Prodigal Badboy Ponders Comeback

The legendary Joyanta Ragshit is contemplating a return to Imperial College

Joyanta Ragshit, the legendary C&G Welfare Officer from the 1999-2000 academic year, is rumoured to be contemplating a return to Imperial College in 2002-2003.

Mr Ragshit is infamous for having gone AWOL from CGCU at the end of 1999, while still managing to hold his position as Welfare Officer to the end of the academic year. Despite numerous attempts to oust him, Mr Ragshit weaved circles around the most vicious of political colleagues to cling on to the post. Mr Ragshit graduated in that same academic year with a BEng Computing degree.

Mr Ragshit has been described as the only "bad-boy" in the otherwise cuddly and cute circle of welfare-related Union hacks. Indeed, post-Imperial College concern for his own welfare led him to enrol for a Masters degree at Leeds University, where he began his search for "fast cars and fast chicks". As well as gaining an education in Distributed Multimedia Systems, Mr Ragshit remarks on his Leeds experience - "if there are plenty of fish in the sea... then Leeds is a fish factory".

Returning to Imperial College would allow Mr Ragshit to further his occasional relationship with CGCU Media activities. Mr Ragshit first made his name in the Gulix sensation of Spring 1999, when he played a pivotal role in orchestrating Gulix (the first Felix look-a-like), where a cover story cast then editor Dinesh Ganesarajah as an exile in Afghanistan due to Felix legal action.

As well as Imperial College, Mr Ragshit is also thought to be eyeing London School of Economics as a potential destination, and LSE may be more attractive to him (for obvious reasons)

I like the article @ written by Evan davis but we all know the truth....it was dinesh...as he admitted. the following are some of the few comments:

most of the article is pretty much correct. however,

'Mr Ragshit has been described as the only "bad-boy" in the otherwise cuddly and cute circle of welfare- related Union hacks.
