We'd asked you, dear readers, to share pictures and tell us about your favourite hostel memories.
Abhijit Masih describes how the friendships he made at boarding school changed his life.
Boarding school bonding is akin to Fevikol ka jod -- un-tootable (unbreakable).
It's the friendships you make that are the strongest. That has been my personal experience.
Between being dropped by parents as an 8 year old and leaving on my own as a confident 17 year old, boarding taught me all that I know and am thankful for today.
As I moved on in my life’s journey there were many relationships formed and friends acquired. But none have ever been able to match the friendship that I have with my boarding school mates.
It continues and will do so forever, that is certain.
