Current status: Just completed B.Tech from ISM Dhanbad having specialization in Electrical Engineering , got an offer from Tata Steel as a management trainee and expecting to join the same in july this year.
Life after JNV (what I am doing right now):  Continued schooling from Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Bokaro… cracked iitjee anyhow…and then came to ISM Dhanbad .
Most memorable memories of JNV for me: Really days at jnv were like living in heaven…especially temporary side…days as a junior were much better and I enjoyed a lot…really missing those day… sharing a few….

• Starting from early days..I mean temporary side… “Sunday morning shailesh bhaiya k saath”…aadhe ladke idhar jao..(by indicating)..baki aadhe udhar…aur ladkiyan mere pichhe….pure jnv ka jhaadi saaf karwa dete the…really expression maal ka hua karta tha…..abb shailesh bhaiya ki baat aayi to Nagin Dance kaise bhul sakte hai…..
• Holi at jnv….2002 ka holi especially….deepu bhaiya aur kuchh ka bhang khake nautanki…..aur girls hostel k saamne k gadde me kichad holi….usme Sanjay(pahar ) ke saath kuchh hua tha…
• Playing TT late nights with Naskar…bhag k sabse chhup k…(even during xam times)…
• Playing Cards with choubey and chandan bhaiya (Mini migrated from garwah) during the preparation days of board exam…Naskar used to be my partner…..Used to start on the condition :- yaar 30 Min. khelte hai neend todne k liye and used to continue till 3 a.m… mere aur Naskar ki Jodi….“29” k liye famous thi..   
• Rice fry….basket ball court me…ya nilgiri house k tanki pe baith k ….can’t explain those moments…
• Ladkiyon k mamle me hum thore sidhe the…log hamesha humko fasa dete the….Nikhar achhi ladki thi …kuchh mere batchmates like anup, naskar ,rani..hyped tht…kuchh kamine  senior bhi is saazish k liye jimmewar the… 
• During Xth board exam…journey from school to bokaro… “Bajrang Bali ki jayi”…and similar slogans.   
• Discussion related to navodayan couples….deepu bhaiya k baare me kya bole…tapas mama ko bhi sharm aata tha…Deepak bhaiya ka wo statemnet…wo (K_ _ _ _wa )bhav isliye maarti hai kyunki dipakwa usko line marta hai….:)..(sorry agar kisi ko bura laga)…mere batchmate santosh bhai ka kya kahana…aur chhuperustam majnuwo ki muski to dekhne layak hoti thi…bishwarup bhaiya ko is discussion ka part na banana unfare hoga…. 
• Last one…how can I forget “Season of Slambook”…kitno ka slambook kachda kiya tha…

Things I miss the most about JNV:

Mentioning some of them… 

• Frequent cultural programme of jnv…especially some events like group song under kavita mam jisme jnv ki beauty queens hua karti thi…(Dilli waale se vyah kara de….chhekde pe chhekde….sumthing like that…)…Nikhar ka wo karan-arjun wala song…ankita singh ka wo “nimbooda lai do” song pe dance….and many more like these…yaar plz koi mind mat karna….:)
• Self study @ night hours…..in classroom…..padai k alawa sabkuchh hota tha…
• Munda sir….chiz hi kuch aise the ki bhula nhi jaata….hats off to u Munda sir….

One thing I would change about our school, if given a chance: 

Depends upon the extent upto which I get the chance…but a few are :

• Education system after class X..like arranging quality coaching beside regular classes.
• Forming active Alumini body….

Near future goals I am working on and how: I look IAS as my dream career, although havn’t work much on this. Presently I have planned to get industrial job experience of two years after that would focus on my dream career. If clicks then fine… or as an alternate option I see IIM , ISB.

Lines from me to my lovely juniors (still in JNV): Dear friends….just enjoy school life…don’t miss the opportunity…As suggestion:

• Upto class X ,there is no need to take much tension but after that do focus on your career.
• As generally happnens, there used to be clash among the consecutive batches..( I mean students of class VIII used to be in tension with class IX or VII)…that should be avoided.
