Mahanagar Boys' Inter College [(note the positioning of the apostrophe, you dimwit r-tards!) (now – sadly – Montfort Inter College)] was established in July 1959 by the Society of Montfort Brothers of St. Garbiel (or was it ‘Gabriel’? Someone please confirm) in Lucknow, India.

It originally went by the name of Mahanagar Boys’ High School (until – what else – it could screw kids in the Intermediate too), and received recognition as an intermediate college in 1984. In 2007, in a decision which saw the effigies of a certain effing cobbler being burnt all over Lucknow, the name was changed to ‘Montfort Inter College’. Now there are rumors that it’s being made a co-ed institute. (No, I don’t want any ‘grapes’ jokes flying; so STFU.) Next - LGBT pride marches by the egalitarian students; heck, I can imagine Shaji Joseph salivating at this prospect!

The college runs classes from Class VIth to the intermediate level and prepares students for the High School and Intermediate Examinations of the Uttar Pradesh Board. Teaching is in English medium; however, some people claim to have cheated the fool-proof system and studied in Hindi medium. The current Principal is Bro. Monachan K. K. (However, there are rumors of him getting fired after all. Someone, again, please confirm.)

The school boasts of a rich history, varied heritage, yada yada yada. Sample this: “The Directorate of Education put on record its special appreciation for Mahanagar Boys' School and its management for their willingness to accommodate wards of the Defense personnel of the frontline N.E.F.A, as well as the refugee children from Assam, consequent to China-India war in 1962. However since the war came to a speedy end the situation of the North East normalized early, preventing the migration of students to Uttar Pradesh.” How can you possibly beat that? So, in short, we are awesome; and we like to bask in this awesomeness like Dr R. K. physics-don’t-need-no-a-c-classrooms Mitra in his small-ass teaching room at Ravindrapalli.

I gather that the awesomeness-quotient is waning nowadays. But, hey, everything that goes up comes down some day, only to go up again some other day – yin-yang and stuff. So, in short, Boys’ is awesome, and so it shall remain. Period.
