I probably shouldn’t be writing this article about Shayak Sarkar ’07. Not only is he one of my closest friends, but last week he bestowed upon me a pair of designer jeans for no apparent reason. For the record though, I decided to write about Sarkar before any premium denim changed hands. At any rate, the jeans gifting is illustrative: Shayak Sarkar is the kind of guy who performs stylish acts of kindness—the kind of acts that don’t just make you feel better; they make you feel better about yourself.

Over lunch in Mather Dining Hall, Alison E. Cohen ’07 repeatedly greets friends with a warm smile, raising her eyebrows in acknowledgement.

Even a simple salutation goes a long way, she later explains, recounting a formative freshman-year experience when a friend thanked her for asking how he was doing. “Someone would send me an e-mail for doing something as basic as stopping when someone looks sad?” she remembers, reenacting her surprise.
