Welcome to AIL 'sir'... huh sir??? Come again?

18th July 2004, hmmmmm, a day I'm not going to forget for the rest of my life. The erstwhile 1st year is now officially second year, and officially a senior batch. The 80 new students in college have arrived. We call them 'Facchas'. What's a 'Fachha'? Well a Faccha is AIL lingo for First year + bacchas...
 
A nice group of 44 kids with interests ranging from Basket-ball, horse riding, JAM ( Just a minute) sessions, body building and even skeet shooting. WHOW that seems pretty interesting. For the first time in our lives we get to be called sir by someone. You have no idea what sort of a high that gives you. Well I guess we earned it after completing one year of college life.
 
Its a nice experience to be back to college and a fresh feeling once again. But some things will take some getting used too. I have all of a sudden to share my room with another student. That takes a bit of getting used too as I used to get a single room in first year.
 
Yeterday we had a visit by Gen. (Retd) V.P. Malik PVSM, AVSM and one of the ex chief of staffs of the Indian Army for an innaugral lecture for the new session. We were spoken to about well 'Life.'
 
Class is due in 5 mins so gottago. Will post again later.
