Mathangi Sunil Kumar

From Nlsiu Batchof2005

Scene: 1st year, Himalaya Hostel, 7:30 am

"tring tring" Joy picks up: "hello" Stranger: "can i speak to sunil?" Joy: "hmmm...i'm sorry there is no one called sunil" Stranger: "sunil kumar mathangi?" Joy: "sorry.....no one like that here..." cuts phone...

Muthu walks out...."kaun thaa"? Joy...."oh shit!!"

If anyone underwent change in law school, it was Muthu! be it his name, his clothes, his personality, his dance moves, his faith....everything! The only constants were his infectious laughter, his 'scary' tactics, his love for visiting hopsitals, his terrible handwriting, even more terrible voice and his heart of gold!

From being the quiet, studious and religious roommate to two other warring roommates, people will remember him for his well ironed clothes, polished shoes and quiet demeanour in his first year. The residents of Himalaya would also remember certain cheetah skin underpants....but lets not discuss that (let your imagination run wild!). Cut to the 4th year and all you remember is this big fat oaf, never seen in ironed clothes, dancing in the quad at the drop of a hat with obscenities streaming out of his mouth! Today, he wears only zodiac shirts with cufflinks and can be seen zipping around on a thunderbird.

Muthu also led a secret doublelife....student by morning and mess amma by night! People will remember Atish Vats (another legend) walking to the mess counter at lunch time and shouting "abey muthu! tu kya kar raha hai yahaan?".....and seeing a bewildered mess amma!

Muthu was the second most energetic sportsman in class (we cant deny paulash his due) and could always be found playing hockey, cricket, football or basketball. Legend has it that Kobe Bryant approached Muthu to learn the 'Muthu Jumpshot' and understand why it never went in! Muthu also holds the dubious distinctions of being the most unsuccessful cricket captain in history and being the worst singer ever born (nag came in a close second)!

Muthu was the only person in law school history who liked mess food through the 5 years! His appetite for siddiqui chicken and fanoos rolls was also legendary! When he was not hiding behind corners and startling people by jumping in front of them and then collapsing in heaps of laughter, he could be spotted walking around campus singing "bahaaron phool barsaao" and making plans with jigmet on visiting the famous monastries at "dharamshala"!

Getting a PPO from an LPO in hyderabad at the end of law school, Muthu has now set up his own LPO in Bangalore.(Idoubt he opened hmself)
