= Life - As I've seen it = back to work. The girls and I warmly welcomed them back. The girls who had not gone to classes told the kitchen staff that today they would be treated to lunch at the table. The staff blushed and said please don't embarrass us this way. Saying this they all ran off to the kitchen.
On this day the ladies of Sarojinidevi Hostel learned how to fight against injustice and politics; how to stand shoulder to shoulder and work as a team. I know each one of the girls remembers this day fondly in their hearts as they recreated a miniHindustan-full of civic fervor and independence. These 300 women raised the flag of co-operation, unity and made the University proud.
