LOCHEND                                                                                                                                                                 KENNEDY







                                              Being a Lochend boy is not something you take for granted. It is a privilege
                                              and an honor. The first requirement is to be a hot boy, thus making Lochend
                                              dorm the hottest dorm over the ages. The average person would probably
                                              not understand the events that unfold in this beautiful dorm. The moment
                                              you walk into dorm, after getting past our guard dog, Laxman Bomb, you
                                              are welcomed with interesting scents provoked by some naughty boys. Apart
                                              from lighting many other things up, they will light up your day.
                                              We have a range of bright boys that serve their purpose to the dorm. The
                                              Korean boys conveniently supply food when needed. Speaking of food, we
                                              had many good memories with raw eggs, unusual brown coloured Chupa
                                              Chups and sometimes even some extra-yellow Maggi.
                                              Some boys in the dorm are lovers (Dorji) while others are fighters. This gave
                                              birth to the prestigious Lochend fight club, in which true Rajasthani spirit was
                                              showcased through blood, sweat and tears.
