I was in Delhi for a few days in 2019 and couldn’t resist paying a visit to St. Columbas. Well maintained, surprisingly so much has remained the same since the 1960’s and 70’s. Walking through the grounds I entered a time capsule, reflecting on the 10 years I’d spent here, from Class II to Class XI. Here were the same desks we used to sit on, carrying the scars of decades of brutal schoolboy use. The rooms looked familiar. Next door still lies CJM, resisting all advances to merge into one joint co-ed school.
Security is now taken very seriously and we were promptly rounded up and sent to the Principal’s Office for screening. Br. Miranda was more than gracious and made time for a chat, allowing us free access to the entire school area.
