From a fledgling hall -> first choice of single-room-rejects of senior halls -> "Abe! Insti ka baap kaun hai?"

Each hall in Kgp is a microcosm in itself, which goes a long way in shaping the identity of its inhabitants. Hall days are an opportunity to share with the rest of the campus, some of our secrets and all of our goodies. They are a time of merriment and warmth, and tracking them will be delightfully easy this year.
