Abu Dhabi, Jun 11: Clifford Aranha – a much admired teacher at the Abu Dhabi Indian School died suddenly at the School premises on Thursday June 11 morning.
Clifford attended the school as usual and as he was entering the staff room suddenly collapsed and died after suffering a massive heart attack. Though attempts were made to revive him, they were not fruitful and he breathed his last.
Aranha, an English teacher was with the school since 1987 and was one of the most lovable teachers at the school, always jovial and mingled with the students as well as with his colleagues freely.
Clifford hails originally from Mulki/Urva, Mangalore and leaves behind his wife Charlotte and only son Roshan and daughter-in-law Priya.
With his death Abu Dhabi Indian School and the entire Indian community in Abu Dhabi has lost a great teacher and wonderful human being.
Memorial Service in Abu Dhabi
A Memorial Service with Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul will be held at 8 pm on Saturday 13 June, 2009 at St. Josephs' Cathedral - Abu Dhabi.

Fri, Jun 25 2010I was searching for my old teachers on the internet today when I googled 'Clifford Aranha' to find news of a dear English teacher I had at ADIS 19 years ago. The links that opened up against his name told me that I was a year too late in tracing pillars of my past. Sure, everything is bound to pass, to fade, to die away but memories live on where character and a future have been cast. In my case, men like Clifford Aranah and Henry Noronah who laid the foundations of my English in ADIS so long ago make up those undying memories as long as I write in English. May the Almighty grant strength to the family of the departed soul the very memory of whose unforgettable classes now brings a nostalgia tinged with grief for not having seen and talked to him yet another time.

Mon, Jun 15 2009Aranha Sir, He was a man who treated Adolescent boys as Men, when all of us were rediculed and found fault with we always knew there was one arm who would comfort us always. My intereaction with him though limited, wiLl always be cherished. A man who beleived that humour and laughter was the best way to teach and impart education. His simplicity and down to earth personality sure did make him a just another student of ADIS every time he walked into the class. Sir, ADIS will find it difficult to fill up your void. All of us will miss you. Colin M. D''souza Class of 2002

I also remember him as an excellent actor when he played the role of Tippu Sultan in a drama at the centenary celebrations of St Aloysius Higher primary school Urwa. I am sure that the entire student community at Abu Dhabi Indian school will miss this popular and talented teacher. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may the Lord grant his family the strength to bear their loss.
