If you want to know how the world would look like in 30 years,go NOT to a scientist,so called stock market experts,or any of the big headed geniuses,go to a NURSERY TEACHER,they know.So guys today is the epic teachers day.I am not that big fan of our education system,partly,because it sucks to high heaven.Most of the teachers I know come to colleges to get a fat salary,pretending as if they are doing a favor on students,they really are a piece of work.
On the brighter side there are also those who come to college to teach,to make the future of students,to make a difference. Courtesy,these noble souls,we can still breathe.The truth is,to really learn,you don't need many.I wish you have found yours by now,they would be easy to recall. That one teacher who believed in you,when you don't had faith in yourself,one who made you realize that you are not a total piece of shit,that you are the maker of your own destiny.
I luckily have had my share of good teachers.I wonder,if you guys could relate to it.Flashback.It was year in 2007,I was in a new city,new house and of-course new school.When I compare my old and new school,the difference was hugeee.Its like I was promoted from class fifth to eighth.First few years were really hard.I sucked at maths,science,history,hindi and the mother of all,Angregi.Most teachers would threaten me "Mind you,you wont pass with this attitude"(ha!,they should see me now). There was only one that never scolded me,Angregi wali Madam.
My English copy used to be written with a red ink and corrected with a blue one,thats what my parents use to believe.Unlike my other teachers,who would beat the shit out of me in class,after correcting my copy,.Mrs Pande use to call me in private.She used to say,"You are a classic french dish,served in a really ugly bowl.You have got ideas but you dont know how to express them".It took me some time to actually believe her but I did.She started giving me books to read,I mostly got half of what they said,I kept reading.Fast-forward.In 2010,tenth class,I won an inter-school essay comptetion(kinda big deal).In 2011 I represented my school in National level science exhibition(the idea thing was freakin true).
I wiil give my favorite teacher a call today,I haven't seen her for three years.Wish you would do the same.Its a small gift of gratitude for the gift of life.
