Well ! I have found the time again to update this. Today is 02
Aug 99 22 Aug 99 Sunday. Meanwhile, lot of things have been happenning. There was
the Reunion at Dehra Dun of course which was well attended and was a great success. Points
were discussed for the big one in the Millennium. I tried to pass around the idea about
having a "propah" website with a bang for the millenium. Lets see... its all
upto you. Think of this ! You could have an E Mail address like gullu@rimcollian.com. You
could have automated Mail sent to you periodically like journals. You could have chat
(although there will be no one I'm sure) And other exotic stuff that you can think of. Of
course that wont be free.
I got the first feedback recently, telling me that the spelling of Archive was wrong all over. Quite true. I just corrected them at all the places......that was in 1998
What's NEW ? ALL THE MAIL THAT HAS BEEN RECIEVED BY ME HAS BEEN PASTED AT THE END OF THIS SECTION FOR ALL OF YOU TO FIND ALL THE NEWS AND YOUR LONG LOST FRIENDS. Some photographs recd from school can be reached from Platinum Jubilee second page link saying "Click here for more photo's". Also a lot of text stuff that were laboriously keyed in over this long period. Those can be accessed from Archives and Resources.
This whole site has come up fairly recent (last week of May 1998).
Some of the mail that I have recd so far, I am attaching at the end of this text. You might find some lost friend. Must look at it ! Yours will also be put up too.
The Rimcollian Old Boys Directory has been compiled with a lot of efforts. It is a very useful thing. One can order for it from
Wg Cdr Rajvir Yadav, VSM 23, Subroto Park. New Delhi 10. Tel.: 329 9439 You can send your address and amendments to the ROBA The ROBA Address PO BOX 5423 DEFENCE HQ Post Office NEW DELHI 110011 It costs only Rs 150. And it is well worth it. It lists all the Rimcollians with their current addresses. By the Way, do you know the location of the ROBA Cell at the Army HQ ? ROBA Cell is these days at Room No 30. Kashmir House, Rajaji Marg. New Delhi 11. Phone 379 3287, 568 0560. Maj Shekhawat is the Hony Secretary. His office is at DG, Mech Forces. teleno's are 337 3569 and 337 3519. He has a tele at home. Its 615 3019. He lives in H 6/5 Mahipalpur accn in South Delhi.The dealing clerk: Mr Ranjan Tel.: 301 8512 His residence number: 337 3602. Another useful number Vijay Singh: 379 3287.
A few of the Platinum Jubilee video cassettes are still with
Secretary (above)
Now about the book "Where gallantry is tradition".
It was released by the President of India during the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations.
Published by Allied Publishers, Ballard Estate, Mumbai. It is an excellent compilation of
articles written by Rimcollians on matters regarding the school, Indo Pak Relations,
anectodes about the School days and so on. It is eminently worth buying at Rs 300. You can
order for it from the ROBA address above. Just send a Draft/Cheque payable to ROBA
alongwith a letter mentioning what you want.
Now, we have this Home Page at a free server at the geocities.com
towards whom we are very grateful. But we would like to have our page on a paid server in
the near future. It costs very little.(less than Rs 10,000 to begin with and maybe a 1000
bucks per month then on. I keep hearing of lesser costs ! ) Then we could have an address like www.RIMC.com or something like it.
Do you know how to contact the School ?
tele: 75572 (same number at Comdt's residence) Army numbers 2232, 2219 (accesible from Ascon) Comdt: Col Arun Mamgian (Mahar) Adm Offr: Lt

Deepak Ahluwalia
is deep into adventure activities. He is from AirForce but stays mostly with the Army. He is mainly into car rallying. The last I heard of him , he was going for a Indo-Europe rally through Tashkent etc. Got to envy him. He tells me that he met a Rimco in Chandigarh, our junior. He had a long beard and said he was a HOD at Princeton Univ. Who's pilling ? Great !Whole lot of guys are posted as instructors at the NDA.

Hi Abhijit,
Seeing the 'RIMC Home Page' was a pleasant surprise. When I first got an internet
connection - about the same time last year - the first thing I looked for was RIMC! There
was nothing! And now here you are with a Home Page! Great. Me, I am a rimcollian too.
69-74. Ranjit. After I left school I only went back there in '97 - for the jubilee. (I was
there in '72 during the Golden one). Any way, nice to see the site. Good job. Keep it up
and all the best.
