It was then that our dance partners confirmed that the awesome legendary tales we heard from our seniors of their late night panty raids at Auckland House were merely an amusing facet of their imagination.

I recall with fondness (as I am sure my classmates will too), two lovely girls, Chandra Sachdev and Kamal Khanna. Chandra has remained a close friend of BCS. I wonder where Kamal is. Here’s to the Aucky class of 1963- “Hip Hip Hooray”.
