Sahayog, for the ICSE, the fella was Surinimal Chakravarthi, the currenct Principal of La Martinerre, another fine British Raj school in Calcutta. The guy looked like a butter-fly!! I was at SPS until the first term of class 11. It was then that David Howard (our Rector) taught us Lit...The man is a genius. Each class of his was a dramatic perfomrance of the highest caliber. I've never seen anyone with such an enthusiasm to teach and immerse oneself into making life out of the text as he did! BTW, His Wuthering Heights' performance at class still gives me the creeps!! At BCS, the Headmaster, Kabir Mustafi (another Old Paulite) taught us Lit...And, he too was another genius. My love for literature was a product of me having great teachers. I consider myself extremely lucky to have such esteemed teachers...The ones who now head the finest schools in India!!
