1. The Girl who wears Mr. India’s watch: Her hostel mates saw her only twice, a) on the day of hostel admission and, b) on the day when she vacates her room. No one knows a thing about her, and no one seems to be interested in cracking the mystery.
2. The Diet Keeper: Whether she loses her weight or not she is always on a diet. More than the names of her classmates she knows the calorie content of soft drinks. Waka, waka!
3. The Brother among the Sisters: In other words the tomboy, she dresses like a boy, she walks like a boy, she acts like a boy, she talks like a boy. Nevertheless, she is not superficial and is real fun to be with.
4. The Feminist: She knows her theory, she does not hate men but she is often misunderstood. She raises the question for the better hood of women but her voice is often neglected by her own species.
5. The Business Executive: She is always selling something or the other, ranging from chips to lipsticks, clothes to scandals, she is sweet but rude when bargaining. Be good to her, someday Forbes list might just put her up as the most successful business woman in the world. We never know.
6. The Religious Mentor: Don’t know why we are using the word ‘religious’ here, for she is more of a moral science teacher. She has high moral principles, works fine if she is not a hypocrite. Some girls will love and follow her, some will discard her for being a high-level moralist. Some might think there is an aura which fills her, but for some, it is just another ‘get real girl’ moment.
7. The Five-Year Planner: She is always like, ‘Next year I am planning to do this and that, and in the next to next year this and that.’ She is a planner with lots of plans, wish her the very best.
8. The Fatal Female: She is a blooming enchantress, her one look is enough to erect a man’s queue near the hostel gate. She is a deadly atom, often girls consider her as a threat, and for guys, she is a fantasy. However, if she is a venom then she has her antidote too.
9. The Librarian: Have we heard of a hostel mate whose favourite hangout place is the library? Yes, we have. Well, she need not to be in nerdy reading glasses to know the library like Jack Sparrow knows the sea. It is a blessing to have a roommate like her, for she is always out of the room.
10. The Singer: She sings pretty well in a bathroom, but when she is requested to sing in gatherings, she is all shy. Sometimes, out of nowhere we will hear her voice, her off-tune might sound a bit scary but she is the guarantee that we are not the only odd one in the hostel.
11. The Patient: ‘How are you?’ and the reply we get is, ‘I am having a headache,’ the next day, ‘How are you?’ and the reply is, ‘I am having a toothache.’ Our question may be same but her answers will be different. After knowing her, we will realize why the saying, ‘health is wealth,’ makes sense.
12. The Social Worker: She is going for a big deal like winning a Nobel Peace Prize. She keeps an eye on the workings of the hostel whether it be the dirty plates on the mess floor or the smelly toilets or the staircase or garden or the gate or the colours of the curtain or the hole in the television set. Salute!
13. The Girl with Issues: She has a problem with everything and everyone. She is terribly rude to everyone, her face says the tale of a girl who have never seen a rainbow. It is difficult to adjust with her, she has hardly or no friends. Does it cost us anything if we are nice to her? Nope, so let’s tolerate her.
14. The Sports Champion: She might not be a champion but yeah she engages in sports of various kind. Her athletic figure is enviable, but the smell of her socks are not too delightful for her roommates’ nostrils.
15. The Drama Queen: How can a hostel be a hostel without a drama queen, she is the beat that gives harmony to the haunted land. She creates a mountain out of a molehill, her cries can be heard from the staircase, her laughter can be heard at strange hours, she screams, yells, shouts, creates scenes but everything about her is entertaining.
16. The Die Hard Romantic: Girls like her is the reason why romance fills the air and sells well in the market. Open her closet and one will find more M&B novels than clothes. She loves Karan Johar, it is easy to select birthday gifts for her, meaning? Simply pick up one of the DVDs which has Katherine Heigl in it.
17. The Bride in Waiting: As a young girl, she might have played house-house where she was the bride ready to grab all the attention, then she grew up, the role remained the same but her idea of wedding got bigger and so was the discussion about her wedding. She might bore her fellow hostel mates but her ideas are phenomenal.
18. The serial ‘My Heart Got Broken’ Victim: It is not a disease, it is a condition, and she suffers from that condition. She is always the victim of bad romance, at first, we might console her, but when it happens for the 23rd time we are left with nothing rather than to say, ‘Tell us something new.’
19. Messy-Lazy-Busy-Missy: Her room reminds us of Aamir Khan’s room in Ghajini. The dusty floor, the cobweb flying on the ceilings, the scattered clothes, books and shoes here and there, looks like a tsunami has hit the room. This lady is messy may be/ because she is lazy or busy.
20. The Serial/Movie Addict: Not a day goes without watching the movie or serial she plans to. If there is a television hall in the hostel then she has the best attendance. The same plot by Ekta Kapoor manages to fool her over and over again. And when it comes to the movie, it is either first-day first show or she finds refuge in her 2000 GB external hard disk.
21. The Gossip Queen: The most interesting character in the hostel. She is better than Reuter, she knows all the happenings and not so happenings in the campus. It does not mean that she does not have anything better to do, it means she knows what exactly she is doing. Her mouth is more powerful than the nuclear power. Be careful of her.
22. The Fashion Diva: Matching x nail polish, lipsticks, shoes, hairbands, carries bags which are in vogue, everyone admires her sense of style. Her dresses are sometimes hers, sometimes borrowed from others. She is the map to the shop which has off season sale. She has stocked more fashion magazines under her bed than her academic books. By the way, if there is Fashion Quiz in the university then she is the best partner to make us win the competition.
And I'm curious which category you are in!
