Who cares about teachers' day! I guess there are some kind souls like you, who do!❤️❤️❤️ A wonderful essay, totally worthy of being read out at the school assembly - cold or no cold! And I agree with every word you wrote about Natasha and Raju!

I smiled all the way reading through this Savvy. The things we remember, the things people say and do that leave a mark, make or break us. Lovely essay.

My maths teacher used to tell us to "jump out of the window and get married!" I know a lot of girls from my class did just that. Anything was better than maths class in those days. Thank you for this trip down memory lane :)

🤣. this teacher of yours was clearly some very twisted combination of my chemistry and hindi teacher.

All teachers go to heaven, but maybe the good ones get to stay in the presidential suites.

Thank you for pointing me to this essay. Good memories make for excellent story telling. And as for Natasha and Raju and one other teacher I will write another post. They are a class apart. It requires acquiring some worldly wisdom before we appreciate what these people bring to our lives; our milk teeth cannot quite bite into their fare.
