Dear teacher...

Its teacher’s day today… and here I am missing those regular learning days… Days when we need to attend all the classes… Think really hard and come out with innovative ideas to bunk classes… Think harder to give pet name to our teachers… Some names will be given out of sheer love while some teachers will be named with vengeance… Some teachers’ positive remarks motivates towards betterment… Some teachers’ derogatory remarks make us struggle hard to prove them wrong…

I am walking down the memory lane and thinking of those good old days when my mother used to wake me up… dress me up… And take me to school… Some teachers have been inspiring… some have been menacing…

You taught my name

You worked hard for my fame

You taught me what life is

You held my hands and led towards bliss

You trained me to be independent

You ensured that I am well educated

Oh dear mother,

My first teacher!

ABCD…

1234…

Sun and moon

Earth, crust, mantle and core

I was just one among the crowd

But you loved me as if I am the only one

You smiled when I lied

You consoled when I cried

Verb and adverb

Subject and predicate

Noun and pronoun

Poetry and prose

Grammar and literature

You taught them all

I erred, I misspelled

You corrected

And, ensured my diction

You said I can write…

You said I have to work harder though

Debit what comes in

Credit what goes out

Accounting principles and policies

Levels of Management

Need hierarchy theory

You taught what posting and casting is

You taught to tally Balance sheet

You taught to qualify an audit report

You differentiated between error and fraud

You taught that human wants are unlimited

You said money cannot be the only scale to measure development

Dear teachers…

You taught lessons

You taught life

Some were raw definitions

Some were refined morals

Thanks for holding my hands;

And leading me through

You are the diamonds…

I am the mere sheen it gives!!!
