Name: Nalini Mangwani
Studying at: MIT Institute of Design
Fad First : Sleek clutch bags. I love the Forever New clutches. They are chic and even have long straps that give you the option of slinging the bags on your shoulder.
Style statement : One-piece dresses,high heels and a nice clutch. I also love wearing hair accessories – maybe cute clips or flowers in the hair.
Song I can’t stop humming: Don’t Stop The Party by Black Eyed Peas. The number is just stuck in my head!
Food love : I love everything that’s cooked by my mum and sister. The Grilled Haloumi with tomato and mint salsa that my sister makes is my favourite.
When I bunk college,I chill at: The tapris outside college! College is at Loni village so we don’t have too many options. Out of these little spots,Food Inn rocks. The tandoori chicken is delicious.
Three Speed Dial names : Di,Arya and Sameep.
Zip around town in : Six-seaters and my bike when I’m at college. In Pune,it’s my Ritz car.
Rolled on the floor laughing when : My hostel mates and I get together to play Taboo or UNO. Every week,we play in groups of 4-10 and these are just fun evenings when everyone cracks up and has a good time.
Perfect Date: Would be when we just chill at his place and he cooks a nice meal for me. This can be followed by a long,romantic drive. The date should end with delicious Faluda ice-cream at the Railway Station and a sweet goodnight kiss.
Five years from now : I see myself at a good position at a reputed ad agency. I want to accomplish something worthwhile in my field in the next few years. Also,backpacking across different countries is on my agenda.
