HIGHW Y HUES

Greetings!

The NH-65 Insider 9th October 2014Issue I

We present to you the very first issue ofHighway HuesThe NH-65 Insider forll the interesting Academic and Culturalews, stories and gossip during the fest.efore you fall in love with Jodhpur ineneral and NLU in particular, let me tellou that 9 se 12is going to be one of the

most happening days of your life. If youwere present for the IInd edition of NH-5, you should be really thankful that thepocalypse didnt arrive in 2012 and you

will be able to relive the experience ofNH-65 one more time.

Our dedicated PR team is all set to keepou informed and entertained throughouthe fest, in the same vain as we kept you

nthralled before the fest, with the count-own to the useful Jodhpur tips. For therst issue of The Highway Hues, weecided to open it at the close and giveou an insight of the after party, whichlways determines whether the fest is auccess or not.

NLU Jodhpur is known for two things.Mooting and Partying. No matter whaterformers we call or how great a fest weonduct, one thing that overshadows allhe events and performances during

NH65 is the AFTER PARTY. I do not

exaggerate when I say that most people

come to NLUs fest just for the wild

after party. You know you are at an

NLU after party if it starts with David

Guetta in the first hour, passes through

Honey Singh's high heel phase in the

second and finally settles with guys and

gals doing Dhinka Chika to Beedi Jalai

Le. Do not miss out this phase and if

you are little observant, you could be

lucky enough to see some unique fusion

of Michael Jackson and Kamal R Khans

moves. For some strange reason, the DJ

might also play Waka Waka in be-

tween but never mind, no one really

cares about the music anymore. All they

want now is to hit the dance floor and

join random groups, preferably of girls.

One of us will definitely crack this over

repeated joke of Char Baj Gaye Lekin

as early as midnight. Winners of the

fest will make the heap of all their win-

nings and will be seen treating the floor

to more beverages than they will be to

their friends.. Those who couldnt w

any titles will be seen raising their

glasses to toast But we won hearts

There will be cheers, boos, drama,

emotion, action, reaction, rejection,

crazy fun and madness all rolled in

one.

To sum up, I would like to quote th

great philosopher Yo Yo Honey Sin

who aptly describes NH-65 after pa

ties as Jab Saari Duniya So Jati hai,

After Party Ho Jati Hai, After Party

Ke Bhi After, Jo Chale Yeh Woh Pa

Hai Enough about the after party,

is four days later. For now enjoy the

Fest, the events and the hospitality

NLU Jodhpur.

The uninitiated would scarcely understand, but

theres magic in the desert canvasses in the blank

vastness of its skies, music in its silences. It was

this music that Bundu Khan of the Langa caste car-

ried at the age of six to the India festival in London,

where the Queen famously called him Indias second

kohinoor. The Kohinoor Langas, as the group is

now called, bring to you the winds of ancient Marwarin their sarangi string passages and the texture of

their land in the earthiness of their folk tunes. The

Langas are recepients of various international and

national accolades, including a gold medal from the

Rajasthan government. They rose to fame in popular

media when they became finalists in Indias Got Tal-

ent. An album of their folk traditions called Music

from the Desert Nomads has carried their music

overseas, and they have performed in over 40 coun-

tries. Do not miss this opportunity to be lost in the

untamed, untapped beauty of folk music. The Lan-

gas in the opening ceremony is our way of welcom-

ing you to surrender to the wilderness of the desert,

this NH-65. Because ordered settlements belong on-

ly to riversides; the desert was always home to the

lost, the wandering, the banjaaras.

Your Chanceto be a Hero.

BloodConnect is a non-profit-organization that was

started out in Delhi by agroup of students and hassince spread to Jodhpurwith the sole objective ofspreading awareness andcollecting donations.

Keeping this in mind, Blod-dConnect Jodhpur will beorganizing a blood donationcamp on Thursday, the 9thof October, at the Students'Medical Centre between 11am and 4 pm. Ever thought

about being a superhero?You can save four lives atone go. And those lives arecounting on you.

Saturday, Saturday.....

Cassinis Division has come down to

Jodhpur to rock NLU with old school

nostalgia. We saw them beat the lead-ing bands on Channel [V] Launchpad,

we saw them win millions of heart

and now we have the opportunity to

see them performing live here for NH

-65.

This contemporary rock music has a

cutting edge and universal appeal

while being rooted in the Indian

ethos. It can be described as song-

centric alternative rock with hybrid

sonic influences ranging from pop to

hard rock. Watch the Psycho An-

droids Lim, Ludo,Jboi and Sona un-

fold the The story of my life and

get that lethal high, living in the voi-

void

Witness Light and Darkness take over

this Saturday night, as Cassini's gets

ready to kick up a desert storm.

