Dr. Behman Minoo Daver (1939–2015)
نویسنده
چکیده
He followed this with a stint in the UK where he trained at Bristol, one of his contemporaries fondly referred to him as the ‘last Englishman’ in India. He then managed to get the Millard Cleft Fellowship in Miami, probably the first Indian to do so. During dinner one day, he regaled us with a deadpan face about his interview with Millard. He was asked about sports. Apparently, Millard insisted that he would only take fellows if they were active sportsmen. Dr. Daver replied that he was a keen swimmer and Millard invited him home for a swim in the ocean the next day. He was greeted by a butler and told to strip to his swimming trunks and join the family on the beach. Out on the beach, Millard made him ride water skis from which he promptly fell down. Millard then said ‘I gotta show you.’ Dr. Daver was asked to drive the sped boat, and the great Millard was riding the skis behind. Not knowing how to manage the speed he promptly managed to put Millard in the water. The fellow sitting next to him muttered ‘boy are you in trouble now’, however the great man did not take offence at all and finally offered the fellowship.
