UNTITLED EMOTIONS

The old campus of Kiit Law School has not only housed but harbored around five hundred intellectual legal minds. It has been for two long years that I have shared my thoughts with this not so living entity. The events of the very first day in the womb of this campus are still afresh in my mind. The premises of this make shift campus was a brain child of my mentor and the founder director of Kiit Law School. This campus always carried my mentor’s aura and his ambitious educational pattern, which has always propelled my career as a law student. As we all are aware that time and tide waits for none, a similar situation was faced by this law school. One year back there was advent of a new mentor and director with his new dynamic and prospective plans which have consistently yielded successful results. His constant and impeccable support is undeniable. The mentors changed and the priests which are none but the faculties of this temple of education also changed but someone was always there. This someone is our very own old campus. In the heart of this campus was a small room allotted for mooting activities. I might not have visited the urinary that often but of course this consortium was my favorite destination. This moot hall has witnessed great dialects and stood many fiery arguments but has never fettered any ambition. I still remember the seniors marketing presentation on transportation and a small physical conflict of opinions. In these three years this campus has seen many ups and downs. Ups being the student achievements and lows being the departing priests who had left this campus in ruins but with the candid efforts of our new director the law school is standing tall again. The crown of this law campus has been its library. My juniors had the pleasure to decorate the crown with the ruby of the first moot winner’s trophy. The library has also given shelter to many cozy birds. On eve of the arrival of the 4th batch, there was a realization that this law campus could not sustain them and there was expeditious work on other side, i.e. the new campus was build but no one notices the weeping tears of this old campus. On 4th September, 2010 the heart of this old campus was pierced. The watch was stand still at 6:05 PM and with a single stroke it was removed and there was no more a heart for our beloved old campus. In the excitement of modern amenities to be provided in the new campus we have overlooked the pain involved in the process. Of course we will celebrate the teachers’ day on 5th but please commemorate our old campus. The walls of knowledge and foundations of justice shall ever stand in the old campus 7 of KLS…

  1. Indeed they will...whatever that building be used for, as you put it perfectly, "foundations of justice" will always remain in that very campus. already started missing those lecture halls, that library, that Auditorium where we have had our greatest pleasures in welcoming some of the most renowned and respected lawyers of our country and the world. With a hope that we succeed in making this 2nd step of ours more dearer....
