I treated the first of my "juniors-to-be-treated" today. It reminded me of some happy moments in law school...of poetry and concerts, and first year perm time (oh yes, excitement associated with that too!), of friends made and kept over 4/5 years, of dreams fulfilled, of hours spent in bookshops (and yes, I was right, the high piles of books did have to fall!!)...and so many other things. Nice things. This is what treats are about....this, and of course, pleasant company and conversation.
I know everybody's been doing this, and I guess I'm ready to do this now. So here are some of my favourite moments from law school...there have been others, but these are the ones which spring to mind....
- The singing auditions, first year, and singing Masquerade. Sallie and Thomas judging and being very serious.
- My first few LSC trips.
- Talking until the wee hours of the morning in the Training Centre with JTP and AM.
- CR election results, second trimester.
- Long walk in the very early hours of the morning with JTP in the Nags forests (is it a forest?).
- Motorbiking to Magadi and back with Dev M..taking every detour possible on the way and swinging from trees.
- The singing auditions, second year...and finding and releasing my voice's power with "Rainbow High".
- History being taught by Rohit De....and my very first "O" Grade!
- Poetry-sharing with Don in second year.
- Poetry-sharing with Gautam Bhatia on the training centre steps. (This looks like the start of a beautiful friendship!)
- Family Law.
- Walks and talks with Sasch.
- Univ Week.
- Exploring the Amazon River virtually with Vikram.
- Long walks and talks with Vikram/Gow/Madhav/permutations of them in BU campus.
- Terrace chats with Sallie.
- Walks and talks with Tuhina.
- Singing "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" and finally winning WMD vocal solo!!
- "Paper Rain" duet with Sanj and being a mentor.
- Most DISCO room-checking duty times, long chats, and the friends I've made in that bunch of first year girls.
- The Mid-Law school party....even all the running to cunningham road for medicines and the mad ride back to college in the car (that was the most fun actually!)
- Buying wine with Shore as a Christmas present for my parents and most of that evening actually.
- Massage sessions with Kush.
- Watching NWD's skydiving video in the common room. Nandhivarman being so helpful. More helpful than he could have ever realized then.
- The night before leaving for the Worlds in fourth year....wrongly believing I had click-locked my keys inside the suitcase, and all the associated tamasha.
- Heart to heart convos with Annie.
- At Heera Panna with Roh, Annie, Krish and Kush.
- The "infamous" girls' night out with Sushila and Sonam...(and yes, Sonam, I know there was nothing infamous about it....but let's just say there was... ;-) )
- Walks around campus with Gow.
- Walks around campus with NWD.
- Strawberry Fields in my fourth year and NWD.
- Deewar lunches with Nandhivarman.
- Dinner at Rohini with some of my favourite people, Annie, Gow and NWD....and ordering more garlic in the egg burji and debating less.
- Culcomm meetings.
- Getting "The Call" from CC.
- The first LPD class for the third years...experiencing the other side of the podium.
- "Tainted Blood" - the performance and all the practices and people. Meghna, you fulfilled my last unfulfilled fulfillable wish in law school.
- Writing this post and feeling grateful for all the good times.
