To all my teachers...

Am writing after a fairly long time...No excuses...May be this hobby of mine had got lost somewhere among other priorities of life...or may be not much to really write about...

Writing comes naturally when you do something outside the routine...This 'something' then gives the satisfaction of living a dream that was forgotten or ignored...

Have started persuing one of my passions after a long break...Teaching French...In a new avatar...The activity that was earlier confined to the 4 walls of my house, has now expanded beyond the home...Have tied up with a couple of coaching classes to teach French...Am learning the art of managing a classroom along with teaching...Not an easy job but thats how challenges are...is'nt it?

The transition from Didi to Miss...feels strange :)

We all experience various relationships in this world...Relationships make life worthwhile..they add life to our world and make us feel all the different emotions..Some relationships make us feel special and loved while some others make us feel responsible while some others give us sorrow...But relationships make life special indeed!

One such relationship is that of a teacher and student...a very special relationship crafted by Almighty Himself to ensure that wisdom and knowledge are transmitted from one generation to another...Blessed are those who get the opportunity to experience this relationship from both sides...blessed are those who get an opportunity to be a student as well as a teacher...

I have realised an important thing in the few lectures that I have taken till date...a good teacher is not just a teacher...A good teacher is much more..A friend, a companion, a disciplinarian and more...A good teacher belongs to her own generation, to the students generation as well the elderly generation..What is challenging is to choose which role to play when, with whom and at what point of time...I am trying to figure out the art of choosing the role which I play because that will decide what I mean to the student...

As I write this, I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who has taught me at any point in life...I now realise how difficult it is to teach...to stand out there and impart a portion of your knowledge to a classroom full of young energetic minds...to ensure that each one out there understand and absorbs your word and gets value from the valuable time he is investing in you...It feels speacial as well as responsible to be a part of the formative years of an individual's life... to be an integral part of the process of upbringing of a child...

lastly...I dont know if my teachers will agree, but I feel that every teacher is a student in some way and every student is a teacher in some way...As a teacher, I am learning to appreciate and look at the world through the eyes of a student...the curiosity, the zeal to learn and eagerness to fill the empty pot with which I came in this world with more and more wisdom with each passing day...In this process of learning, guess who are my teachers...my very own students who teach me to look at this world through the eyes of a student...
