September 5

Chitragupta would have recorded a sin in my lifebook if I had not posted my writing to the blog this day . He would have also recorded a crime if I had written on any other topic except my ‘TEACHERS’ on this day.

I bow, thank, praise or whatever it is, on this fantastic day for them. I really remember all my teachers from my LKG in Israel Matriculation School to SRM School of Management. A preview about them:

Padmini Miss:
She was not only an all-in-one subject teacher in my primary classes, but also taking care of administration of the school. She still remembers me and my gang.

Nixie Miss:
I secured only 10 marks in mathematics in the entrance exam. The principal on the recommendation from this teacher admitted me to the school for my 7th Class. She added a ‘0’ to my mark making it 100. She made me to secure a centum in the final exam which was a surprise to all in my class and the principal (me too). In fact, I begun to like both the subject and the __________

Narasimhan Sir:
He is another mathematics teacher during my 11th class. I will be the only person to ask doubts to him during the class. One day while solving a problem on the board, he turned back, called me and said, “Rajaram, I know for sure... You will become great one day”. It still puzzles me the context he uttered that statement. Anyway, he is a true visionary.

Mahan Maharaj:
A white cotton dhoti showing the down quarter of the leg, a white cotton shirt, full shaven head with a little ‘kudumi’ in the back head is the appearance of this gentleman monk who has done PhD in Computer Science from Berkley. He was just 26 years old when he was teaching me. I admire him much for his simplicity.

Dr. Jayashree Suresh:
This 60 year young lady has inspired, supported and encouraged me everyday during my two years of MBA. Not only me, the whole batch of students are very much grateful to her. Her advice to students is to;
“Learn through Application, Participation and Experience.”
I call her as Lady Gandhi, not only deriving the name from her nature, but also by her birth date which is the same for M. K. Gandhi which falls a day after mine.

Mr. Sudeep Jain:
This person is not a teacher and has not taught me anything off campus. But I have learnt a lot from him which is not in books. He gave a biggest and rarest gift called “CHANCE”. This astounding personality from UP has an Engineering Degree, a MBA and the most dignified qualification in India- the IAS . This Guinness Book Record holder always stresses the importance of POSITIVE ATTITUDE.


This is just a partial list of teachers who had only seen the good half of mine. I also thank the remaining set of teachers who have tried their best to correct me many times. I wish to convey them that I am the same Rajaram till now who has never forgotten the past.

LONG LIVE THEIR SERVICE
