College nicknames

Some of the nicknames people come up in college are .. creative or not, but very funny. Here's a sampler from my college days:

1) Feature of the person: Round-faced
Real name: who cares
Nick-name: Golu


2) Feature of the person: Lot of body hair, so much so that some of us suspected that mosquitoes never bit him
Real name: who cares
Nick-name: Bhaloo (bear)


4) Feature of the person: Round faced and chubby
Real name: who cares
Nick-name: Mogli
(In case you don't know what Mogli means, here's a video)




5) Feature of the person: Don't know
Real name: who cares
Nick-name: Bageera
(right, the jungle book finishes right there)



6) Feature of the person: Used to sing a certain forgettable song from a certain Shahrukh Khan movie called Raam-Jaane
Real name: who cares
Nick-name: Raam-Jaane

To help you understand how melodious the song was, thought I'll get something from youtube (note: I do not endorse the video - I haven't even dared to watch 2 seconds of it; Raam-Jaane, the father of a baby girl by now, may still have the courage to endorse):




7) This one is not from my college; it's a guy from IIT Madras (1998 graduating batch)
Feature of the person: A name that has the initials - H. S. N.
Real name: who cares
Nick-name: Haseena

For those of you who don't know what a haseena means, thought I'll help you with a video song of the most popular 'haseena' song that I am aware of:




8) Feature of the person: Resembled stock broker Harshad Mehta

9) Feature of the person: Unwelcome guest in your dorm room
