Its convo time again...

Can hardly believe its one year since leaving NMIMS...Juniors (DJ&co.) have their convo on 29th April. Feeling damn senti now...one entire year has passed since convo day...never really got a chance to post my thank you list (like mallu long oscar award winning speech) or list my favorate moments at NM..so here goes..Many of you who read this might get bored..pls bear with me...those 2 years meant a lot to me and this is one way or reliving those awesome moments...Chai at govind..dosas and vada pav outside college.movies at fun and fame (with pooh having 120 degree fever)..5 min jhatpat presentations (like maggi...)..Paragana..Euphoria..the list goes on and on...
But here are my top 10 unforgettable moments at NMIMS:

10-Paragana -04: As usual fight till last moment for speakers, sponsorship..permissions...2 days of pure madness running between my suite (yes...they actually gave me one), college and the ball room..
Unforgettable-3 mad chicks jumping on my bed and refusing to let me sleep. Me , mallu, nitin and DJ sitting with loads of cash and an endless supply of booze (some 20 cases of beer, 100 cans of redbull, 10 bottles of vodka and whisky eah)...corleones revisited..

9-Journey to Allahabad and Back: the top 2 ppl (who supposedly run college...much to the displeasure of others) take a quick 3 days holiday from Euphoria and hop into a train for a quizfest.
Unforgettable-Mallu reasoning with the ticket inspectors and cops after we are caught for pulling the chain..in typical mallu accent " Aap bihar mein jaakar log ko pakdo...woh roz chain khhechta hai..." and just before the cops come our man taking a hanky and trying to wipe our fingerprints off the chain (remembering his CIA days)

8-Fight at Fame: A screening of troy turns into an actual war between mallu and some baldy...with me madly calling every person i know and screaming "jaldi aa..raada ho gaya"..
Unforgettable-The look on pooh's face when rahul casually tells her that such fights were a daily occurance at Bharati Vidyapeeth and we are veterans of many such battles.

7-Euphoria-05: The last fest of my illustrious organizing career...signing off in style.
Unforgettable-Late night eating sessions at Amar...watching movies lying down on comfy gaddas in room no 21.

6-Presentation on Budget05 in Forex management class: Toughest course i ever took in my life...understoof jackshit...was happy changing slides in the presentation till suddenly the prof looks at me and says--"Now Nishith will give us a summary of the entire presentation....."
Unforgettable-The speech i made after that..." hmm...ahem....the budget was very nice...the fin minister did a very good job...he did now bow in to the pressure from the left" Prof: what are the implication on forex mgmt..Me: "hmm...we need investment in infrastructure...we need to allow more Fdi...the budget was very good...the fin min did a very good job"

5-Euphoria 04- One of the most enjoyable fests of my life...me, mallu, shubhs, dipika and good ol abbaji...along with the nair brothers..the best fest organising team i have ever seen in my life...
Unforgettable- The first razzy awards...uday dancing on sexy sexy..my first razzy...MUMBHAI award...and the reliance fiasco...what a fest...

4-Summer Placement: october-placement season starts...feb-not placed yet...totally depressed..finally get shortlisted for IDBI bank..cracked the gd and interview...but a long long wait till 9pm to get my placement confirmed..
Unforgettable-The celebration at Mocha...finally using all those free coupons which we had been hoarding all this while...drinking the obscenely expensive Lindt chocolate shake just becoz its the mst expensive thing on the menu...free ka maal hai yaar...

3-Final Placements: After a 3and a half min interview where i was asked point blank...why should we hire u?...i somehow mumbled some answer..had lost all hopes of getting placed in Kotak till that phone call 2 days later..
Unforgettable-12 pm in the library on day 1. The ambience was simply mindblowing...

2-Farewell (unofficial): The last party we had at velocity...totally smashed...hugging everyone i knew (and didnt know also)..
Unforgettable- Mallu and pooh finally confessing what i had been suspecting for quite some time...old man, little man and the fat lady..all crying and hugging each other...

1-Consumer Behaviour Presentaion (neeta Acharyas class): The best presentation team ever born in the universe...Mr Gas and Mr Razzy...what a combination...Me, mallu, pooh and the nair bros...made the presentation in exactly 2 hrs...and got a whopping 9.5 (out of 10...the highest ever)...leaving a class full of shocked faces and a very happy teacher...
Unforgettable-Me looking a some boring slide..suddenly getting inspired by looking at nitin and announcing to the teacher " our research shows that the girl child is much smarter than the guy.." Bravo says the teacher...5 points extra for that...
Some guy in class (to mallu): the figures which u ve shown in ur graph add up to more than 100%...how is that possible...
Mallu (confidently): Actually it was a very big graph..we used only a part of it...
same guy (smirks): If u used only a part of the graph then the precentage should be less than 100 not more than 100...(i ve got him by the balls look)
Mallu (scratching his head...yeh kya bol raha hai): actually i am quite bad at maths....
And that was when he won the crown-the god of gas..me and the nair brothers give up all claims on the throne....

well technically the convo was the happiest moment...but these were the best moment of my student life..while i was in college...sorry to those who got bored reading this...to those who ve reached this far...ur comments please...they matter a lot...miss u guys...
