Once while I was in school, I was going through someone's year book. I came upon a term, 'alma mater'... Someone had refered to his college as alma mater...
It was a new term for me. So I looked up into dictionary and found out that alma mater in latin means nourishing mother...
I laughed... Who can call his school or college as his alma mater.
Then, I went to my college, NIT Hamirpur. I not just spent my 4 years there, but I lived them. I enjoyed them. And now I know why that person had called his college his 'alma mater'....
