EPIC ONE-LINERS!

1.        Shailja Ma’am (a day before the world cup finals): "Sir, if you don’t give an off tomorrow, I would go into depression!" 

Director Sir: "Depression is a very desirable feeling. It is required to wake up all your other senses!”

2.       Anyone on campus: Ayan Das! You are very CUTE!

      Ayan: I know, Right!!!?

3.       Apoorva Banda: But Sir, It should be this way, and the projector wasn’t working, and sir we are 4     people in the group and sir, ……

      Pandey Sir: Oh you Sssut Up!

4.       Hi Shourya!

      Shaurya Malhotra (in a very loud and scary voice): Hey! What’s up!

5.       Soumya Ma’am: Being a sociology student, you should observe thing. Observe everything around you.     Even the most trivial of things.

      Anuj Chaturvedi:  Ma’am, your lips have gone dry, you should probably drink water. 

      Soumya Ma’am(after 30 second blank look): Nice observation!

6.       Divyani Shah (after looking at the deserted look of the college on the second day of second semester.) : Naaaahhhhiiiiii! Yeh college nahi ho sakta! Yeh college nahi hai. Yeh jungle hai, (Looks around at handful students sitting on the stairs) Jisme kuch-kuch type ke Bandar hain! :P

My First Day At College :D

“Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to sip at ease beside the fire. If the traveller has vintaged well, he need trouble to wander no longer; the ruby moments glow in his glass at will.” -  Freya Stark

Passing out from school & starting a new life a new phase which everyone says “college” gives us an identity of being an adult & provides us with much more freedom.

The date not escaping  my memory  it was 23rd December when I started the next part of my “adventurous” life journey called College.

RING RING…not another forward message, I thought as my cell phone vibrated. I checked and realised it was an alarm call. It was 6 am. My God, it was my first day to college. I got up and after hours of mulling on what to wear; I was ready to hit the road that led me to my college.

It was a different feeling all together, remembering my first day at school where I went with a smile on my face to see something new & exciting, my emotions this time were mixed. It was a mixture of nervousness & excitement, previous one for about how it’s going to go, how would my classmates be like, will I make friends? & the later one about my this will be my 2nd abode for the next 5 years.

I fell in love with the campus, landed up talking to a girl to help me reach my class, later realised she was my class mate.

Entered the class seeing so many new faces, I joined late, realised it seeing the little groups that were already formed in the class. Sat on the 2nd bench & found that the students were helpful, they made me see what all had I missed.

The students came from varied places, had different dressing sense, difference in everything. It took me time to actually make out the similarities as observing was my habit. :P  now coming to the faculty the first class I attended that was jurisprudence, it was difficult for me to grab what was going on in the class as I had missed a lot, so I struggled to understand. L

Then happened our 2nd class for that day, English, where Ms shailja got me introduced to the class & made me comfortable in this new environment after which we had our break. The break made me see the corridors filled with students of other classes as well & the canteen which had people who were smiling as if welcoming me, I saw it as positive note to this new beginning.

The last class that day as I clearly remember was taken by our director sir Mr C J Rawandale. For whom I fondly developed a sense of admiration , his way of teaching was better than anyone I had ever seen , his way of interacting with the students & his sense of humour was the element which made me like torts even more :P

It was an experience I will cherish for my life, that will never go out of the list of my fondest memories.

My first day signified the beginning of my career goals.

Ride In A Metro

The journey begins at 7 am every morning watching the crowd rush by which once used to be an amusing has now turned out to be rather monotonous procedure day-in, day out. Eye lids falling, necks dropping. Watching other people follow the exact routine as you, however diverse a field they may come from gets us thinking about how are ‘modernization’ has rescued in us getting dependant on the punctuality of this system on rails. How this entire city comes to a standstill if we incur a ‘technical fault’.

The Essential Elements :D

Jaideep: Here we start our own little adventure, symbiosis law school blog, yaay!  The Students of batch 2010-2015 are here to be gossip monglers, yes that. SLS Noida’s journey started on 6th December 2010. And at the end of one heck of a rigorous semester, here we are presenting the insights of what actually goes on at SLS.  The regular day’s work starts at 9, well not really. Not even in a blue moon a “Class” would have full attendance in the first lecture. Gah! We love to sleep don’t we?

