FOR U

What am I waiting for

in dusk and in dawn?

What am I looking for

in the distance beyond?

What do these searching eyes

speak in silent words?

That which is unknown to skies

and which no grounds hear?

What do these

dried up tears hide?

And not come out

as the ocean tide.

I ask the wind

to get you with him,

So that I can

at least see a glimpse

FLASHBACK 06 - 07

The academic year 2006-2007 spelt trouble for RP right from the beginning. However we managed to come out unscathed every time.

The 2nd year batch showed immense promise and the “interaction” with them was going just fine when out of the blue, a bunch of 3^rd yrs found themselves in a situation where there careers were at stake. Thanks to one 2^nd yr who could not endure the “interaction” because probably he was more “sensitive” than the others. However, everything worked out well for us in the end and we came out even stronger.

The imbroglio with Patel Hall during Water Polo and Nehru Hall some time back, asserted RP as a Hall which in spite of being “Gentlemen, by choice” took no nonsense from others when it came to protecting their dignity. In retrospection, these events were good for RP in the sense that they united the hall in a way that was unprecedented.

This year also proved to be a treat for the gourmet. “Rockies” was a welcome change from the “Monkai” years. There was also a revamp in the image of the mess, what with a mess card system in place, and butter as a substitute for ghee which was ‘supposedly’ used previously. Both of these were ‘firsts’ in KGP. The credit goes to “Chauhan Sahab”.

The “legendary RP choreo” was not legendary this year and we managed to get bronze, finally managing to shed this image.

This year RP asserted itself in the elections as well with two coveted posts coming RP’s way.

The hard work put into “illu” paid and the cup came back to where it belonged. If the judges had “makhaoed” this time too, the residents would not have had the same tempo for “illu” next year. However they delivered and we won.

Finally, the GCs continued to elude RP this year too. The Tech GC however was a close miss. Hopefully next year, the promising 2^nd yrs (coupled with representatives in the Gymkhana ;) ), should help us bring the GCs to RP. Let us make the next year a year that saw RP clinch all the GCs.

Yo RP!
