So I was at the gym the other day and I saw Manish on the bench doing dumbbell flies. I see Manish there more often than I expect to see anyone anywhere. It’s kind of scary. Legend has it that Manish can throw three disks at once, each with enough energy to break a car window. It’s been said that one time, he skied a car on Sheridan when he was crossing and it ran a red light. Someone told me that he once killed a lion with his bare hands and still wears its fur occasionally. He totally grabbed some dude’s red cow once and straight dipped with it, also caught a deer with bronze hooves. From what I’ve heard, he stole some apples from the Hesperides, captured Cerberus, killed a hydra, and was basically a god. It wouldn’t surprise me if he did leg day.
Dude has no chill, always putting in 110%. Goes 110% at the gym, 106% on classwork, 107% on cardio, 34% at the dining halls, and 103% on the Ultimate field. He truly is an Ultimate Player. On another note, Manish has a strong appreciation for classic hip-hop. You can catch this guy chillin’ to soft rap (yes, Manish, that’s what it is. It was actually putting us to sleep in the car on the way to MWTD) like Liquid Swords, Method Man, or Timbo King. He loves singing along to the Mulan soundtrack, he won’t sing along with anything else. I’m serious.
I don’t think I’ve met anyone my age who’s as serious and calm as Manish can be.