Friday The Tenth

As a kid, I am sure, all of you would have playedAkkadBakkad Bambe Bowith your friends. It is time to relive

those moments with Nucleya.

Nucleya is the solo EDM project of Udyan Sagar who

creates tunes with glitchy sounds mixed with light and

lush instrumental loops. Nucleya brings this incredible

raw energy and fuses it with a slight desi tadkain a way

that you feel Indian and Western at the same time. It

takes songs which are Indian at heart and transform them

into something which is unheard of. So no matter what

you are doing this Friday night, DO NOT even think of

missing this epic experience where all norms shall be

rewritten. In case of other commitments at that point of

time, repeat with Nucleya, F*** that shit!

The Mere-Angne-Mein-Tumhara-Kya-Kaam-Hai?This category of people defies all odds and Bar Council at-

tendance norms to be present at the fest before we reach the door to welcome them. They firmly believe that the

early bird catches the chics and so, they arrive well in time to put up the posters in the mess walls. We must con-

fess that we share a deep bond with these enthusiastic participants who make themselves at home. In the silent

awkwardness of waiting for the washing machine to be empty, surely, a lot of love is shared. The rumour mill has

it that they have mastered the subtle art of Transfiguration, so they remain disguised as the pigeons that attendour classes all year around and magically reappear during the fests.

The RGNUL guy. Is that a bird? Is that a plane? Is that the Great Khali? No, its just our local butter-chicken-fed

gym-lover friend from the North. This festive creature is always found in packs and known to communicate in

audible volumes. Contrary to popular perception, they are not to be found chanting Kada check, Rolex check,

Turban check. The RGNUL contingent is known for its remarkable ability to find its way to Geoffreys faster

than you can say Flaming Shots. Some home-town girls may be spotted searching the crowded packs for

Yuvardha hotness.

There is a reason we look forward to NH-65 all semester with all the nerve-wrecked excitement of an inte

awaiting a stipend: the end result always leaves us in high spirits. Its difficult to decide what we love t

most: the good food that padharos mharo des without the mandatory contribution to the Autowallah

Sponsor-the-Mangalyaan Fund, the centre stage consumed in the splendour of musical magic and dancin

dreams, the battle of wits in the trials-by-combat of the tough terrain of the academic block, or the buzz of a

tivity that fills the Mess Arc and the remainder of the fifty-five acres. But the hues of the fest belong to tho

few who take our invitation to Highway Madness a tad bit too seriously. Heres introducing the 7 kind of pe

ple you will meet this NH-65:

7 Kinds of People You Meet At Every NH-65

Kaun Banega Crorepati? These incredibly intelligent individuals in NGO kurtas and rimmed glasses are single-

minded in their approach. Like Arjuna and the fishs eye, they scarcely look beyond the dream of victory, in all

things Literary. The moh-maya of the Cultural Fest is for the weak- and they would miss no opportunity to tell

you so. The persistence of the condescension is challenged at the Closing Ceremony- at which point, either the

cash prize adequately funds their after party, or they drown their disappointment the only way college students

know how.

Fight Club. This is just another innocent specimen trying to get his moneys worth from the protein shakes by flex-ing his muscles now and then. The growing vocabulary of choice gender-specific vocabulary is flaunted as well.

But barring a bar brawl or two, his days in the limelight are few.


5/7

Devil Wears Prada. This straightened-hair denim-shorts diva misses no opportunity to give us constructive crit-

icism on why things shouldnt be the way they are. Maybe, we need to schedule the parties and the events

around the beauty sleep? Maybe, we need to turn the Jodhpur Sun knobs a little dimmer to meet the ideal tan-

ning necessities? Maybe, we should paint the skies a little greyer? Anything else, maam?

Centre-Stage. We love all the talent that one comes across during the fest. Its nice to see a bit of what the enter-

tainment industry missed on when a few more succumbed to the CLAT-calling of our times. But heres the

deal: its nice to see a bit.Some people challenge our traditional perception of stage time per unit of breath-taken-in-Jodhpur and continue to woo us in this one-sided love affair. Time limits are for rule books, and to

spend time reading those is less time on stage.

7 Kinds of People You Meet At Every NH-65

Khullam Khulla Pyaar Karenge. Dont mind them- they are just a couple of couples, coupling as couples should

do. In the mess arc. In front of the Cultural Room. In the football field. In the Kuch-Kuch-Hota-Hai-Shed.

And everywhere else your eyeballs happen to travel. Dont mind them and their battles against the pyaar ke

dushman. Unfortunately, sometimes, you wish invincible, blind love was invisible as well.

The myriad of Mad Hatters is what makes our highway social experiment a Wonderland, and so, we

wouldnt have it any other way.

Sanjana Srikumar

When in Jodhpur, do as the Jodhpuris Do. We just maxed out the awesome-

ness level by getting camels on campus. So hitch a ride AS(s)AP.
