Schools in Ghatkopar

The present what is there in Garodia Nagar what is coming in and around Ghatkopar and all that and more.

To begin with, School well many in our time had only 2 option Fatima School at Vidhya vihar, Hindi high school at Ghatkopar West, and then the beginings of Garodia School. When I started it was at the garage and some ground floor of the Indira Lok building next to Garodia Palace building ,which now next to the Bhajan Samaj Temple , then we shifted to the ground floor building after the school ground opposite Satyam Sundaram Building, and the finally to the Ground plus one floor of the Garodia School which presently is grown to a 6 Storyed buidling even the teraace being converted to make room for either classroom or something.

The school then had a very old principal a Lady can't remember her name, then came the Military Guy - Abraham Sir, the guy who traumatised the school kids with his cane , this guy started the caning of students , where he gave the free will to the lids to selected the thickness of the cane. And then either the palms or the butts , whipped once or twice depending on the problem.

Ultimately he left, just got caned once from him. Then the gentle Mr Atre he was like mild but he had that solid slap formula which when used who really knock you out. Yeah had some tiff with on a lot of occation by that time we had grow bullies of the school, offcourse we had to spend some time before our seniors passed out. Then not sure after we passed some said it was Ms Sony and then lost count of who came and went.

The school ground had a lot of wild grass , remember the mali the good guy not sure if he is still there , he stayed at the small shed amde for him and his family at the corner end of satyam building.

Poens came and went some stayed, but one i still do see BABU the cycle guy, then there was KantiBhai and his partner right hands Mr Mahesh Garodia at the schol office, the small canteen.

There was many teachers who came and left can't remember all but still will try .

1-10th Std - the other Mary teacher, Mathew the maths teacher, Dutta - History, Mrs Ramchandran - geaograpgy , history , maths, Kuruvilla - Maths, science, Mr Philip, Bideshwar - Hindi (this guy was nasty ) Nandini - Marathi, Mrs Rai - Hindi, Diana - not sure what she used t teach she was a Model babe all that i remember her beautiful face, Patil - PT , Singh PT, and many more can't remeber them now.
