I came across this message very late while looking for some information on Padua High School. My belated heartfelt condolences to the family of John Sir.
John D'Souza, popularly know as John Master is the finest teacher I have ever come across in my life. I was a student of Padua High School during 1980-82 and he taught me both English and Hindi in class 9 and 10. He was such a legend in the parlance of the school that students anticipated his arrival as a proxy/reliever teacher whenever the regular subject teacher remained absent. Monitor would strive to maintain a pin drop silence in the class hoping that the reliever would be John Master and reward would be one of his trademark stories. Many a times the reliever would turnout to be someone else and the disappointment and heartburn among the students was seen to be believed, a quite class till then would rupture into loud sighs and wolf whistles welcoming the unwelcome. Such was the power of his personality and innovative teaching methods.

He was a master story teller and his stories were his own creations and they went beyond the routine children stories. The characters in his stories broke the stereotypes, the humor was all raw , engaging and evoked sudden burst of laughter. What mattered was not just the storyline, but the animation brought upon by John Master while narrating a character. He lived the character during his story telling and the impact on the students was as heady as the animation movies of today. Unfortunately I can't recollect the title or character of his stories except for " Challu" the one most popular and hilarious.

He had a purpose behind this story telling, he used it as a reward for academic excellence and for maintaining class room discipline. He taught us English where most of the students had Kannada medium background. He instilled in us the importance of grammar and used to play a game to improve it, off course the reward was a story. Salutes John Master!

Heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family.

John Master was one of the finest teachers I've known from my childhood.
He was the epitome of humility and simplicity. Soft spoken, patient, shy, yet
with a keen sense of humour is how I will always remember him.

Rest in peace Sir.

My heartfelt condolences to Flavia. I had the privilege of visiting his house during my school holidays many times. He was a loving and jovial person always with his books and work. At times cracking jokes he would also involve in our little banter. An epitome of what a father can be. I'll miss his smiling face. You will be greatly missed by people who loved u and whom u loved. RIP John master.

John Sir was the favorite teacher when I was studying in Padva High School long back in the 1960’s. His way of teaching was very special every student of his happy to attend his classes. Even after my education l used to meet him now and then because he came reside in our locality. Later on he changed his place of residence to Paldhane. Then on l haven’t seen or met him. John Sir is such a personality no one will forget.
May His Soul Rest In Peace and May the Lord give solace to his grieving dear one’s.

Our heartfelt condolences to the family members of John Master. He joined Padua High School in 1956. That same year I was in the 6th Class and he was teaching us Hindi and Physical Training (PT ) Teacher. He was a writer, Director and actor too. From the time he joined Padua he used to arrange and direct Kannada dramas for all annual school day celebrations. He himself used to take the main part in these dramas.

While delivering dialogues he used to change his normal voice and tone and it sounded very funny. He was a very pious man and shy but humorous. Before I say goodbye to you Sir, I pray the Almighty God welcomes you into His Heavenly Kingdom with open arms and may your soul have Eternal Rest .

RIP sir..
His one story takes nearly a year.
And the students also listen patiently
They pay more attention to stories than lessons
For stories he put conditions.
If we don’t maintain descipline he will withdraw stories. Therefore nobody is behave during his classes. And one thing I don’t understand how he remembers the same story which he stopped in between as the time ran out and after a month he will continue the same story where he stopped..
Very talented and stories with action seems to be real one.
