The sapling planted by a visionary has grown into a huge oak tree – yes, over a span of five decades, De Nobili School, Digwadih, with its humble beginning has become one of the premier institutions of Jharia-Dhanbad Coalfield. Hundreds and thousands of students who have graduated from De Nobili till date, are spread all over the country and the globe as successful professionals, holding prestigious positions in their own fields of work. |

In the reading, mention was made of the high marks which he had achieved in the school certificate examinations. My mind said within me, “Who cares now about school certificate exams? What has he done since then?”

Not very long ago did we hear the clamour “Bring back dada; Chappell ko hata do” on the streets of Kolkata and elsewhere from the diehard fans of the former Team India Captain, when he was unceremoniously sent to the cooler by the then powers-that-be. And the iron-willed Saurav did make a loud comeback with a winning knock of 51 in Durban that sent his detractors for cover behind bushes and made his bête noire blink like Sher Khan at the sight of fire. (Well, guru Greg comes from the land of bushes and fires!) |
