These collective writings are from a sample of ex-cadets of the first six batches of this unique cadet college, who experienced its foundation years (1966-1970), at a historic juncture between the end of East Pakistan time and the rise of Bangalee nationalism. While many people have written (and still writing) of their experiences of liberation war, these bunch of ex-cadets have written intimate personal memoirs of passing through their entire teenage (13-18 years), being completely cut off from the real world, at a residential boarding school, similar to those of English boarding schools. In some ways it was difficult time for them going through a completely alien culture from the rest of the peer groups in the then East Pakistan, and by the time first batch graduated during 1970; suddenly faced the harsh realities of the oppressive regime in the country, caught completely unprepared. It is therefore not surprising that a few of them joined the Armed forces as that is what was being preached at the college, as the best career option while many opted for different services starting from teaching to joining bureaucracy, finding creativity in architecture to career in tea plantation.
