I started teaching at 17. I am 62 now. I have wonderful memories of many students, and some of them have gone out of their way to make me thankful for the way I have lived and worked. But some have proved to be the dregs of humankind, and hurt me much more than I ever hurt them, or even wanted or tried to. I have vivid memories of every single one of them.
I want some responses to this post. Readers, how would you like me writing a whole series about those creatures, detailing everything they have done to me? It would make for some juicy reading, I promise you that. The best they can do is to abuse me on social media, and we all know what that is worth, don't we? I shall name them, and furnish lots of other details too. What will they do to me at my age... destroy my career, send me to jail, kill me? Monsters and cretins, I call them, and I want to tell the world why. I think I shall start with Piyali Sengupta and Bijit Mukherjee. There will be a very long list to follow. Ready for the ride?
