It's 2 O'Clock in the bloody night man. My brain is figuratively not working. If I had said literally, then I wouldn't have been able to write this shit down. But if I am feeling this right, you have already understood by now that I don't have much to say and all this is just filler text. But then again, I might be going somewhere with this.
Pat yourself on the back. You were right, I couldn't think of anything to write.
Not one to brag, but the past few months (since the last Wall Of Fame - and if you haven't read that then your face looks like manly hairy genitals) have been pretty insane for us. How you ask? Many ways, we say. We have been touching new frontiers every day. This time literally. And crossing them the next day. Again, literally.
And all this would not have been possible without the help of these minblowing people.....
An aspiring filmmaker, a good writer and just very efficient in general. Shahid is our sub-editor (intern) from Mumbai.
His work is effing good (his article has broken all the previous records of traffic on whackk), but it's not his work that impresses us. It's the style that we love. Shahid has an absolute machine like efficiency about him. No fuss, no delays, no nonsense.
Simply put, he is the exact opposite of the 'other' sub-ed from Delhi. And that is a welcome change. He's a man of few words and we're only used to over-talkative blabber-boxes. So, honestly, we used to get shit scared of the dude.
We still do.
Neither one of us were too keen on writing this testimonial for her.
No, not that we don't love her. We adore her!
it's just that we're so tired of her scribbling "I'm so sexy." "I'm the sex bomb." on our walls/chats/texts that our fingers revolt against typing out any praise for her.
Still I try.
Priyam is the most outspoken, talented and dramatic writer here. She is also our sub-editor (intern) from Delhi. She's the perfect example of the 'work hard, party harder' ethic.
She has always received the princess treatment at Whackk! and apparently that still ain't enough for her. She wants to marry one of the owners (yes, us). She can't make up her mind on which one though.
Also, she makes absolutely hilarious blunders. It was actually this much needed comic presence in our lives that made us hire her as the sub-ed intern.
Your technical horrors notwithstanding, we love you Saha!
Poshin belongs to the elite class of 'two time wall of famers' at Whackk! He is now our Pubicist (intern).
Earlier we only knew Poshin for his love of cricket and the Australian accent. Now we know him for the way he deals with people, companies much above him in age and experience. With sheer class and maturity. His prim and propah ways charm most of them into a well laid Whackk! trap of multi milllion dollar deals. OK, maybe not. I just realised how cool 'Whackk! Trap' sounds.
Honestly, we did have a few initial doubts about Poshin interning as the publicist thanks to his inexperience. But once the dude with an unmistakable southern accent came into his own, we were left mega impressed.
Now, he is a pillar of strength at Whackk, and will hopefully always stay so. Yes mate?
Sandhya triples up as a part time student of B.A. (Hons) English, part time intern here at Whackk! and part time lover of Priyam Saha.
This 19 year old who sounds like a 10 year old is our second publicist (intern). Also, she is from Delhi. And a friend of Priyams (who is unfortunately getting too much footage in this edition of our wall of fame) and hence as obnoxious (OK, too strong a word that one) and blabber-mouthy as her. Plus, she has an obsession with potty. Which is a lot more disturbing than our fetish for exclamation marks!!!!
She gets on any job given to her with surprising alacrity. Except the ones she has made up her mind to never finish. She won't do it even after receiving the silent treatment. You know which one I am talking about Sandhya, don't you?
In one of the interviews conducted by her, a certain guy from a band asks her to sing for them as she has a "beautiful voice". Hahaha, these Delhi guys I tell you. She sounds like a kid for crying out loud!
All said and done, she has been extremely helpful and we are glad we selected her and brought her on as an intern!
Her blurb on the site says, "I'm a bored coffee slugging cynic, who wants to be a wishy washy green tea sipping believer. Music is great. :)." This either means she is a hipster or a wannabe hippie.
That blurb probably does not make sense to most of you reading this out there.
Whenever we talk to her, most of what she says does not make any sense to one of us. While, the other just pretends to understand her.
