About the show
Welcome to the dorms, where the Wi-Fi is unstable, the readings are longer than your will to live, and the friendships are held together by trauma-bonding, shared Google Docs, and the collective fear of Turnitin.
Modern YIF-amily follows a chaotic, sleep-deprived crew of Fellows attempting to survive what can only be described as the emotional Olympics of the fellowship year — academic meltdowns, identity crises in office hours, group project diplomacy, and the mysterious, ongoing disappearance of everyone’s Tupperware.
Here, every day is a sitcom episode:
Hot water has hours (and never the ones you need).
The Wi-Fi works only when you’re not submitting.
The dhaba chai is 90% tea, 10% therapy.
Assignments arrive faster than oxygen.
Sleep is a rumour people talk about nostalgically.
And no one knows who’s eating everyone’s fruit from the fridge, but everyone has a suspect.
And just when everyone thinks they’ve survived it all, the CIE Synthesis swoops in. But somehow, through it all, these strangers end up becoming something unexpected:
A slightly deranged, very sleep-deprived, strangely inseparable
YIF-amily.
Main Family
Rika is the person who tries to let things go. Really, she does. But then people do things… and say things…and suddenly she’s standing there, hands on hips, doing that tight Claire smile that means: “If one more thing goes wrong, I’m moving to the mountains.”
Manjita thinks she is effortlessly warm. But she is a little goofy, and always trying to look like she has things under control—even when she absolutely doesn’t. She loves learning, gets unsure about her choices, and somehow still kinda manages to charm everyone around her.
Thanmiwon Kasom a chaotic person who chills with everything. Everything does not seems to make sense to her but just go with the flow. Always ready for mischieves and fun life. Emotionally a little immature but okay person.
If someone annoys me I'll simply say it out loud. Yes, of course to those whom I closely associate with.
Amber is witty, funny, sassy, and armed with the driest humour known to humankind. She loiters so much you’d think it was her full-time job — hallways, lawns, random corners, she haunts them all. She is a true sonderer; she observes people like she’s collecting stories the rest of us didn’t even notice happening.
Meet Pallavi, a version of I'll get ready in 5 mins and still make it on time. She is calm and rational, understand people. Often walk in the chaos but somehow solve the problem. Her humour is perfect and perfectly sarcastic. She drops a new line everyday in her room.
Trishala didn’t come to YIF to be better than everyone else.
She just… is.
And honestly? She’s as tired of it as everyone else. She’s the person who reads the entire assignment sheet, understands it, critiques it, and then regrets mentioning any of this because suddenly five people are hovering like, “Can you just check mine once?”
Her primary method of communication is deadpan disappointment. Her secondary method is fixing everyone’s mistakes silently because she can’t watch them struggle inefficiently.
