Only, he had it well worked out, only phoning when he knew his parents would not be at home (mobile/cell phones then the size of bricks with a price to match), delegating the task of the money plea to his brother. Of course we forwarded it - but now I know!<br /><br />Anna :o]hyperCRYPTICalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967085628384237933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856434568744212755.post-42590039609343136332013-05-24T00:26:37.848-07:002013-05-24T00:26:37.848-07:00Thanks KayEm :) I am so glad U enjoyed the post. ...Thanks KayEm :) I am so glad U enjoyed the post.

It must had been quite raw, yet some what simple. Communication would have been the major challenge those days. There is no doubt the hostel environment made us, little smarter. Even though situation is changing very fast, but I think the good tradition would continue!jahidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097607781740943913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856434568744212755.post-2334891917723619802013-05-21T10:57:14.868-07:002013-05-21T10:57:14.868-07:00Thank U so much dear :) I am glad U enjoyed the p...Thank U so much dear :) I am glad U enjoyed the post.

They had their parents coming to oollege to get their wards settled at a new environ :) <br /><br />Talking about eighties -most of my classmates and me too had to manage the show on our own. Most of the parents remained an "Inland Letter" away (average 7 to 10 days). Most of them never had the opportunity or inclination to know our progress during the course. The environ in the college made everyone of us smarter within the ragging month and imbibed a family-away-from-family.culture into us. 'hope the good tradition still continues!
