Name (Roll Number) Amar Krishna Bala (1522)
This is Me

Then & Now

Date of Birth: 11th October, 1950
This is how they described me in the College Yearbook: Rather reserved and quiet, at first sight Amar Krishna could be extremely vociferous in the company of friends. Easily excited, he always seemed to be hugging someone or the other. Persevering in studies, he was just as hard working when it came to volley-ball, his first love. In fact he was the captain of the college team. Simple and warm hearted he had no vices and we all hope that life out at sea does not change him.
