LUMS O-Week

Meet the faces behind Orientation 2023💫

Meet Dua Babar, our in-house ultimate drama queen of the Coordinating Committee! She is somewhat like both Geet and Aditya from Jab We Met. She will cry about her workload but she is your person to get any work done anytime. Despite her being an absolute academic weapon, she will always make time to have ‘tea’ sessions with you.

“Dear Class of 27/28,

Congratulations on making it to LUMS. Your arrival will marks an unforgettable chapter in your life where you will embrace a wide array of emotions that will grow you in countless ways

One tip that I want to share is that never let anyone define your worth. You can achieve anything, just believe in yourself, be sincere, loyal, and work hard, and you will see how you draw success. Remember that metric for success is not grades but the lessons learned, the friendships, and the positive impact you have.
Lastly, I just want to say that don’t worry too much. It’s all a part of life’s adventure.”

Meet the faces behind Orientation 2023💫

Introducing Zohair Rashid, the chatterbox of the Coordinating Committee. Originally hailing from Pindi, Zohair (surprisingly enough) does not have the characteristics of a typical Pindi boy. He is actually one of the most wholesome and energetic people on campus and will always be up for spontaneous plans, even at the most ungodly hours.

“Hello, Class of 2027/28
Congratulations on making it to LUMS. Prepare yourselves for the time of your lives as these four years will be filled with endless possibilities. You will get the chance to embrace challenges, engage with diverse minds, and explore your passions. Let curiosity drive you as you unravel new horizons, never hesitate to take first chances, aur haan vibes pe to no compromise. Always try to expose yourself to individuals who help you nurture your potential, broaden your horizons, and shape yourself into future leaders of tomorrow. We look forward to embarking you on an unforgettable chapter of your life.”

Meet the faces behind Orientation 2023💫

Introducing you to Zaryab Fatima! She embodies the character ‘Geet’ from ‘Jab We Met’. She carries crazy energy and has the funniest unfiltered comebacks for anyone who messes with her. Despite this persona, she is a softie who will always stand by you in your hard times.

“​​Dear Batch of 2027/28,
Welcome to LUMS, where your life will unfold like a dhamakay-dar Bollywood blockbuster! Brace yourself for laughter, memories, glamour, drama, and twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat. These four years will be a rollercoaster ride, in which your patience and attitude will define who you truly are.

Remember, today's kindness and forgiveness will write the script for tomorrow's support and love, so whenever given the chance, always choose honesty, honesty, and honesty!

Lastly, I’ll just leave you guys with this iconic Rang De Basanti quote that will truly sum up your four years at LUMS for you:
“College di gate de is taraf hum life ko nachate hai, te dooji taraf life humko nachati hai.”

-Zaryab Fatima

Meet the faces behind Orientation 2023💫

Meet Asfand Katchela, our resident part-time politician and self-proclaimed “Harvey Specter” of LUMS. Despite his sophisticated and oftentimes reserved demeanor, you will find Asfand to be a softie at heart. His Spotify playlist ranges from Toxic by Britney Spears to Clash by Diljit Dosanjh which is a true representation of his dynamic personality. To deal with any problem, he’s your go to man or as he likes to say it himself: “When in crisis better call Katchela”.

“Dostoon!
Pareshan ho? Koi masla nahi, aj sey 2 saal pehle mai bhi bohat pareshan thha. Lekin woh jaise kehte hai:

Mai akela hi chlaa thaa janib-e-manzil lekin
Log saath ate agae aur karawan barhta gaya

LUMS aik aese safr ka naam jisko ap apni zindagi key sunheri haroof mai yaad rkhein gay. So make the most out of it. Live your life to the fullest. Make ever-lasting friendships. Step outside your comfort zones. Because true growth and potential only lies there. nothing can stop you from becoming the main character in your own life.”
