Should I type a TC for you? (Transfer certificate), growled the balding principle donning his green uniform.
I looked down, and the threat subsided and he agreed to offer me a week’s extra drill instead of handing me a TC.
There are very few, who won’t have heard it at least once during their life in Sainik School Goalpara (during my tenure between 1994-2001 as a student). The studious gets it and so do the ruffians, the gentle as well as the unruly ones. I survived many such threats during my seven years stay and always managed to come out safe writing a letter of apology or getting an extra drill at the most or at times getting a pat on my back, for being nice overall.
Here are 10 classic ways of getting to see a TC in Sainik School Goalpara:
- Go to the out of bound PWD canteen during the prep time hours and wish the nomadic principle, ‘good evening’ on your way back from PWD.
- Use the short cut through the athletic ground during the PT run, when the principal is performing push ups, in the middle of the athletic ground.
- Run away to Goalpara without permission, and share a seat with a teacher in the bus.
- Enter the House through a secret passage (like a broken window) after a late night expedition and find the principal lending you a helping hand, in entering through it.
- Hit a junior and don’t bother to threaten him with dire consequences, if he takes up the matter with authorities.
- Steal cattle that roam in the campus, eat it and forget to conceal the left over.
- Be a topper for a year and then flunk in the exams.
- Earn an EPD (exempted from PT & Drill) from the doctor, after pretending to be sick & then get spotted by the principal playing cricket in the quadrangle.
- Explode a cracker 3 months before Diwali or splash colour days ahead of Holi or both.
- Find a junior coming towards you as you are speaking to the principal. You find the junior very familiar, but can only recall once he comes and says, ‘Da you gave me a meet’.

Among the 10 classical ways of getting a TC at least one or two ways are very well experienced by each one of us during our stay in school and few amongst us have experienced all the ways for sure…..There was one book which was maintained for each one of us and we were threatened with some dire consequences like a red mark on our certificate if the records in that book were not good ………Can u guess what am I talking about? …yes u have guessed it right I am talking about our “INDIVIDUAL RECORD BOOK” (IRB) …….good one Sisir…..waiting for more…….
Rajib thanks for refreshing my memory about the IRB (individual record books). It was frequently used by the registrar after he took up office...Capt. Dagar. All my batchmates had one common blot on their IRBs...the mass PT bunking during tenth. So Dagar found aready weapon against us when we reached XIth.
