( I was going through my old stuff and found this short poem which I had written when I was 17. Feel it requires a presence on the blog)
Thank you teachers, for....
Not only teaching us the literature written eons ago,
but also the 'grammatical' rules of life.
Not only teaching us the parts of a flower,
but also for 'planting' humane qualities of love and kindness.
Not only teaching us the properties of sound waves,
but also not to go by the 'optical illusions' of the world.
Not only teaching us about the organic reactions,
but also the 'equations' needed to lead a successful life.
Not only teaching us the geography of unseen land,
but also for 'culturing' in us, a positive outlook towards life.
Not only teaching us algebra and arithmetics,
but also for grooming us into 'different'-ial individuals.
Not only teaching us about worldly knowledge and gains,
but also about spiritual and ethical values.
Above all...
Thank you, teachers for...
Not only teaching concepts and theories,
but also for encouraging and inspiring us with your
exemplary ways and golden thoughts.
(Dedicated to all the teachers who have taught me over the years)
