The NLU Grand Intra Moot Court Competition

I still can't figure out why I Didn't take part in the moot court competition in my first year. Maybe I was lazy. Or just plainly uninterested. For the unaware, moot court competition is a competition involving mock court cases fought by the law students. I would make an understatement if I say that they are the most important activity of a law school. Certainly an understatement. Moot Courts are the glamour of a law school, especially of a National Law University which is the residence of the best legal eagles of the Indian future. An NLU student is judged by his 'mooting ability'. The best mooter is like the Amitabh Bachan and Shahrukh Khan of a law school. Everybody looks up to him (her), everybody knows him and everybody wants to be like him. Yes, thats what mooting is all about. So, yeah, I still regret the fact that I didn't take part the last year. I might say that yes, being a normal arrogant teenager from Chandigarh who just passed out of school, I was kinda overawed by the enthusiasm of the students for the moots. I cudn't take the fact that people actualy skipped their sleep for days in a row just to finish the memorial. People even took naps on their books in the library. People crowded in front of the library from 5 AM just to get in first when it opens and grab the good books before anyone else. I was amazed by the environment of a National Law School. Guess I just wanted to be in an acclaimed college that the Central government has made, like the IITs and IIMs and NIFD and AIIMS and all...the wish to be in best college had made me forget the amount of pressure that comes in with thses colleges. Hence, I was taken aback. Alas ! Not a good start. But, I might just add, destiny always plays around with me. Guess I am its favourite child. It tricks me, teaches me, rewards me, shows me. In other words, whatever I plan or think, I am always surprised at what destiny does with me. It always gifts me with an unexpected experience and amuses the other people at how specially I am treated by Destiny. I can safely say that when I am old and I sit down one day to write a book on my life, I would certainly have a lot of things to put in their an make the world wonder. That might be a bestseller in the making. :) (will write more about it)
