Today is the 4th Death Anniversary of our old principal from Madras Christian College School. As a hosteler there, Dr. Felix was like a guardian angel to us. The hostelers had a bad rep and we were picked on by the teachers. Dr. Felix stood by us. So many stories each of us has..

on how he helped us, in our hostel group. The man had a tough exterior but with a heart of gold. I remember after my 12th Physics practical board exams when the physics teacher who had it in for me, laughing with the external examiner and basically threatening me with low marks

I went to the hostel and told my pals. They told me to head straight to Dr. F. He told me to go back to the hostel. Then went straight to the Physics lab and came back to the hostel. Told me that he had read the riot act to the Physics teacher.. that he had seen my paper

and told the teacher that if I didn't get the marks I deserved, he would be extremely annoyed...

A debt of gratitude from all us hostel boys to him.
