A teacher is one who not only teaches the subject of his expertise but also infuses good values,understanding and love for that subject which gradually seeps in our mind just like the subdued flame and the strong fragrance of the joss sticks which waft in the air gradually.He or she dons a role that is impeccable and unsurpassable,a model of extreme perfection and adulation which every student wants to emulate at some point of time.
A shy,tender girl of tenth grade had the chance of tutelage under a perfect teacher who used to teach Maths and Science .A retired old gentleman of 60 something started teaching as a passion to occupy his
valuable time.This valuable time delivered invaluable knowledge to those pupils who had the privilege to attend his tuition classes.I being one of them, touched the same note with much compassion and love.
A true confession of my soul would be to agree that Maths had been a weak point at the successive high rise of my life,followed by a deliberate and unequalled passion for Biology,Chemistry,English and Geography .The dusky turrets of the majestic castle touched with the gloom of darkness,the spewing cascade meandering through the tiny brook at the sunny valley while the prince meet the princess for a happy marriage ever after often marvelled me from the pages of "fairy tales".Was this liking instumental in shaping my future choice of career,the naive brain of the teenager was never fraught with such dusky thoughts.
Like a true teacher,my "Sir" taught me Maths with compassion and understanding.The dark holes of space with bombastic names likes decimals,algebra,theorem and trigonometry that have often conjured up shapes of devils and demons that tried to gobble me up during the time of exam,seemed to become less frightening and painful.The deep-seated fear of Maths was finally conquered by my courageous self that earned me a reasonable grade in the board exam .
It was my teacher who helped me in this journey of education,whose indelible impression is still imprinted on my mind ,without erasing those memories as the teenager matured into a women.
My admiration, acknowledgement and gratitude can never be enough to fill the crevases of emotion and passion that you have showered on me.So I just want to tell you "Thank You teacher for everything"
HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY
