True, its time to leave this place where I spent two of the most important years of my life. It becomes important, as I think, to mention what made these two years important for me and all my friends @ NMIMS ! So here z a non-serious way of looking around.....
Academics :
First trimester could be named "Sincerity", while the last one "Formality" ...
Someone(read: handful) tried to master the credit system, others(read: almost all) tried to avoid the attendance system !...
Love/or Whatever :
some tried to search for love... some met love ... some others lived love... while some just made love.... ;) ..
don't be disheartened the rest... u ll get the best ! :)
Hangouts :
If the Quad was too crowded, ASIAD was the gateaway... If classrooms were too drowsy, CCD/Prithvi welcomed us... If nothin was apparent, hostels/flats were the Den... If debts were running an all-time high, dont worry bhai.. its Juhu Beach and Chai..... If hunger stopped us from studying (!!), Madhav, Cooper, Anand Vada-Pav, McD, Maggi were the 'in-thing'...
They Came, They Drank, They Still Do :
some continued the tradition of getting High.. some took to the new High... some started drinking coffee... others graduated from coffee to vodka... the regulars stuck to their whiskies n rums... the fun gang loved to empty beer drums...
Specializations n Placements:
Finance n Marketing went up for the crown, but nothing survived the western storm... HR n Ops did not want to frown, but couldnt help following the norm ....
Lectures:
some(read: almost none) of them made a little sense... the others (read: almost all) really were termed "what the hell"...
Friends:
These were the people whom we know... who made this journey a great love... nd when the chips were down, these were always there to frown... the coffees, the beers and the hanging around.... were always cherished aloud.. ..
who knows where will we land up tomorrow... but with such friends around, there surely seems no sorrow...
That sums up the journey called - NMIMS; Its about fun, cheers, nd chats !!!

Delhi 6 : Ek Soch !
Allright, I am not here to lambast this movie; instead I feel it is one of the very good movies made off late.
Almost all the reviews I have read/heard from critics, friends and relatives (barring a few exceptions) about this movie have been dismal.
Getting straight to the point. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has once again proved that he has made a movie out of a thought process. Though this might have gone unnoticed in this one (unlike Rang De Basanti). Right from the word go, Delhi 6 takes you to the old delhi. And in a way embarks on a journey that is thought provoking yet very subtle.
Many little and simplistic things in the movie depict the fact that there is an old Delhi in every city of India today. This is the part of the country that was once rich in traditions, culture, unity amongst people and there was widespread brotherhood and love. An era of innocence, an era of LIFE. This has all ended in a bid to sensitize issues over petty advantages. From politicians taking advantage of the situations to religious pundits voicing their concerns to a fake 'baba' commenting on the existence of temples and mosques; Delhi-6 comes a long way in showing what we have lost as a race. Every city today boasts of a nostalgic glorious past where people rejoiced and life sang. Today this very region has been converted into partitions of hatred between hindus, muslims or sikhs. Take Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Chennai, Calcutta, Pune or any other city in India. There is a part of every city that reminds us of culture, people, peace and harmony over high-rises, malls, new roads n fly overs. We have lost this part of city. And in a way, as a race we have lost our identity in the pursuit of seemingly better avenues.
The other aspect which is directly conveyed in the movie is about the thought process and a "doubt" that is present in every human being's mind. And it is this doubt (nicely portrayed as a Kala Bandar in the movie) that leads to crimes, divisions, greed and mistrust. If you kill the negative doubt, walls break, religions unite, trust prevails and life sings a happy song.
This is seemingly the unseeming message conveyed in the movie. The direction is simplistic and keeps one engrossed. The idea is to try and not miss the point while watching the movie.
Signing off with what quoted by Abhishek Bacchan in the movie - "India Works, And it's the people that make it work!"
