My Teachers

When I say Teacher, everyone would think about some respected figure or father figure in their minds and try to recall their experiences with them. When I think of teachers, there are many waves which come to my mind, one after another, flashing my holiest course with them, the things I learnt from them, things which they make me learn. Remember the beautiful relationship you shared with your favorite teachers, they showed us the direction, and they gave us the potential of being ourselves. There are many teachers which I came across, I don’t remember their names but yes, I could recognize them by their style of teaching and by face probably! I want to thank them from bottom of my heart because of whom I am the way I am , those teachings made me the person I am today, the person who somehow knows how to deal with outer world and the person who can make others think.

I have seen different kinds of teachers who by their own way helped me. During my Initial stage of schooling those teachers built up the basic morals which I have with me till date and will be there with me always forever. Then a bunch of teachers came into my life those helped changing me radically. The person inside me started thinking when I came across those set of people. I don’t know where they are today, I want to meet them and thank them what I have got from them as a gift and they made the rock inside me, hardcore me was built then. Then I came across a Gita teacher, who made me read Gita more than 2-3times. Though I read that by myself, whatever I could understand then was because of him. After my course, I have started keeping a Gita with me, which was a hidden source of energy for me. When I was away from home then, I use to read Gita when I feel depressed. I would say whoever is reading this, should keep a Gita, I can say from my experience it helps a lot, by reading one sloka would help a lot, spreads positive vibes in your body, you start feeling better about yourself, your surroundings.
During my engineering I met one teacher, who was an expert during that time, we studied in Bhubaneswar which was a small town then, it was hard to find a good teacher for your subject. Luckily we got hold of the teacher, who made us inclined to our stream.

Now after a 5-6years of job in software industry, I have got a chance to study in a world-class college, where I am coming across amazingly different set of teachers who are not only experts of what they teach but somewhat beyond that. When you are expert of something, there is nothing to fear, they can take the class to a different level, I was thriving for these kinds of teaching experiences ;may be this was my latent need, which I didn’t know before.

I am so overwhelmed by their gracious teachings; I thank them all and expect their blessings for me. I wish, someday I would become a teacher and would be able to radiate the same energy that my teachers given me.

I know, I am bit late for this post, which I would have done earlier but it’s never too late for thanking your teachers!
