The earliest memories of this awesome day are when a bottle of Pepsi, 4 toffees and an exciting fancy dress competition awaited us at KG-C at DBL - Mam Starry !!!! The DBL journey brought icons such as Ms Ann (singing classes), Mrs Kaur, Samita Guha, Mam Rupasree, Joe Pathickal, Fr Dominic and Sir Thomas Dias profoundly impacting our lives.
Later our world expanded and the word "teacher" encompassed those from St Xavier's, Prof Hanif, Madam Saswati and an entire galaxy of super professors....they made the transition from Science to Commerce so easy
Then came professional coaching centres who were, truly speaking, professionals but they were amazing (Jayesh Sir, Sanjay Saraf Sir, Sudarshan Sir, Beri Sir, Alok Sir) . They made the CA exam journey much easier
Bosses in corporate life also taught a lot, some in a mild manner and some in maybe the harsh way, because probably they were paying us now..but the learning was the most effective
Teachers at AOL
Even a stranger whom you suddenly meet on the road or a flight or in a conference ( Dilip Apte Sir) and leaves you with a lesson for a lifetime
Students with whom I had the wonderful opportunity to interact with during my short stints across those ICFAIs and SMUs of the world, Edzonex (Harsh and Parul) and finally the most precious, the super talented ones whom I met during those 6 hour GMCS sessions, maybe a 1000+ who have added me on FB but few have really touched me and stayed in touch all this long...and left such remarkable memories that I miss those GMCS classes so much
and now some wonderful Profs at IIMA: they are like walking encyclopedias, just sit in their class and let yourself swim in the ocean of knwoledge, Prof Arvind Sahay, Prof Shailesh Gandhi, Prof Sunil Sharma, Prof Satish Deodhar
We are whatever we are today because of our teachers
Happy Teachers Day !!!
