Team meetings after dinner are tough. A part of you just wants to sit around and tell them about your adventures and the angel side of you whispers “No son, you have a group presentation tomorrow. Prepare it or you shall suffer in class”. Team meetings do happen eventually, at around 11PM. They are quick enough! These guys seem to be as crafty as Joker. As you wrap up, whatsapp squeaks from your pocket “Night canteen?” “Yes” The nightlife at IIMU begins! 12.30 at night in IIMU night canteen can easily be mistaken for 9PM. Everyone is calling for Parathas and queuing for Maggi while small groups sit around chatting unto wee hours. Ideas float around like party balloons waiting to be pricked and taken up and many an entrepreneurship venture has had its roots in these sessions.
MLSU is not their own, but still very much theirs. From the roads to grounds outside hostels, the bike rides to the night walks, they carry the essence of our life here. Friendships formed, the parties and the moments that made them weak and moments that made them strong and united – the hostel walls are witness to all these little stories that began as individual but got entwined with that of so many others. They would soon move and make a home out of the much awaited campus at Balicha. MLSU will remain a happy thought.
And me? I will return to Gotham and take on Bane.

Superbly written. :) ;) Well, they say, "Never to miss The Last Chapter", and you betcha - "We didn't." We enjoyed and we absorbed every little bit of it. And here we stride toward "New Beginnings" coz "change" we have learnt is the only constant and this constant, just like the mathematical constant, heralds the dawn of equality from the reigns of inequality. With so many opportunities blooming around us, we just need to remember one thing to keep trying and sooner or later we all will arrive. Oh and one more thing... There are only two kinds of people in this world, You and me, right? But believe me, at IIMU you won't find me, coz we are all U !!!
