Hahaha. Truth hurts I know. Well, I always can figure when i hit the jackpot by the wounded responses it evokes, full of emotion. Dont get me wrong, I love the Bhopalis and the Jodhpuris but those are not places where a responsible mom would send her kids. Why not turn NLIU into a pottery institute?? Makes so much sense. And NLU can become a Govt Science College. As it is their names are deceptively similar.
NLIU + NLU = Mother of all shady law schools. There was this character from NLIU in our office who was sooo fake and unread (gawad) that the boss asked her to go do knowledge management instead.
