She may seem nice and/or awkward when you first meet her, but once you get to know her, she is really nice and funny. She has a certain spunk to her and is really sarcastic and sometimes energetic. Although she may seem like an extrovert at times, she really is an introvert. She enjoys talking to others and branching out, but also values her alone time and likes to keep to herself once in a while to recharge. She is very paranoid and worries what others think of her, but is quite confident in herself. She likes to interact with people once in a while, but is also very reserved and quiet when she likes to be. She is more of a watcher and not really a speaker, but she loves to participate in public speaking events. She doesn't attract very much attention, but does have quite a few friends. People will see her around and will smile or wave, and sometimes talk, but there are not very many she can trust. If one does earn her trust, they are very important to her and she is very close to them. She is nice and wouldn't do anything to hurt someone's feelings intentionally. But she is tough and will get back at you if you were to hurt her or her friends in a manor that is uncalled for and rude. She is very confident and loves to lead groups. She is a natural born leader, and she owns it!
"Wow, that girl really is a Shanthi. She has so much confidence, but she is very humble at the same time."
"Right. I can already tell she's going to be successful."

Shambhavi 

Shambhavi is incredibly thoughtful - always ten steps ahead of you, especially if you're a 10-year-old playing Scrabble with her. You should never argue with her, because it's only a matter of time until you realize that she's totally right (fortunately, she is also unfailingly patient). She has a delightfully twisted sense of humor. She'll fuck with you as much as she makes you laugh (if she likes you, get ready to be called “bitch” a lot), but deep down, she's the most compassionate, conscientious, loving person that you’ll ever meet. She’s the first person you want to confide in. She intuitively knows exactly when to give advice, and when to simply listen and commiserate. She understands her loved ones better than they understand their own selves, which makes it so wonderfully easy to be open with her. She never judges, but she always calls you on your bullshit. You can rely on Shambhavi for anything. She can convince you that everything is going to be okay just by looking into your eyes. She gives the best hugs. She's brilliantly creative. She inspires you to be a better version of yourself, even though she accepts you just the way you are. Her love is the most powerful thing you’ll ever enjoy - it’s like a hug for your soul. If you’re lucky enough to receive even just a little bit of Shambhavi’s love, you’ll spend the rest of your life trying to make her feel that heart-melting sense of security, contentment, acceptance, connection, and happiness that she gives you.
Making Shambhavi smile is the best feeling in the world.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
