Planning bowling and dinner for the week of Jan 12
The group discussed potential social plans for the week. Aneesh Bhardwaj proposed going bowling on Friday night, January 16, 2026, around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM. However, Andrew Dean Harrington noted he is unavailable on Friday. Sanjith Ponnusamy shifted the focus to getting dinner on Wednesday, January 14. While Sanjith and Andrew were both available for Wednesday dinner, Aneesh is not free that day. Jesus Ramos then suggested meeting on Thursday, January 15, which received more consensus; Aneesh and Chinomso Augustine both confirmed they are free after 8:00 PM on Thursday, and Sanjith also agreed to that day. The specific activity for Thursday (whether it would be bowling or dinner) remains unconfirmed, but the group appears to be gravitating toward a Thursday night hangout.
Bhangra TikTok and Gabru culture
Sidd Sai shared a TikTok link on the evening of Monday, January 12, 2026, noting with some excitement that it was the first Bhangra-related video to appear on his 'For You Page' (FYP) for the new year. Adi Chatterjee reacted to the content by calling it 'Artificial gabru,' using an affectionate emoji to comment on the style or authenticity of the performers in the video. This short exchange shifted the group's focus away from their earlier morning discussions regarding Thursday night plans and parkside outings.
Planning Thursday night outing at Parkside
Sumit Mantri initiated plans for the group to go out on Thursday, January 15, 2026, suggesting they meet up with another group. Adi Chatterjee initially declined because he is busy with Jhankaar rehearsals until 10:00 or 11:00 PM, and he mentioned he is currently recovering from a severe stomachache. However, after some banter with Sathvik Sriram, Adi eventually committed to joining the group to drink ('slosh') later that night. Sidd Sai and Ani Chiplunkar expressed interest in going as long as the majority of the group attends. Sathvik noted that because some members are under 21, the destination will likely be Parkside. There was a brief misunderstanding where Adi thought the group was planning activities like paintball, but the consensus shifted toward a night out at the bars or Parkside since many people are leaving on Friday for the long weekend. During the planning, Sidd Sai shared a tangent about witnessing a police car being towed, joking about the high cost to recover the vehicle.