Aadya:  Ah, that’s so not the only reason. Don’t you know? It’s NCR! The traffic. There are so many traffic jams in a way, how could we be there at exact 9? It’s unfair to blame everything on sleep. And then there are the metros. Power cuts, people! Sometimes, we hang in the train for half an hour, because there is a power cut.  Oh, and just so you don’t get the wrong ideas, our full class strength is around 60, and the present students are almost always 40 above. The people, who are late, reach till 9:20! That is how eager we are to attend college. Seen this sincerity, anywhere else?

Jaideep: Wow wow wow. Wait, you sleep. You stay right across the road. But whatever. College is fun. Teachers Amazing. And now we shall provide you with insights on our not so very “Old Faculty”.

Aadya: That would be one of the most awaited gossip of the campus, won’t it be?

Chandrashekar Rawandale

Well “Off course” he has made us “Comfortable” in this campus.

Well We never knew directors can be so young and energetic.  He is a very rare  director who actually feels for the college, a director who is available all the time and who can link us and our needs, understand us. He is a man who could get any work done out of us- “the most uncivilized breed of all”.  His personality is “Positive and sincere”. Symbians look forward to be like him. He is Our very Personal “Hero”- Mr Chandrasekar Rawandale.

(Jaideep & Arveena.)

Mohammad. Salim

And now we shall introduce you to a person who totally justifies the proverb ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!! :P Well he is the one who scanned many of us while the selection process and yes; he did scare us initially..!! But honestly he is that one person who wants to put in as much knowledge as he can in all are sleepy heads early in the morning…!! Ok, wait! This doesn't mean we sleep in his class…its just that its hard to stay up, since we are ALWAYS sleep deprived!! :P But then his epic "Exactly!!!” help us survive through those 90mins…he is a man who would go out of his way to help us, whether its in projects or assignments. We always have him for any assistance we need. And one little secret about him? He also writes Shayari's :D Yes, yes, He does. Go ask him! Symbites are glad to have him as a part of the faculty. He is none other than our very own “hashim amla” sir…AKA.….MOHAMMAD SALIM.

V.K. Pandey

“You See” since we are talking about our faculty, how can we forget the “man who has it all"! A person who thinks that we are “born intelligent”!! :P ; which unfortunately we are not. His “amazing’ sense of humor is something which we all “appreciate”, as it doesn't make the class “monotonous” or lets just say it makes the class somewhat “interesting”!! :P But to be honest, he is truly a gem of a person who tries his level best to make us understand each and every bit of the topic. We totally appreciate his “down to earth” nature and his sincerity towards his profession. Wish we could embark/ inherent a bit of it :)
So here’s introducing to you another member of our faculty : Mr. V.K PANDEY!! :D

(Shreya and Arnav)

 

Shailja Saxena.

“Alright? You get it”?
A very kiddish yet mature voice calling  out to you in class. We look forward to her lectures. Her Command is amazing and her name is “Shell ja” Maam, as most students call her. Her unique teaching style and amazing mentoring skills make her the most awaited teacher at SLS NOIDA. She has made us do crazy activities in class, we have laughed, been embarrassed, and recognized one or more of the hidden talents we had in us.She is Funny ,witty and a drama- queen, yes all English teachers are that. A woman who has a weird smile, yet striking and it won’t be a regret to say that most of the guys at SLS Noida had a crush on her. She is our very talented, very own Miss. Shailja Saxena.
(Jaideep and Aadya)

Saumya Mishra

Literally she is the prettiest thing on campus. Visits us Once a week. Has anyone noticed, guys in BA mostly have full attendance on Thursdays, yes thats when she visits us. She was the first one to take us on a trip. Fun loving, Strict, Elegant. And Nevertheless, “Guys Please LISTEN”. Her trademark is her strange hairdo, a huge some of Kaajal and multiple series of rings. I might not say fashion disaster but fashion misspelled :P oh, and yes, I so totally forgot to mention! "Observe!" her first word in the word class, has made people so aware, that all the absolute senseless observations are made every second in our class. Also, every example she gives begin from, "On a sunday, you make plans with your girlfriends, or boyfriends, or whoever :P" Yeah, faculty she is, which no outsider would ever believe :D Miss Saumya Mishra!

