Matuk Nath Choudhary

PATNA: Bihar ’s ‘love guru’ Matuk Nath Choudhary (65) superannuated on Wednesday as head of Hindi postgraduate department at B N College in Patna University (PU), but wished to marry again. He asked his well-wishers and students to look for a “suitable bride” for him.

“I am a 65-year-old boy. My youth has just pandiculated. Puberty is reflected from my body parts. People turn and look at me, when I walk briskly ….I am fortunate that I am retiring at the prime of my youth. People keep asking me what would I do after retirement. I will do what is done at the prime of youth — marriage,” Matuk said.

He added: “I am a disciplined, shy and tradition-loving boy. Thus, I would not talk to interested parties myself. I will send them my guardians, who are my students. I will do whatever they will recommend for me.”

Matuk also said university classes are waste of time and students lose their potential in classes. “Today is my retirement day. It is actually independence day for me. I am feeling really happy of getting freed from useless works. University classes are nonsense. No work can happen there except ruining students’ potential. Now I will be doing some positive work. However, I will not make any target and get stressed in achieving it. I will go with the flow. I believe that only a happy person can make others happy,” he said.

Matuk, who stays alone in an apartment at Shastri Nagar here, had been in the news mostly for his love affair with his former student Julie. He had met Julie while teaching at BN College in 2004. It was, in fact, due to his relationship with Julie that he was suspended and later had been sent to jail as well in 2006 after his wife, accompanied by TV journalists, raided the house he was sharing with Julie.

He was reinstated in 2011 after prolonged public protests even in front of Raj Bhavan and hunger strike before he took it to the court. He was back in the controversies again in January last when PU suspended him after a YouTube video showed him dancing with his students in a class.

Incidentally, Matuk and Julie are not together anymore and Matuk’s only son, who is married and settled in Stockholm, is also not on talking terms with him.
