I wish all teachers a very happy teachers day.
Today I am writing is about my teachers because of whom I am what I am today through this post.
I cannot take name of all the teachers who have thought me through out my life, I thank you all for coming as a teacher in my life.
If I look back to my primary school days, I remember few teachers, Out of them 'drawing' teacher was always kind to me. I also remember a teacher who would shout at me every day for not doing the home work, I cant forget the day when I was warned by my one of the teachers to expel from school. I cannot forget my PE teacher who has hit me the highest, sir I still remember the slap in my 5th std (wow! it was hard). I sincerely thank Manjula Miss for her encouragement in participating in the school quiz even i was a below average student.
When I was promoted to secondary school, waw... it was tough tough and tough..., very second week for 15 days continuously i was given punishment for doing mischievous things in class. It changed me completely, the way i leaved. I started studying from then. Kannada was my first language, Kannada teacher made me write handwriting practice every day 4pages... I used to curse her everyday, but i never did it sincerely, Honestly speaking madam, I am regretting on that mistake of mine now, I am sorry. I Sincerely thank then The Principal, Sis Beatrice, who was a very special person i have seen in my life till today. She is no more now, But i can never ever forget you sister.
Coming to inter, it was a hunt for marks and grades, first time hostel experience, 120Km away from home was a very bad start. I should thank Muttannavar sir who held me from escaping from there, if he wouldn'y have been there dont know how would i pass, and Annigeri sir, thank you very much for all your thoughts you have sowed in me. I am trying to follow all of them even now.
Then came the Engineering life, getting into one of the premier institute of Karnataka (BVBCET Hubli), was a great experience. I had a hundred plus teachers there, I cannot control myself without mentioning some names Murty Sir, Halesh Sir, Rohini Maam, Hemanth Sir, My Vice Prini Prof Desai BL, a man who recognized something in me, encouraged through out, I remember his words "Rajat, you cannot say this, It has to be done by tommorrow". Sir, now i see to it that the works that i do are to a certain per-fixed standard, thank you for that. Also my HOD Banakar Madam, I remember saying "Go home, and enjoy", for a shivaratri holiday, it had been 5 months i had not gone home. Maam, there is no one saying this to me now !, thanks a lot.
Then, I came through a teacher, who changed my life. Greatest teacher of my life, I would consider him as an angel, who guided me. The man of values, Technical very strong, Dr PS Bhat. Shastanga namaskaragalu nimage. I never dreamed of an IIT, you sowed me this thought and made me to realize that nothing is impossible. Sir, your saying lingers in my ears, "If you know that you are wrong, admit it, make sure that you will not repeat, but never deny a mistake of yours". Sir, thanks a lot for being my teacher.
I know i have missed many names, I thank all my teachers for your guidance to me at the right time.
Happy teachers day.
Thank you
