The Headmaster and his Deputy, Mahmudul Hassan writes were very brilliant teachers. During holidays, the Headmaster asked the students to daily write a letter to him in English. One of the Essays I wrote, he says, was “Walk through Hills” wherein I used some very difficult words with the help of Dictionary. Headmaster Aadat Ram was very pleased after looking at my writings but then said “Never use difficult words in writing because there will be more chances of mistakes”. Hence the message for everyone, always use simple words and simple easy to understand English to minimize the chances of any mistakes. While he was studying in this school, Mahmudul Hassan’s father was shifted from civil cadre to Military Cadre with the rank of Subedar Clerk (See “Hadees-e-Arzoo Mandi: An autobiography” by Lt. Gen.
