DESCRIPTION
A light hearted nostalgic take on AFMC.... Initially played at the AFMC Alumni Bash at Eagles & Birdies,Kochi,2014...TRANSCRIPT
4th Aug is here again…Rejoice fellas
Aiyooo!!
So many faces from last year!!
What a pleasant surprise
Welcome to the newcomers as well…We hope to see more of you today and in future
The journey of a Kilroy at AFMC,
they say
Began with this back then….
Begins with this now….
Or perhaps this….
And ends with this…..
Or this…
But what transpires in between??
What??
What??
What??
To answer this evergreen Question
KILROY Productions,Kochi
presents
The Magnum Opus-
“What lies beneath…err....in between”
Let’s find out….
Some remember it as a blur
Trust me when I say this…Some actually remember it as a blur
This slideshow is actually a memoir of all those who remember more than a blurmostly About the people who don’t remember anything but a blur
WhatWhat’s an occasion without a memory??
So , here’s the Grandest of them all…
Happy AFMC DAY Kilroys..
Magic…AFMC style
A sprinkling of History to begin with
Vanar Wadi1860
Yes…
It was once an abode of monkeys…
If the present Profs at AFMC are to be believed,the monkeys still romp around,albeit in uniform
I bet the one who introduced parade for med cadets never envisioned the notoriety coming his way…
Last heard,cadets were still scrambling for his head..
Mandatory Nostalgia Q.
• This stalwart had the rare honour of being the only Non-Fouji Warden of Boys Hostel who once got ‘accidentally’ locked up in the loo.
• A fanatically academic oriented man he was popularly known by an acronym which is same as the Station code for Babina. His original name please.
Dr. BB Nayak/aka Babban
Barrack Inspection back then
Barrack inspections now??...really??...Where are the beds man??
The times…they are a ‘changin
Then:Tom Jones ancestors perhaps….in their heydays
And now
No Man vs Wild here..In harmony,we believe..
Back then:
And even now:-Still a sight to behold…
Zoom in to 2014
Behold the Penguins….
Then…
And now….
Back then….
And now
Aa jao bhai…saare aa jao…koi reh na jaye
Heartbreaks back then..
Hahaha…And I thought u had
no sense of humour
Can’t we remain JUST
FRIENDS??
AFMC Heartbreaks Simplified…
And notwithstanding a swanky mess , the menu remains the same
Hence
Heartbreaks now
Aaj bhi mess ka khana khaaya
nahi gyaAb toh paise bhi
khatam
I’d rather die than eat in the
Mess
And some more…
Swanky classrooms have their fair share….
Of the attentive ones…
And the not-so-attentive ones
They overslept…hence late in the ppt as well :P
Strictness personified
• A housekeeper for the GH, she washed and ironed clothes for the inhabitants. However she was best known for sounding the alarm at 10 pm with a call of “Chalo chalo bahut ho gaya, time ho gaya, bas karo”, thus putting an end to the amorous activities for the day. To what name did this ‘kabab me haddi’ answer?
Keti
However much remains unchanged…
The craving for AFMC,for instance
And since change is the only constant
The Golden Jubilee Block came up in the late 90’s
The ASHOKA CHAKRA Library,one of the largest medical libraries in India,came up 2 years back
As did the Central cadets Mess In 2010
And recently,the now fully functional Diamond Jubilee Block
• And Just in case you thought AFMC’s acheivements were restricted only to the medical field,here’s proof to the contrary…
• I’m sure there are many more but I’ve included the two most recent examples here
Ambika Nautiyal(T2) became the first lady and the first doctor ever to lead the Naval contingent at the Republic Day Parade…A proud moment for all AFMCites
Satyanshu Singh(P2),now into filmmaking post his MBBS,struck gold with his first short film winning the National Film Award for Best Short Film…At last count,it had won more than 10 awards across countries and Film Festivals..**The movie was screened earlier in the day at the Dhanvantari Auditorium,AFMC**
Back to the changes again…
No Hartal Kands
anymorethough
Also a type of hat
• Which character from a du Maurier book lends its name to this grapevine establishment of AFMC based in the 5 th Block of Old Boys Hostel . X is tone-deaf: "Svengali would test her ear, as he called it, and strike the C in the middle and then the F just above, and ask which was the highest; and she would declare they were both exactly the same."
A.
• Trilby
• No longer seen
Metamorphosis…
Empress garden…No longer a haunt
• This gentleman owned a restaurant named ‘Silver Bowl’ at Dapodi.
• He was known to AFMCites for providing gastro delights late into the night.
• Identify this dude who was lovingly named after a notorious Bollywood villian of the late 70’s.
Shakaaal
6th term Village visits and the Sugarcanes remain the same
Basketball still get’s the college pulse racing
2010??...So what??...You think the scores have changed in the interim…LOL
Musical Events have a new venue
And the constants
Theek se marchpast karo…Iss baar CON
ko harana hai
Pune ki Baarish is no deterrant to Interbatches
Dhanvantari’s are still a reason for Brainwaves
Self explanatory
Finding Quality
marooon socks is
still a problem
We let the
ladies win at times
And at times
we don’t..
Their Alma mater still
brings out the kids in them…
AFMC Day across India is celebrated with aplomb
Also in Videsh
And just in case
• You thought we didn’t study
We do
NO seriously…we do
Ocassional escapades make for Man vs Machine episodes
And on occasions…
The parties have been the same though
Here’s proof….
As has been the sex ratio…
No wonder some people are forced to match steps with Tom Jones’ successors.
Unto the change that’s abt to happen..
OAT demolished for a new LH
QUESTION
• On the walls of the New Lecture Hall complex there is a mural depicting birds in flight. How many birds?
The next slide will make you smile,for sure
Stolen in 1975 Found its way into Seattle, US
40 yrs later, wrapped in silver foil and mailed to current MG Med, MG & G Area
Reinstated in place
However the biggest questions plaguing Kilroy minds as of now
seem to be…
What will A3 batch name themselves as??
~What do the A batchers call them??
Do remember to scribble on our scribbleboard before you go…They’ll all be treasured for posterity
And in case you are still wondering as to what lies
in between??
The answer is
C-H-A-N-G-E
Thank you all for coming
LONG LIVE AFMC
