Actually you know, he’s been the President of the college Students' Union and the President of the English Literary Society (we're sorry, but he came virtually unopposed both times). Mr.Fresher 1999. Straight from Loyola, Jampod with an eye for the fairer sex and a mouth to dispel any favorable impression you may have of him. Bose manages, in an uncannily consistent manner, to either confuse or frustrate any and all who venture to communicate with him. His other eye (the one not on the fairer sex) is concentrated on locating any garment sales in the locality which he will purposefully visit, only to discover every time that upto 50% off on Nike does not mean 50% off on all items of Nike. Disgruntled, Bose now eyes the street vendor and his collection of attire.

Finding the prices considerably lower, he happily purchases all that he can hold, or in the event of a friend accompanying him (which I must say I have had the misfortune of doing on several occasions) all that his accomplice can hold. Having satisfied his fetish for purchasing apparel, Bose will now search for means to appease his craving for jalebis, with what little money is left between the both of us. Owing to his rather extravagant lifestyle and his friends’(read yours truly) rather moronic sympathy for his condition, Bose is usually in debt.

Famous Bose Quotes -
"So what if my train reached later than yours. Pahunche to ek hi jagah na?"
"I dug my key in the ground before leaving for home so I wouldn't lose it... but I forgot where I dug it."

Very aptly put in the clandestine publication 'The Times' we find Bose under the column of 'sources of inspiration'
The following quote is from the article -

“....if Bose can...you can too...”
(Most common reason stated for questions of the “Why do you think you can…” variety, such as –
“Why do you think you can…
1.Be Mr.Fresher?
2.Be ELS President?
3.Be college President?
4.Have a girlfriend?

Ans. “If Bose can, so can we”….
(kudos to Yan Can Cook for the inspiration)
