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.
