Recently we came to know that he has gone in a deep sense of shock on hearing that Nitu has been placed in Deloitte too and has planned to quit his job. Since Nitu and Bhau had similar qualities(Both were computer geniuses and both took bath once in a semester), Bhau decided to give his entire property(one beanbag)to his successor and that was exactly how the legendary beanbag came to existence.
