And I did like the spirit displayed by the AP house guys that day... I remember how much I liked watching Ninan Thomas sprint in the re-race. I thought it was his best :-)... Ashok, that comment abt Fr.Pulickal being the whole cake was heartening. He taught us only in our 7th(English grammar), and we were not lucky enough to have attended his History classes.

Subsequent comments here confirm what I feared. In the 1980s, looking up to seniors (what Issac pointed out) did not spring from seniors 'teaching' juniors like that. Or am I being extra naive here? Renjith, the idea was to give a slice of Loyola life.

Good post. In my final year at Loyola, we had not one but 3 incidents of startling similarity. And so do i remember had happened with Kichus batch one year our senior. Again this being a public forum i cannot go into the details lest i give out wrong impressiong to some readers- loyolites and otherwise. Ironnically i have to say that it was a teacher who herself asked us, or rather asked me to ask the rest , to look into the said matters. Heh we did have a snigger hearing that a teacher would ask that. The matter as Jiby said was taken care of without a lot of trouble with the "Authorities" Yes Jiby chetta.... we continue the tradition. And im sure my juniors will do the same when they are where we once stood. and yes i agree.. it happens only in loyolaaaaaaaaaaa..... Cheers Loyola sons. (Wanna know the rest ? Then i suggest you mail meh. heh @ getmesyam@gmail.com ) ;) @Jiby and Ashok

I remember that incident too, but let's not take names... There were more such incidents, in fact... When we were in the sixth, I think, there was this senior batch that thought that things could be taken for granted, and took 'putting in place' a bit too far...and one of my classmates, true 'Gandhigiri' style, requested them 'entha chetta, vendaatto'....and promptly was rewarded for his efforts... Luckily, his brother was in the 'bade pappa' XIIth then... Somehow he came to know what happened..."B---y, nintaniyane thallunnedaa!!!"...The rest is history....the 'putters-in-place' soon got 'put' in place....Again, no details on the methods used.... True, we always had somebody to look up to....Viva, Loyola!!! yep, those were SOME times…. I remember that incident too, but let’s not take names…

A better title would have been: "It Happens Only In Loyola". I'm sure students from all Loyola ages will love to read inspiring and heart-warming anecdotes like these. Classic post, Jiby and Ashok!

But i guess the juniors involved were fortunately made to realise their mistakes by the seniors rather than other higher authorities which would have spelt even more trouble :-) Hi Jiby,