(Jaideep and Aadya)

Professor THIKNA.

The B.A LL.B students know what I am talking about, our very own incomprehensible history teacher Mr. Rajiv Kumar. The only teacher who gave into us and had to talk all about his recent wedding, and thanks to him, we totally know how a typical “North-Indian Shaadi” is. He gave us assignments to write at the beginning of every class, and that was our only time when we were usually paying attention in his class. Nah, not the interest of writing, we were marked on that. Hmm, so, we totally had to check our hearing powers because he has a wonderful “ascent”. But truly enough, he is one heck of a hard working man. Any other teacher would have given up on the “ati-jungli” lot of students, who refused to even write in his class. But then, he had stuck with us, and the bottom line is, has made us respect him with every lecture of his. Mr. Rajiv Kumar

Shikha Priyadarshani: Student or a Teacher???...: p

Oh! Well, our academic co-ordinator, who has always been seen as a “friend , philosopher and guide” . She is young, dynamic and charming and undoubtedly she is the “Great Dane” of our college. Well, sarcasm is not one of our strong points so we would leave it on that. She has been Helpful and Caring. Our First M.U.N trip was planned by her, and we all so loved it .She is the “MAIN LINK” between the faculty and the not so well civilized students. She has pampered as well as given us a tough time..:P!! .Though she has  always been  on our back to provide us with any kind of assistance that we required.which had always been along the lines  of eating up our brains. :P Yet the most amazing mentor you could find at SLS Noida. She has taught us the ABCK of business organization, now we won’t get you in details. This is it, rest you shall discover once you meet her in person.

"Push”pa Negi: A “motherly figure” on campus... 

Her name says it all....she has always “pushed” us to give it our best short in a subject which most of the sciencies dreaded:  “ACCOUNTS”. For many of us accounts was like greek, however her belief in us , always helped us to find our “way” out...she made us understand  the concepts in such a manner that in an attempt to understand the “actual” concept of accounting, we literally forgot what we were actually suppose to understand...:P!! Well that doesn’t mean that we forgot accounts...its just that we found a totally different logic, that was “to learn”  accounts while you do it..... :P!!

She is that one person, who reassures us that we still are not out of “our schools” ,whether it  is scolding us for having lunch in between classes  or not letting us go out to have water...she has done it all!! We sincerely respect and adore her, for all the care and responsibility she has taken..!!

A little something, from a uhm, uhm, faculty, maybe :D

A little apprehensive of what lies ahead, I entered the premises and could not help getting impressed by the lush green sprawling campus. Infrastructure designed to meet global standards and a comfortable working environment is what one gets at SLS Noida. The learners at SLS Noida do not just comprise of its students but also its faculty and staff. Everyone is equally desirous to learn and grow as individuals and professionals.

Staircases always filled with students, cafeteria bustling with discussions, lab where brainstorming sessions are a continual activity, library where one can see the intellectuals sharpening their knowledge. One can actually see quite a few Ramjethmalanis and Narimans in making. One can’t help getting impressed with the sheer energy these kids exude. Promptness and wit are available in bulk with these people. They jump with joy at every opportunity that’s given to them to showcase their talent. Enactment of plays, activities, fun based learning becomes even more interesting because the students put their heart and soul to it. One is bound to leave all inhibitions aside after entering the world of Symbiosis. Friendship acquires a whole new meaning as designation and age isn’t a hurdle. Setting aside all cultural and linguistic barriers, everyone unites to form the spirit of Symbiosis.  

Work till you drop, and every moment you spend working is worth the effort. Reward and appreciation is what you get in ample from the head of the Institute and let me tell you, ‘dynamic’ and ‘effervescent’ are the words that describe the head. Each student has a unique personality and his/her uniqueness is accepted with sensitivity and compassion. Exuberance and warmth fills the hearts of people here; one never feels away from home at SLS since SLS is home for its people.

SLS Noida is, without an ounce of doubt, an experience not to be missed!
