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. Nischint Bhatia - Chintit, looking at his expression after the SMDA grades were out, I wondered which idiot gave him that nickname. Nishesh Kumar - Niku, for a guy who was so creative as him ,twas a tragedy that he ended up with a totally uncreative, "Nicku"name.

Sanjeev Jha - I can never forget his Penguin waddle.Littel did I know that behind his penguin waddle lay a sharp competitive mind. Sanjeev Kumar Agrawal - Maggu, Once gave a single non stop CP for 15 minutes followed by an equally long applause. Mostly by those who had not read the case themselves.

Snehal Soneji - He is the noblest NVSJian of all. Sobha Meera - Possibly the highest net worth individual from our batch. Srinivas A S - Had the dubious distinction of not having missed a single class at IIMA. A distinction ,which even the profs wouldn't have qualified for.

Vandana Vasudevan - The nascent Arundhati Roy, Vava this is one printing I beat you to.. Vikas Kaushal - Was my dormmate Vikrant Joshi - He had the nickname "Tanya" which sounded very close to Tania conjuring images of a sexy svelte siren. Well it wasn't too far from the truth. Vinayak Hampihallikar - If ever god wants to make the perfect man all he has to do is to take a look at Hampi..............and he will realise how many ways he can get it wrong. Vinod Madhavan - Wrote to me fast and quick requesting me to put him down as "The Football king", On a personal note I still think perhaps he meant 'The King Football" Vishal Kapoor - As his name bears out truly Vishaal except ofcourse his cigarettes which I have never seen more than an inch long. |
