The
college began on 6th of December, 2010. January 2011 Nikita Arora
brings to us an invitation of GLC MUN 2011 which was due in the 3rd
week of January. It was a risk. There were only two people who knew what
exactly a MUN was.
For the
rescue came the alumni of our sister college SLS, Pune. Mr. Suvajit Chokravarti
and Mr. Ash Narain for the rescue.
How was
there experience? Let’s find out in their own words!
1)
You came to a sister college of your own college, which was a
month old, and had nothing to offer. Were you skeptical about being there?
I wasn't skeptical of being there. I
was intrigued, actually.
2) You
were one of the main reasons, why the first ever team of SLS, Noida came into
existence. We went to GLC MUN, won an honourable mention. Feels good?
Very flattering, thanks very much. I
doubt my presence had a lot to do with the consequent triumphs of the team.
Symbiosis has done well to admit quality talent and their time tested training
and skill honing techniques are largely responsible for the results.
Symbiosis presently produces some of the best legal minds in the country, a
fact that I being an alumni, am proud of. This is a result of a well thought
out selection process, premium teaching methods and a healthy environment.
3) You
saw the students in their crude form, did you expect anything from them?
Yes indeed. But
they certainly surpassed all reasonable expectations. Well done!
4)
Now that SLS Noida is racing towards success in almost every field,
does that make you proud somehow?
I'll have to take your word for it, haven't been
following. It doesn't surprise me though, the meteoric rise of the facility.
With people like Mr. Rawandale at the fore, I would expect nothing less.
5) A
message for us?
Stay true to what Symbiosis is. Be different. Stand
out. Have fun. Make a name for yourselves. And go to Symbiosis Pune once every
year to see the real thing! The city is our campus, our teacher and now our
most cherished memory!
Ah, well, That would speak for itself.
This first team, won laurels and people came to know there was a college called
SLS, Noida existing. And from then on, there was no stopping us. In every MUN
in the country, the munners from SLS, Noida, are called, respected, and moreover
celebrated!
Jaideep Sood, Purvasha Mansharamani,
Mahir Vivek Sood, Mayank Agrawal, Palash Hajela are just few jewels in the
never ending list of upcoming MUN stars.
We have conducted two successful Intra
MUN’s which have been praised and appreciated and now await the first National
MUN, which is due this year. Because in one way or the other, we believe in
being that change that we want to see in the world.
So let’s talk to these few top position
holders nationwide in the MUN circuits.
MAYANK AGARAWAL
1) From being selected to the First SLS official team to anywhere, to
winning the first award for college at GLCMUN2011, how would you describe your
feeling?
Probably, the last degree of every Cheerful word would not be able to
describe that feel,
my first MUN, College's First ever event and it ended up with a win....
What else, could I have wished for?
2) SYMMUN1 and SYMMUN2, your extreme contributions, made the
events a grand success, enlighten us?
Indeed, the events were a grand success but not coz of me alone; it was
because of the zeal that the organizing team showed up both the times in
making it memorable. From being the Rapporteur in part I to Secretary General
in Part II, It has been fun working with such delighted and enthusiastic
people.
3) Give us an insight to your munning journey?
From GLC Mumbai's, Hon’ble mention to NIIT Durgapur's, Vice chair,
I have lived and enjoyed every moment of Munning...And I owe it all to my
friends, each time, every time. And forever, for all the fun and frolic...
4) The National MUN is in line, what are your expectations?
As, I said in
SYMMUN'2.-
It will be one of its kinds...
5) When it came to Pure Munning, who do you think are prominent
figures from our college?
JD, as his name flashes on my ph. Mr. Jaideep Sood, (for tactics and
research)
Aadya, (Deduction and determination and off course, socializing)
Palash Hajela (for his fiery speaking skills)
Purvasha (again for socializing, and putting her soul in her work and for enlightening
me of her presence in college)
Mahir Vivek Sood...

