Deolali Days: Stories from a Boarding School

<p><i>Deolali Days</i> is a tender nostalgic journey into the world of a 1960s Indian boarding school where banyan trees watched over mischievous boys stern headmasters softened with rare smiles and humble figures—the gardener the <i>dhoban</i> the biscuit seller—became quiet heroes in a child’s imagination. Through a series of vivid vignettes Satish brings to life the innocence humour and wonder of growing up in Barnes School Deolali. These are not just schoolboy adventures but windows into a vanished world—one where discipline met delight and small acts of kindness lingered for a lifetime.</p>
