Your NLU days were Awesome if you remember this

After all the 90's Kid nostalgic posts all over facebook, I decided to pay tribute to  my NLU's childhood days. Probably, only Kids of 2015 Batch and before will understand.

 Your NLU  days were Awesome if you remember this :

1) From Kaleji fry to Amritsari Chola Kulcha, Chicken 65 to Non-veg Thali, Dilip Sa's menu could make any residential college in the country jealous.

Dum Maro Dum ( DMD)
Disclaimer: It also makes your local physician wealthy. Dilipsa seemed to be in the "rat" race.

2) You have not listened to Summer of 69 enough, unless you have seen the Legend himself perform it.This Rockstar, right here, surrounded by beautiful ladies has stolen the heart of many.
Those were the best days of my life !
Go Jack !!!!!!! Marry Me !!!!!!!

















3) These Stud Professors of NLU made us realize that classroom teaching is not only about Attendance but there are "umpteen" number of things we can learn from an early morning lecture.

Stud, Studer, Studdest

4) If you were not scared on the first day of your ragging, you were not standing in front of this guy. But a week later, he will take care of all your recreational needs possible inside campus and shows you a whole new level of craziness that you can imagine.

Hop like Chickens !

5) Ran out of alcohol at midnight ! No problem. Stand near the boundary wall behind pump house and call Sutta Hut, which had a better delivery service than Pizza Hut.



6) You have not enjoyed your Maggi and Bhujia Paratha for Rs 28/- each, unless you have fought with Saurav to change Doremon and watch cricket match at Cool Palace (CP)



7) Those were the days when a free SDL party was not a rare event and Geoffreys and OTR resembled the NLU mess during weekends.



8) Got zero in first test and caught cheating in second ? Dont worry, You still have three chances to go.

9) You can bargain on both, Auto fare with Mahesh Ji and Attendance fine with VC and there existed a thing called Presentation before the VC.
Victim: Sir 5000 to jyada hai, 1000  Kar do. Repeat bhi bharna hai.
VC: Chal, na teri na meri, lets settle on 2500/-



10) Batch Id's were full of Anonymous abuses before the popularity of Google groups and gtalk was the lifeline of chatting before Whatsapp.

11) YouTube and Torrent was a distant dream and only place to find " Funny videos" was LAN.



12) We have hugged each other and danced together  in the mess Lawn, when  Dhoni gave a finishing blow to hit a six and create history in World Cup 2011, while we enjoyed free chicken by Shubham caterer.



13) Last but not least, At the stroke of midnight hour, when people leave your room, you bolt the door and get ready to meet the silent guardian, watchful protector, our Saviour \\ BANSAL.
We still miss Yo Daddy ka maal.

New VC Leaks Part II: Knock knock, Who's there.

Who are we : NLU Students
What do we want : Sleep till 2 PM on a Sunday afternoon
When do we want it : When we receive threats of serious consequences from the administration


With so many things happening around in the era of NVC, I decided to take out my pen and note pad to interview the members of the administration once again. On my way to the staff room, I noticed a white corolla following me. I grew suspicious and moved towards it to enquire the matter, but before I could see who is sitting, two guys forced me into the car and covered my face with black cloth.

Next thing I know, I was sitting in a conference hall where a middle aged man was telling us how to improve the personality ( which, according to him is only possible by cracking civil services exam). I raised my hand to present a counter view but was threatened of cutting the internet connection and outpasses.

I came back to my room and slept. When I woke up, I was shocked to see myself in another conference on "Mixer, Grinder and Blender studies".

As soon as the conference ended, I received another mail -
"Under the instructions of the Vice Chancellor, it is hereby informed that every student is supposed to attend the conference being organized on ‘Forthcoming Draconian laws: Activism in cutting down funds and weekends’
 Failure to attend the conference may lead to serious consequences.

Heil Hitler "


I lost my cool and Charged towards the VC office, but the PA informed me that ma'am is in a meeting with Adl Solicitor General. He further told me that a very important discussion is going on about how to prevent students from sleeping till late hours on weekends. I shouted out loud " Who has been knocking on our doors this Sunday morning", and to my surprise, for the first time, VC came out and said " I Am The One Who Knocks".Then she went inside to resume the meeting. 


Scared and disappointed, I went to cry in front of my favorite professor RDB sirjee. After hearing my grievances, He started shouting " Helloooooo.. helloooooooo.. NGS. First come and sit in the front row. Very Good. Now listen. Do not mess with the VC, or else she will make sure to find out the date of your Wedding and She'll Schedule the Convocation of your Batch on exact same date. No one will come for your wedding *Smiles*.He later revealed that he was Manu Fan's fan.

 He was then joined by his sweet wife Prof Mono oxide, who said " Roll No 837, if you continue doing such things, your attendance will be cut. If you want to raise any issue, raise it in a group of four people"

RDB sirjee gave a very long smile and said "I will mail this on your batch ID". He then sneaked out humming " Helloo, helooo.. I am a hunter, you want to....."

While coming out, I bumped into sir Guru Jambeshwar( aka, AKS) who promptly said " material leke kyun nahi aaye ? "I asked him to say something about this atrocity, he said " I can not comment on this, unless you get a recommendation letter from Justice Ganguly and Justice Swatantra Kumar regarding Ms Indira Jai Singh". I left immediately. Nothing to Do here.



While coming out of the Acad block, I thought of checking the notice board, and to my horror, I saw this :

                                                                 NOTICE 

The Vice Chancellor is pleased to announced that Yuvardha is now replaced by conferences on sports under the chairmanship of Mr N. Srinivasan, NH-65 replaced by conferences on Good Roads and Highways under chairmanship of Mr Narendra Modi, Anti trust moot replaced by Seminars on " Promoting practice at Bar : Steps to curb the corporate firms culture" and Farewell ceremony to be replaced by farewell addresses of Prof American Pie and Prof Pragmatic Vyanjan. 

It is mandatory to have 70 percent attendance in all these seminars. No deemed will be entertained for this purpose. Failing to comply with this may lead to serious consequences.

By order
Registrar

Copy to:
  • PA to VC
  • Chief warden
  • Honey, Sumit and Golu

I sat on the Acad block stairs with teary eyes and I could see my reflection in the white car parked right in front of me.
