Khel..!

'Khel' is a term common amongst 2006-10 batch of LBSians, as a direct consequence of the activities of our one time University Union Councillor (UUC), Sreejith Sreedharan aka 'Jetty Kumaran' or simply 'Kumaran' or 'Kum'.

Before we go into the etymology of this term, please remember, never mix vodka with brandy. Well, there are different stories related with the origin of this term. One of the stories is that term was originally created as a result of our UUC's exploits on the football pitch during his school days, or at least this is what he tell to girls. I guess there is little truth in this story. Perhaps, the more famous and more true story behind the origin of this term is that our Kum is fond of girls, especially junior girls, and he would do anything in his power to help them, ie he would use his 'hold' to get them what they want.  His ability to speak different languages was his most powerful weapon. His involvement in various campus issues made his task easier. There were occasions when this 'Khel' would land him in deep troubles. But he would exert his 'hold' to escape from any dreadful labyrinth. After his four years of 'Khel' in LBSCEK, he has moved into much greener pastures, to Bangalore and then to Chennai.

Will miss you and your 'Khel', buddy....!
