Kirkland Signature Protein Bar

Post-winter break reunion and Secret Hitler game

Following their return from winter break on Sunday, January 4, 2026, the group coordinated a reunion to kick off the new quarter. The conversation began with Ani Chiplunkar sharing a photo of a Kirkland Signature Protein Bar variety pack, celebrating the return of the Cookies and Cream flavor. While Sidd Sai initially suggested playing pickleball, the group pivoted to a low-key hangout because Sathvik Sriram was recovering from a sports injury that made running painful. Sumit Mantri mentioned he was waiting for a ping pong net to arrive from Amazon the following day (January 5), so the group decided to meet at Adi Chatterjee’s place (referred to as "Hatter’s") once everyone returned to Davis. Sathvik and Anay Dagli arrived back in town around 8:30 PM, and the group eventually gathered to play an online session of Secret Hitler. There was a brief moment of humor when Sathvik told Adi to leave the game lobby temporarily until he actually arrived home. The tone of the exchange was enthusiastic and communal as the friends settled back into their school routine.
