Because some bonds only get stronger with time

Once a Recolian, always a Recolian.

We walked in as strangers and walked out as family. Back then it was Regional Engineering College, Durgapur — the college that shaped us before it was renamed National Institute of Technology (NIT) Durgapur in 2002–03. We'll always be its Recolians.

A quarter of a century on, the Class of 2001 is coming home — from every corner of the globe — to the same campus, the same craziness, and friendships that only grew stronger. Three days. One batch. Countless stories.
