  • WOW! I STILL REMEMBER THE MOMENTS I HAD IN KV VFJ WHEN WE USED TO GO THERE FOR OUR ANNUAL 10TH BOARD EXAMS.
  • Hi, It is the one place which is closest to heart. I have spent 30 years their.
  • Went to see the estate and our quarter in sector-1 near kala mandir.Extremely sad to see the present condition of the estate.It was such a nice place to live in.I lived there from my early childhood till I attained Class 8th.Today in the year 2012, i.e. after 20 years after I left the place I feel extremely sad and pained to see the horrible condition of the place and the quarters.Once upon a time about 20 to 24 school buses and trucks used to travel to different schools and colleges all around the city.We felt proud about our estate and the Vehicle Factory.Those were the golden days.Durga Puja and the Kali Mandir of VFJ Estate were quite famous all over the city.The football ground near the atta chakki where we used to play football every evening!!!!!Now everything is history.But my love for that place remains.Alas!! Those days will never come back!!!!!
  • I share Dhrubo's views. Spent my entire student life there , very sad to see the condition of the estate now..
