'After all, we are and will always be Charlie's Boys.' Everyone looks back on their schooldays with affection and nostalgia-even if it seemed like torture while they were still at school! After all, if there were strict teachers, punishing schedules, the ordeal of waking up early to reach in time, there were also escapades with friends, bunking classes, pranks, 'birdwatching' and other kinds of fun. Ajay Jain is no exception. In this memoir, he looks back on his days at one of Delhi's best-known schools, the all-boys' institution, St. Columba's. He talks about teachers or 'brothers' good and bad, fights with fellow students or those from other schools, sneaking out to cinemas or markets, school trips, checking out girls from the neighbouring girls' school and all other experiences typical for a student in the 1980s. And of course, Charlie, who was a fundamental part of his school experience.
