A student’s teacher


13 years of innocent schooling, 2 years in a place which swung between being called a school or college, 4 years of grueling engineering…..I have lost count of the number of teachers. Some teachers imprisoned my eyes with their beautiful writing, while some captivated my ears with divine words, while some more fascinated my mind with thoughts surreal. Yet, you touched my heart by supporting every student at every staircase in the uncertain corridor of our career. And for that I will always fondly remember you as a “student’s” teacher for your unwavering commitment to the student’s cause.

Every moment in four years of engineering tested our strength, character and conviction of thoughts. Everytime, we failed..Everytime, we were down..Everytime, we felt like quitting, your words made us stand up and move forward. You read our mind,wiped our tears and held our hand in the brutal world of engineering.

I still, vividly remember the day I called you with less than 12 hours to go for exam and said, “Maam, I haven’t studied.!!”. You gave me hope. You protected me. You protected each one of us, all offcourse without an iota of expectation.

Today, as I stand on the threshold of engineering life, all I can say is “Thank YOU, Maam.”

Wish you a very happy married life….you will continue to be “our”..a student’s teacher forever……
