Podru
(Gomes)
Catching a 1st std kid in the back gardens and
saying - if I hear any noise in any part of the
backgardens I'll hold you responsible. And then
- if you don't have your hair cut I'll take you
to the barber and have your ears lowered one
inch. If you don't "shtruggle" you'll get "shtuck"
Marathi master... who would write the Qs & As on
the board on Friday for a surprise test on
Monday and Navkesh Batra would switch on the
lights in the day to see his trousers shine.
Can't remember his name but Vinaychandra Dongre
kept up the supply of hair oil.
Karanjia
Asking a guy a question in one corner of the
room and then walking down the other aisle
swinging his cane because the answer was wrong.
A glum faced Karanjia after his probability
calculations led to loss of large amounts of
money at the races…?
Once a ghatee, always a ghatee...
Mr N Y Das
For those of you who were bold enough to do
Biology outside schools hours - Das always
managed to goof up with the Convent girls around
(we had some common sessions for practicals).....
An agitated Mr Das (?), during a biology test,
chasing a frog whose destiny was dissection…?
Mr Arnold
D'Souza
The one memory of Tipu, who
I believe sat in the first row, was standing up
turning around to the class and saying "he
doesn't know what he's saying". And this was
with reference to Arnold D'Souza. Menezes
(a.k.a. Manju) in 9A who would end up giving
"Operations" to anyone that caused problems?
Mr
Alex Correa (Art)
Flying dusters from Correa to wake sleeping
students in the art class? (and boy did it
hurt)!
Athayde’s “scrub
your elbows” during music lessons (or was it
Pearl Padamsee)?
Pran Bhal
And who can forget the
man's (Bhal) ability to read Hindi text upside
down?
Remember how he'd glance down at a book on the
first row and read aloud with ease? That's a
talent rarely seen today.
Son, you have a laang one... I mean a pan-sil.
Bhal making
someone stand up on a chair like the "Qutub
Minar"
"Son (in a nasal twang), koote ki mafik kyon
baunkte (bark) ho?" (translation: son… why are
you barking like a dog?)
Mr Bhatia
Bhai sahib...
Mr
Dutt (PT )
What is this PT escuse
[sic] again?
Tintin comics
always in short supply in the library?
Or
Joe Sheth's
face offs with Tipu (Arunabha) over the
existence of words in the English language - I
believe "groundlings" was one such argument
Someone (Vivek Rao ?) throwing ink on
Father Donnelly from behind - really !!
