G.G., as he was endearingly known, was a student at St. Xavier’s College, then Bombay. Thereafter, he joined G.S. Medical College, Parel and graduated to be a medical doctor in 1950. The motto of St. Xavier’s college: “Provocans ad volandum,” translates to “inspire to fly.” This tribute seeks to answer: How was G.G. inspired to fly while at Xavier’s?
