Niraj Shah - I am still trying to figure out wether he belonged to D1 or D11..... or D9 as some dark rumours abound. Niranjan Limaye - Chaddi the quintessential ghat, had a disgusting habit of reading stories in unintelligible english which was perhaps excusable but his penchant for unleashing philosophical storms on his hapless dormmates was not.

Snehal Soneji - He is the noblest NVSJian of all. Sobha Meera - Possibly the highest net worth individual from our batch.
