Aniket Dasgupta – Idiot / Founder & Editor-at-Large (aniket@dfuse.in)
Aniket is the source of inspiration behind the characters of Barney, Ted and Marshal from How I Met Your Mother. However, he is actually a cross between Lily and Robin. He is multicultural and loves making racist jokes on the rest of his family. Also, he is one of the reasons for the dumbing-down of the human race – the other being his best friend Nimitt Dixit who is a Nobel Laureate just like Aniket.
Rohan Kapoor – The Official Stud / Creative Director (rohan@dfuse.in)
Rohan is half Punjabi and half Gujarati which makes him a lethal combination of food and… food? He hates walking and will pay you to carry him from his living room to his bed room. This could mean two things – either you own a crane or you are The Incredible Hulk.
Lipi Mehta – Weird Tall Girl / Editor-in-Chief (editor@dfuse.in)
Lipi is an over-rated milk addict from Gujarat and hence, her weird vertical growth. Also, where else would you find a name like ‘Lipi’? Actually she’s a pretty nice girl and collides with ceilings often. She calls it ‘head banging’ and others just laugh along feeling bad for her.
Swathy Sethumadhavan – Arabian Knight / Features Lead (WTH) (swathy@dfuse.in)
Swathy is an ex-camel racer from Dubai who was later replaced by robot riders a few years back. Nah! We just like cooking these outrageous stories up. Actually, she’s an NRI from Dubai who now lives in Pune. Her daily activities range from trying to speak in Hindi to figuring whether the auto-rickshaw guy is taking her for a ride.
Anurag Banerjee – Bouncer / Features Lead (in.sight) (anurag@dfuse.in)
When Anurag is drunk, he can’t differentiate between right and wrong, male and female, chair and table, truth and fable. He isn’t any better when he’s sober. However, he loves taking photographs of everything that surrounds him and tends to question his sexual orientation at numerous instances.
Rajdip Ray – Kaalia / Chief Reviewer (Movies) (rajdip@dfuse.in)
Rajdip Ray wanted to be a lawyer and later, a journalist. He’s back to being a lawyer now and thus, has even left college to gain some peace of mind (or so he says). He loves black and is quite synonymous to the color itself. He displays a strange affection for chicks from the DU who are way out of his league. Like Barney Stinson, he tries to woo them with magic tricks. However, unlike Barney, he never gets lucky.
Arjun Rajkishore – Mojo Jojo / Features Lead (Music) (arjun@dfuse.in)
Arjun is a South Indian super hero (Super Hero ID: Mallu Man). He loves throwing coconuts and appam stew at people who do not understand his gift (i.e. his hair). Apart from his drum kit that you are not allowed to touch, Arjun himself does not mind being touched by either of the sexes.
Neha Joshi – Princess of Go-ah! / Features Lead (Dscribe) (neha@dfuse.in)
Neha is a self-confessed BlackBerry addict whose academic brilliance is a little short of Albert Einstein’s. Secretly, she wants her own celebrity cooking show but we’re not sure how she’s going to fit on a TV screen (vertically!). You might spot her with her wayfarers at Goa’s most colorful carnival and then see her acing college doing what she loves best – writing!
Apoorva Gavarraju – Dough Nut / Features Lead (Counter Culture) (apoorva@dfuse.in)
Apoorva’s claim to fame is the fact that no one could spell her surname correctly at the Inter-Galactic Spelling Bee Championship. If given a choice, she could pack all her things and live in a cinnamon doughnut. Most people are in awe of her because she can sing, dance and write (sometimes at the same time!) and well, she gets it all right. The other half are just wondering why she refuses free chocolate brownies all the time. After all, who the hell hates chocolate, right?
