What are Time Capsules ? . . . . . . .• Specially fabricated stainless steel cylinders with inert gas infusion to

preserve archaic material. The cylinders will be sunk in the chamber for opening after fifty years in Sept. 2060 (Bi-Centennial of LCGG . . . . Inshallah )

What will go into the Capsules ? . . . . . • Text / images of our time along with that coming down since 1860• An opportunity for Old Gallians to sink their thoughts & experiences for the

benefit of future generations of Gallians • Hand written views of current students on how & where they see Pakistan in

future, its politics, its leaders and above all where do they see themselves 30 - 50 years from now.

Objective ! . . . . . The current students of GG must also have the feel of participation along with Old Gallians. After all; it will be they, still living then to celebrate GG’s bi-centenary in 2060. To be certain there will be high achievers amongst them as there are today. So let today’s Time Capsules foretell whose who amongst the Gallians of tomorrow ! Let our efforts today be remembered a legacy for tomorrow . . . that may continue beyond 2060.