Music lover, movie lover, coffee lover, LOTR lover, Lion King lover and overall a-lot-of-things-lover, Mahima is one of the funniest writers on Whackk! who makes our Facebook walls pretty by constantly posting some nice songs. That sounds kinda gay. I know.
She is also the person who told you Neal Caffrey and the guy playing Gandalf are gay. That reminded most of our readers the time they learnt Santa Claus isn?t real. WHY MAHIMA WHY!!!???!! YOU ARE A MONSSSSTTTTEEERRRR!!!
Superman!
Yes, that's him. Omkar is one of those dudes that we all love to hate. He is a go-getter. This guy cracked a 1450 in GRE and still wasn't celebrating. The very next day he started preparing for the CAT and by the looks of it, he is well on his way to cracking that up as well.
And that's not it. He goes on to be extremely humble about it too, not to forget, he possesses a wickked sense of humour!
His articles need the minimal amount of time and effort to be edited. His grammar/diction and writing is THAT perfect.
How're you so perfect.... MOFO!!
I hate you!
Like I love you!
OMG, I did not just say that.
This chick from the newer *cough*fake*cough* version of Mumbai - Navi Mumbai is currently held captive in a sad college down south. You should read her hostel-ites rant. You really should.
Oh and she originally hails from Assam. That mostly covers the whole of India, no?
With a name like Geetashree Hazarika, you will be surprised to know hers is not the longest name among the Whackk! wall of famers (refer to the first wall of fame). She comes a close second.
Geetashree/Geet/Geeta is also a brilliant fiction writer. Although we don't allow her to write THAT kind of awesomeness for Whackk! when you do get a chance, try to check out her stuff. Or ask her for some of her short stories. If you are nice enough she might just let you read one or two of those.
She started writing for us soon after the release of our second wall of fame and we really, really, really, really, really, really hope she is a part of the seventh wall of fame too. Or the seventeenth.
Karan, fondly called 'charsi' (no, not for the obvious reasons) in our circles, is the sole game reviewer at Whackk! Karan is one of our dearest friends and hence I can take the liberty to insult him here.
Or, lemme just be nice to him for once..
Needless to say, Karan is bigtime into games, gadgets etc etc. He doesn't speak much. He looks around, weighs the scene, and says that one line that will leave you in splits. Hot girls and a few of his guy friends really turn him on. That unfortunately includes the person writing this too.
Basically Karan is our man Friday for all sorts of things.
You need a bike : Karan
You need company for somewhere : Karan
You need cash : Karan
You need a game review : Karan
You need rubber :
Ok, I wasn't supposed to write that here.
Black tee, goatee and a gazillion Indian metal bands liked on Facebook. This guy is a textbook metalhead gone a leeeetle mad. But, what the heck we needed an in house metal guy and Dinesh was godsend!
I wasn't kidding about the gazillion Indian metal bands 'likes' man. You have to see his profile to believe it. He has liked bands from the Himalayas, Kanyakumari, obscure places in the north east,even more obscure places in the east and what not! He is also a one man news syndication army for these bands. You want mecthul news, Dinesh is your guy!
Being the lazy bums that we are, this chap is always pushing us to release his articles on time. Something we never do.
Dhanesh. This lucky chap (well-deservedly) gets to join the second-wall-of-fame-pe-featured club too. Taaliya bajaao for him plis.
The last time his name and foto got featured in one of these things he was working for some IT firm somewhere in the deserts of the middle east. I think.
Now, he is "doing" (refer to his blog for more on the quotation marks) his masters in the United States of America and thus believes he is superior to mostly everyone and is trying to get a fake American accent. Or is he?
Also he is hell bent on writing about NRIs and Indians in America and the eccentricities of Indians in general. Good stuff that.
A (hopefully) certain member of the Whackk! family for good. Much appreciated man.
Sonia is does book reviews for us.
?.and that's all we know about her.
But she's darned good at what she does. And she's the only writer to actually submit her articles on time. And that's all we can say about her. :P
