Then & Now |
|
| Date of Birth: | 12th July 1950 |
| This is how they described me in the College Yearbook: | Every batch has its 'Saviour', ours was Jain, Ravindra Jain, affectionately called 'Martensite' by some. An ambitious person, he has always believed in practising what he preaches, Ravindra enjoys arguments and if they lead to fisticuffs, well, so much the better ! Possessing a good voice, he has frequently tried to entertain us with melodious songs. A creditable actor, he tried his hand at directing quite a few of the college play also. His room was simple, but full of quotations (his own ?!). |
