PREFACE

 I've been reading lots of magazine for ages and of late there is one section where they have articles by famous personalities about their college days. Invariably each person writes how they were good at that and good at this and how their college had all types of students.

I was not a great student. I was intelligent but not hardworking. The last time that I got first rank in class was when I was in first standard (I even got a double promotion then). But that was it. I've even failed many times (CA exams). I was not good at sports or anything else. But yes, I have been on stage quite a few times and I should say that I had no stage fear whatsoever. 

I've bunked class when I was in just 9th standard. I've been punished quite a few times for not doing the homework and not bringing the notebooks. My Mom always hated to come to any Parent-Teacher's meeting because she had to listen to complaints about me. I always sat in the front bench and managed to chat away to everyone else.

Even when I was 1st standard, I am told that I was made to sit close to the teacher facing the class because if I sat with the rest of the crowd I would talk with everyone and disturb them.

But beyond everything, I was still my teacher's pet. In fact each one of us were our teacher's pet. My teachers never treated me different because I did not work hard or because I was mischievous. 

In college life was different. Even there I did not work hard enough, I was not the topper and I did not do anything great. The only best part was me being a part of LAKSHYA was famous in college for all wrong reasons. But still I had my own favourite lecturers and they liked me too. 

I was not one of those "good boys". I had loads of friends, I have bunked classes, gone to a movie during class time, slept in class and have even made lecturers cry. We've jumped over hostel gates, fought with the hostel warden, ragged the juniors and done what not. We were very naughty, had great fun, were not always the first rank holders and even after all that today we not in a bad shape in life. If I had to win a bet I wouldn't hesitate to study and score the top marks and I have done that too. I've been the best when I wanted and I've been the worst too! 

Well, I’m sure every body might have similar feelings and experiences to share. Hope this work would bring in some of the sweet memories of our hostel life in RLIMS. Enjoy friends and contribute more autographs of  other friends and faculties. Almost 99 percentage of this work is contributed by our one and only “L MAMA”.  I, on behalf of Lakshyans, appreciate the great work of L mama.

All the best guys, have a great time…
