Meet the team behind it all
This year, Quirk is the biggest it's ever been and we're incredibly excited to introduce our team 

Editors​

​

Aastha Malipatil (BA LLB Batch of 2026) half annoyed, half excited about life, and is functioning on adrak chai most of the time. Can probably be found either bawling her eyes out to an 80s romance or petting any dog she can find. She is your go-to person if you need good chai recommendations on Naagarbhavi road and can be reached at aastha.malipatil@nls.ac.in ​

​

Aditya Maheshwari (BA LLB Batch of 2028) Meet Aditya, aspiring bully (don't worry he can never shake off the 'aspiring' tag) and resident chocolate boy. He is either the sweetestest person you'll meet, or be as menacing as the Duolingo owl if you do not watch the series he recommends you. He can be found either yapping about how he's finished all his projects 1 week before the deadlines, or debating which shop sells the best cold coffee. You can reach him at aditya.maheshwari@nls.ac.in

​​​

Apul V (LLB Batch of 2027) is the guy who’s always posting quiz questions — rain or shine, internals or protests. His superpower? Turning everyday conversations and casual class discussions into quiz gold. When not chasing trivia glory, he can be found either deep in a book or watching Cricket. A devoted Pokémon fan, he’s still waiting for his starter from Professor Oak. Saturday mornings are sacred — you’ll spot him running through Cubbon Park before hunting down the perfect dosa spot. If you’re up for a chat on movies, sports or life’s many mysteries (preferably over a filter coffee), he can be reached out at apul.vaishnav.l@nls.ac.in

​

Ashish Kumar (BA LLB batch of 2028) is a mix of calm and chaos, with a mastery over the art of last-minute submissions. A film enthusiast with an ever-growing Letterboxd profile, he always has a film reference ready for awkward moments. You’ll usually find him listening to The Beatles, procrastinating endlessly, and laughing at his own bad jokes. Reach him at ashish.kumar@nls.ac.in, but approach with caution…he’s likely mid-movie or mid-existential crisis.

​

Avanthika Venkatesh (BA LLB Batch of 2028) loves to travel, trek, and explore the city of Bangalore. If you end up spotting her on campus during a weekend, be assured that you are dangerously close to your deadlines, 'cause nothing else is going to make her stay here. She is also known for her unreasonably bad jokes and unreasonably frequent Tamil Movie references. She can be contacted at avanthika.venkatesh@nls.ac.in

​

Bala Yamini (BA LLB Batch of 2029) is a yapper at heart and an emotional rollercoaster, bringing with her boatload of jokes and philosophical enquiries about life choices wherever she goes. You can find her trying to escape reality by watching Netflix or planning her next outfit. If you want to discuss fashion or chatter away, catch her at bala.yamini.b@nls.ac.in 

​

Bhavya PL (BA LLB Batch of 2029) you'll catch hereither happy-go-luckying at any point of the day, or being under the weather for the other half there is no in-between; living life according to 'that's so true' lyrics and having a playlist just for John Mayer and Shawn Mendes music, she needs a lalbagh touch grass session once a week; she loves using bujo's to organize herself just to mess it all up by watching another sappy kdrama  - using her empathy for a non-depressive-productive cause is why she's here (her red curly hair is her entire personality now). she can be reached at bhavya.lakshmi.b@nls.ac.in

​

Catherine Elena D (BA LLB Batch of 2028) is a quirky girl who always has one foot out of the campus. She can be spotted crocheting aggressively when she's not fighting her friends about the benefits of protein bars. She is always on your side to manifest the life of your dreams and trying to get you to listen to the newest juicy feminist podcast of the week! Chat her up at catherine.elena@nls.ac.in 

 

Chiranth S (BA LLB Batch of 2025) embodies the spirit of   perfect Sunday – calm, laid back and ‘chill’. He can be found on said morning on a run, solving a crossword with coffee and pancakes, and spending a lazy afternoon with a Christie thriller. He can be reached at chiranths@nls.ac.in

​

Dhawal M (BA LLB Batch of 2025) is a fluffy-haired Ben Platt simp. You can spot him laughing at inappropriate moments or using a peace sign and ‘nice’ as a response to every awkward conversation. You can reach out to him at dhawalmittal@nls.ac.in​

​

Jitya Singh (BA LLB Batch of 2026) is a perpetually confused cutie who zones out mid-conversation and  can't stop laughing for long enough to deliver a joke.  Likes her humor depraved and her room CLEAN. She swears she'll master the ukelele by the end of this year. You can find her googling how to study towards the end of the trimester and at jitya.singh@nls.ac.in

​

Karnika Jain (BA LLB Batch of 2027) is hilarious yet kind, and soulfully addicted to cold coffee. When she isn't procrastinating on her thousands of assignments, she's putting aesthetic books on her tbr and taking on  more work to her own detriment. She's also addicted to pretty cafes, BTS and gorgeous pictures. If you wish to reach her at karnika.jain@nls.ac.in, consider taking cup noodles or artsy earrings as a peace offering so you don't have to listen to her loud, endless rants about everything

 

Madhvi Sharma (BA LLB Batch of 2028) Meet Madhvi, the punjabi to bring her puns to quirk (pun very intended). A lovely guitarist, she WILL get her friends just to click the classiest pictures and to break out in the choicest of moves to some vibey Punjabi wedding music (that pinterest page isn't going to make itself). When she's not busy being her literary and arsty self, you may find her smacking her frustrations away on the tennis court. Catch her around campus on any number of her interminable walks or at madhvi.sharma@nls.ac.in 

​

Matilde Ribeiro (BA LLB Batch of 2027) can usually be found cracking bad jokes, having crises of faith about not having studied literature, and generally lying to herself that she is in fact the mildly unhinged protagonist of an indie film. She can usually be found near the new acad block attempting to study rather than practicing her people-watching skills, occasionally lipsyncing in the Nilgiris stairwell, or more reliably, at matilde.ribeiro@nls.ac.in 

​

Neelansh Singh (BA LLB Batch of 2028) is a chronically online meme reference generator (delivered with the most deadpan face). When not people watching from one of the benches on campus, you can find them insisting their excessive Letterboxd usage does not make them insufferable. Reach out at neelansh.singh@nls.ac.in for a comprehensive recounting of Ethel Cain lore, or other (less-interesting) conversations.

​

Sanaa Mathew (BA LLB Batch of 2028) is an adrenaline junkie who thinks about genres perhaps a little more than they should. When they're not abruptly chiming into conversations with terrible your mom jokes or getting into poorly translated manga, they write stories about people who people watch, odd unlikeable women and other such tired things. They can be reached through sanaa.mathew@nls.ac.in

​​

Varsha Ramesh (BA LLB Batch of 2026) is equal parts chaotic, kind, and candid. Her eyeliner is as sharp as her wit, and when she isn’t busy getting bruised in the gym or on the sports field (and winning anyway) she can be found curating spotify playlists for every possible genre or figuring out how not to be anxious while talking to more than 2 people at a time. You can reach her at varsha.ramesh@nls.ac.in
