Teacher’s Day Special Chat:

Rohit Choudhary:

“Ms. Waalia, one of my primary school teachers, was extraordinarily warm and caring. I liked her and remember excitedly preparing questions and answers for her class. I was pretty mischievous in middle school and senior high school. I’d sit at the front desk and pull practical jokes on everyone. However, I stayed incredibly active and passionate about athletics throughout my academic career.”

Lokit Phulwani:

“During my time in Dubai, Preeti Ma’am was the teacher who had the greatest impact on my life. Respect is earned, not given; challenges make you stronger; be curious and never stop learning; and embrace mistakes as stepping stones to advancement are some of the major life lessons I gained from Mom. I was a highly obedient student who was very concerned with timeliness, responsibility, self-control, rule respect, accountability, and perseverance.”

Kavitta Verma:

“I was an exceptionally intelligent student who truly enjoyed my professors’ sessions. My physics and drama teachers, in particular, had a unique place in my heart. I feel that science and theatre are inextricably linked. Anuradha Kapoor, my teacher, taught me a crucial lesson: one should not emphasise everything in life’s path. This wisdom has remained with me throughout the years.”

Aradhana Sharma:

“When it comes to myself, I was a pretty brilliant and studious student. I was the head girl at my school and was well-known for my hard work in the classroom. Learning was really important to me. Throughout my school and college years, I had the pleasure of meeting a few teachers whom I genuinely appreciated. One of them was Nutan Sharma, my high school maths teacher, and the other was my Hindi instructor.”

Simple Kaul:

“My teachers at school were wonderful. I used to adore my sculpture instructor. He taught me how to produce human forms, faces, sketches, and pottery when I was very interested in arts. I recall how much I enjoyed his class, and how I would spend 3-4 hours in his class during my leisure time. He was an excellent teacher who taught me both how to make and value art. I was completely committed.”

Akshay Anand:

“I vividly recall our Hindi teacher, Gupta sir. He used to sing poems with Bollywood song themes, and I remember them even after decades. Those were the finest days when there was no strain and simply fun. I was an introverted child, yet I got along well with all kinds of students, from the front benches to the rear. It’s odd, but it’s true.”
