Well at least the classroom is full and they seem to be paying attention (maybe to the photographer). Will we still see attentive students in a college class today?
I could go no further than the benches which were still the same when I left Govt.College some 3 years ago…
Interesting picture from so far back. I wonder what became of these individuals over time.
Well, at least I got the physics part correct… :)
As Hussain has already said … its “Pakistani students in freshman physics class at the Government College.

Its a bit of cheat really, so the prize should go to ‘Hussain’ who I note has alreadt posted the correct answer already! …..
