Some Major Unresolved Crimes at the National Defence Academy... #MilitaryHumour#HumourInUniform 1. Who stole Prof. Bhavnani’s car for a ride to Poona, when 32nd Course was in 6th Term in Jan 1967. This led to three months of collective, strenuous punishment to the whole Academy.
2. Who squeezed Mrs Indira Gandhi’s bum in 1969 in front of the Cadets' Mess leading to 3 months of collective, strenuous punishment to the whole Academy. 3. Who poked his finger into Soviet Marshal Zhukov’s ass in front of the Cadets' Mess in 1968? This led to three months of
collective, strenuous punishment to the whole Academy. 4. Who pinched Asha Parekh's bum and had the whole Academy front-rolling from the Habibullah Auditorium to the Cadets' Mess and back, till 1 AM? 5. Who placed a pith-hat over the lightning conductor atop Sudan Block? That
would have been an amazing act of mountaineering for which an Arjuna Award should have been lying idle with the President for 46 years. The hat had to be shot down from its perch by snipers from the Army Training Team, as it was considered too dangerous to retrieve the hat
and too insulting to the Academy to leave it there. 6. Who hung a drill boot on top of the quarterdeck mast, which made Subedar Major Kanshi Ram retort, ‘Who The Bloody He’?
One of the most popular of all Hindi patriotic songs, “ae mere watan ke logon” was created by C Ramchandra to boost the morale of the Indian Army who were then fighting external aggression against heavy odds.
This song was famously sung in front of the then India Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru and it brought tears to his eyes.
This song still has that effect. Indians, who listen to this song can still be moved into tears on listening to this patriotic song. The lyrics of this song are written by that poet par excellence Pradeep, and his nationalistic
Kavi Pradeep was a lyricist cum singer who wrote with passion and sang with passion. And nowhere is this passion more evident than in this song from Jaagriti.

Ravi in an interview gave an example of how he used inspirations in his tunes. Ravi once heard a western song which was in

I was in second term of NDA. Our Geography Class teacher used to be Ms SK Singh. She was an excellent Geography teacher but had a negative
approach towards the Cadets. She always considered that cadets are shammers, liars, not sincere etc.
Ms SK Singh would always insist that Cadets bring their geography book in the classroom. Cadets often would not carry the book as it used to be slightly heavier and they would
find difficult to run with the book in their satchel from Science Block (where our Geography Classroom was located) to Squadron buildings, especially in the morning time when the time was at premium and hogging breakfast like gluttons was the topmost priority.

In 1888, the Curacao city government decided to build a bridge to connect the two ends of a canal.

Simple, Easy, Difficult to avoid and a Brilliant idea.
But it failed miserably.
Why?
The rich simply
Raksha Bandhan is a festival that celebrates the bond of love between siblings. Bollywood has since time immemorial included this aspect of the brother and sister bond in most of the storylines, where the protagonist depicts the love of a brother, and the extent that he will go
