The NIMC Times [12^th part]

Scene this: LH-3, claustrophobic and suffocating with loads of jokers (others on the fly, a few of whom bedridden in Cmd Hospital, a few locked inside their own rooms), tensed and horrified to the tunes of their college dads, trying to mimic the Economic times for an A to Z write-up, well which went upto a dozen sheets of A3 in size and a slight hiccup by one could take him for an exception, and there he was, rogerred!

And once all assessments got over, did jokers struck inside the Nirman for an overdose, making sure that a few visits could turn them into an Arnold or an under-privileged NIMC super-hero.

And when that quarter was left to strike eleven, for some it was time to bid an adieu, for some a final run to the locker, some trying their best to speed up to just fall back in time from their night strolls, and well if you had gossips or the classified news to break, don’t just do it outside Bhatta Sir’s room, ‘cas he might well be awake putting an ear to those scandals, and why not to our made up rumors that went specially for him!

And just as it struck eleven, and a few called it a day, was the time for managers to make strategies, for jokers in good books to impress for one last time, make POA’s, counter measures, make chits, bullets for easy recollection, a Sutta that worked as a catalyst agent, recall the day’s pranks, try for a group study, reserve comps for the final assault, get your own copy of a CD written, chart out for the hour later birthday bombs, out for a log-collection drive, remind your roommate of his turn to fill up the water can, dip in clothes with a borrowed Tide, make platoons for Wardy’s botheration drive, involve in GD’s comical in nature, make calls to your beloved, missed calls to a few, and on stand by to receive their responses.

Days prior to elections for the council, you witnessed the stirring political moves that opinionated parties to form under-sized mergers, murmured others for backup and making your contender for the ultimate fight with the slight last minute changes! The best was when everything changed and went for a total toss after Diro’s last round, contrary and contradictory in nature and reality.

And now as alumni members take on their proactive step of uniting with their beloved, there sure are to be grandchildren around to pump in JOSH! An occasion of auspicious nature, an exciting opportunity for former students to meet up. You bet, it’s a mini-reunion for some and a lead time for others.

We could never have loved NIMC so much had we not spent our childhood in it. And if you’ve got a bad memory, I am not responsible for the good old days. And well if you’re still yearning for the NIMC Times, just turn off your air conditioning!
