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.

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 !!
