Happy Teacher’s Day

Today is 5^th September, just another day in everybody’s life including me but as I awoke this morning I was reminded by one of my close friends, today is Teacher’s day. I slipped into the nostalgia traversing through the corridors of my alma mater, my 2^nd home, my adobe to learning. What best I could do on a teacher’s day when I have grown intellectually and personally to a level when I could just post an update on Facebook wishing all my mentors “Happy Teacher’s day”. Really I feel, as we grow old the importance of days such as “Teachers day” & “Children’s day” becomes a thing of the past. We are so engrossed into our own world that we tend to forget our mentors who shaped our futures. Luckily, my presence on twitter reminded me through one of the tweets that today is Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s birthday too and this day is celebrated in India as a mark of respect to the great academician and 2^nd President of India. Thanks to the byproducts of technological advancements, like Twitter and Facebook, I don’t have to depend on news channels and print media to remember such important events around us.

I am reminded of “Teachers day” celebrations in our school, when we used to gift flowers to our mentors who with a graceful smile accepted it. Those childhood memories sway past my thoughts as I write this and help to understand the importance of “Guru” in our lives. I sometimes feel lucky to get in touch with my mentors who helped me understand simple arithmetic and complex algebras in lucid ways. From nursery school to post graduation there have been so many mentors who touched my life, but the most important thing which they implanted in me was an idea to progress in life and build my destiny. I may not contribute much on this respectful day, but I do believe I would really tribute my passion to write and this article to all my mentors who shaped my past, present and the future.

Happy Teachers’ Day!!!!!!
