Those Who made our Lives Worthwhile...!!!

Last month, I went to my home to celebrate "Rakshabandhan". I was home after about 7 months, so I didn’t miss any opportunity to enjoy each and every moment to its fullest. I also decided to help my younger brother in his preparation for the upcoming exams. He is in Second standard and hence requires utmost attention in studies. I first started with "English" subject and when I saw the chapter, the first thought that came to my mind was "What’s the big deal in this?" But it was not less than "Burning the midnight oil" when it came to explaining the chapter to him and the worst part was to make him learn the answers for those silly questions. I wonder how my parents would have dealt with me when I was a child! Next day, he came to me with a maths book in his hand and asked me review the numbers from 1 to 1000 which he has written as a part of his homework. I must say that the numbers were correct, but the mess he had created while writing them was horrible. He is too lazy to even use an eraser if something goes wrong, as a result of which he simply overwrites making it difficult for others to read. And then I had to spent another hour in helping him with the corrections. There were lots of such incidents, but what touched me deeply was the fact that I was simply helping him out with his studies, while the people who laid foundations for him were his teachers. I am not really sure about how much efforts teachers put these days on their students, but I remembered my time when my teachers used to teach me how to hold a Pencil in my hand and then slowly helped me writing every letter and number. My teachers were the ones who taught me how to pronounce letters and read words and sentences which slowly became the stepping stone to my success. I am sure; you would also remember your teachers on reading this post and thank them one way or the other for making you what you are today. On this "Teacher’s Day", a special tribute to all the teachers who have lit the candle of light in our lives.
