Now, PT is taught in open grounds, where will you send the kids as punishment, outside the school?"

Dinesh in my class was called Dhyanchand, Mike became Milkha Singh and Vishal was Vishwanathan. I was either Raju, my pet name or Roger. Roger Binny. He had an entire sports team in the class. In fact, there was a point when I'd not react to 'Raj' but promptly said 'yes' to Roger."

He added, "No matter how much I laugh remembering those days, I really miss him. I know he was the one who taught us to stay healthy and fit. I recently met my PT teacher and he told me: 'You are doing nice in life, very good. But why did you change your name, Roger?"