JAIDEEP SOOD
1)
How and what got you into MUNs?
9th Grade. My school was hosting an MUN. For me it was just another
event to get attendance. I was made the security head and was escorting chief guests
here and there with a cool wake talkie in my hand. After the first session the
sec gen approaches me and asks me to sit as the delegate of china in a
technical committee such as the G-8. Learning Munning from Scratch to winning a
special mention at the end of two days was the beginning of the wonderful
journey in the world of muns.
2) What do you think about MUNs, do you think mun helps in any
way?
MUN's a perfect way to develop yourself in schools, and the best
partners in College Life. Mun can change one’s life if regular at it. It is an
overall development with benefits just more than professional.
3) You have seen the basic structure of MUNs from all possible perspective’s,
be it delegate, oc, eb or ip, you have done it all. What are your views
when you step into all those shoes, which one is your favourite?
Being in the OC. A good MUN is recognized by the way it is organized. A
mun is successful if it is organized well. :)
4) Well a little birdie told us that the preparations for the
national edition of SYMMUN are on, can you share with us a few secrets or inner
details?
Well, it’s just going to be one of the best MUNs in INDIA.
5) Did SLS, Noida play a part in your munning career?
I came from a school Munning culture, but being the part of the first
official college team and the amazing GLC trip yes, Munning being a part of SLS
NOIDA has always been joyful.

PURVASHA MANSHARAMANI
1)
From the AMIMUN 2011 to 17 MUNS till date, how would you define your
journey in the Munning world?
I started
my MUNning career with a point blank start, from sitting straight faced on the
first day and trying to understand the whole functioning through the next two
days, it was sort of interesting to see so many different views & feelings
on the same issue, from moderating to debating from writing to editing from
learning to growing, all phenomena’s happening on the same level, well that’s
how I picked up.
Slow and
with patience, I tried to be on all levels of this activity. It made me grow as
a person; it widened my knowledge and made me much wiser than I was
previously.
2)
You played major roles in the immense success of SYMMUN 1 and
2, how does that feel?
Well to be frank enough, it’s always more than a privilege to work with
people who have better knowledge than you do because then there is a learning
process which is involved. And the way MUNs changed me as a person all
together, I am sure I would want every person to know better about them and be
involved in it not just as an extra-circular activity but also as a learning
process.
3)
The first national SYMMUN is soon to come, what are your preparations
and expectations?
The preparations have started, the bars are set high.
With a sorted vision in our minds, the team this time will not just make
it bigger & better but will make sure that there is no stone left unturned
to make this one of the best MUNs ever.
4)
Did SLS, Noida play a part in your munning career?
I was introduced to the very concept of MUNs in this college and trust
me it would be a shame if I take the credit away from Kartik Dubey and our
college for making me attend my first MUN because after that there has been no
turning back.
5)
A message to people who are alien to the concept of MUNs?
Well, a Model United Nations for me is not just another fancy term which
means partying and lazing around, it means you have taken the responsibility to
not just be a part of the change but to initiate it.
Your ideas can do wonders to the world outside, some change if not at a
global level but even if you change a mind of a few people, counts.
6)
Why IP?
The Press has been losing its dignity & respect worldwide; the
levels of reporting have gone way below our standards. With the very view in
mind to change the mind set, maybe starting from MUNs will somehow help,
because for me it’s always about doing what I can do best.
Also, because I have been an avid reader & a writer from past 8 and
half years now, the whole concept of reporting is pretty much interesting, it
can dilute somebody’s mind, it can change future. If you read a few lines which
have been written properly, you can never forget them for they cast a spell on
your mind and leave its impact, forever.

MAHIR VIVEK SOOD
1)
Being a known face in the MUN circuit, how does it feel?
It feels amazing. I feel
very confident and awesome. It feels good that people recognize you
for something you're good at. And the best part is the circuit is going on and
on. Knowing people in the MUN circuit has helped me a lot in many ways. I've
met VERY interesting people through MUNs
2)
You think SLS,Noida has helped anyhow in this process?
SLS has been a great help
to some extent. I screwed up my attendance in first semester but the college
supported me regarding MUNs and I was being saved from getting a TNG. The
training session and the Intra SYM MUN was amazing. I thank the college for providing
with the appropriate resources for the same.
3)
The National MUN is coming up,
and you would definitely be in the organization. What are your
expectations?
My expectation for this
big conference are very high. I expect lots of participation not only from
other colleges but from SLS as well. Also, I expect it to be well organized and
would definitely work hard for the same.
4)
Who do you think are the
prominent munners in our college?
Purvasha , Jaideep , Aadya
, Mayank and many more. I've also come across some emerging MUNers like Rangam
, Animesh and many more.
5)
Describe MUN in 5 words.
Can't express can only
feel .
That was quiet an insight. So you got
through with the first chapter of how it all began. Stay tuned. The next
chapter would give you an insight of the most important cell as regards to any
Law School, the Moot Court Society!
