Let’s introduce Sudakka, Sudamma, Sudajji, Arsonya, Annoynya, Manager Madame, Bully, and Chinni. No, they are not many people; they’re all just one girl with many personalities—our Ananya of House Shastri, the first of her name, heir of fire, ruler of The English Section, and Chiff of the Eddies—a girl with many names and many tales, and I’ll tell as many as I can.

For starters, she has just as many talents as names, being a veena maestro and a Vidushi in training who can start off with a song and end with another, but the transition being so smooth that a Pandit would have difficulty in making out her mistake. She is also insanely good at multitasking, having juggled multiple clubs while getting an internship and finishing her senior music exams. She’s also recently become a proper gym bro, flexing her tiny little tricep lines now and then (she can even do pushups, hmmm). She’s also called “Pro Gaslighter” by some Eddies—that’s how effortlessly she can get you to finish your job in time. It’s also been rumoured that she has such a cool profile that most junis stalk her for some inspiration.

Apart from all this, Sudakka is also a consumer. If she hasn’t seen your text yet, that may be because she’s watching the latest release on Netflix on a pirated website on 2x speed, snacking on something sweet because she has zero spice tolerance. She thrives on brainrot, Ghazal reels being her new favourite. If you need recommendations on shows to watch, especially on pirated websites, Sudakka is your go-to girl. She is also a major Henry Cavill fangirl and plans to marry him someday. The key to her plan may be his dog because she is known to love fluffy animals. She pets them so aggressively that even a dire wolf would run away, not being able to take her pure-hearted torture.

For someone who wears specs because they can barely see, she has a very keen eye. Had an embarrassing moment or made a weird face and hoped no one saw? Well, Sudakka saw it and is giving you one of her sweet smiles. Because behind all those multiple personalities, the boss is just a sweet girl who will always give you advice with a smile on her face, never making you feel bad. Her random “Hello tini, how are you?” texts are something all Eddies adore and are scared of sometimes because we have no clue what it will lead to, but it’s usually just Sudamma checking in on us, and we couldn’t be happier when we see it. She also has infinite patience, which may be the result of her being the most bullied person in the Board (fear not, she is capable of roasting people alive with her comebacks if her patience runs out).
“Eddelsoru tumba bartare, adre navu eddelbardu” is one of Ananya’s famous quotes, and she lives by it with her steel will. I’ve looked up to her since I met her, and given her proficiency, I can’t wait to see what she achieves next. The Board wishes her happiness and fair fortune in everything she does.
Oh, and Ananya—the Board remembers. Always.
