Happy Teacher Day

__Sharad Borkar (WEB:journalistland.in)
On the 5th September I get many wishes on the event of TEACHERS DAY.
In my old days I used to hate a teacher whom I disliked because of his or her attitude towards me. But almost all in ten numbers there use to be 7-8 teachers out of ten to In my 10th standard I was chosen as a captain in NCC (AIR WING) crops. Late L.T. Deshpande chose me as HATTA KATTA amongst the boys who were lined up at the NCC parade ground at the Institute of Science, Nr. Nagpur University Nagpur.
They asked me to put on the NCC dress and a cap on my forehead with a mono of flying birds reflecting in me an inner voice to be different from others … to be considered to opt for a military service to be joined after my training.
I wore the same NCC dress of last year and went to school a little late after my parade finished. I was a captain in the previous year also. So the captaincy was there within me as a sergeant.
In the classroom I took my entry on that day & sat on the front desk being a class Caption. My teacher late Mrs. Malati Damle without any hesitation marked me present for a day, being she knew that I was late because of NCC parade of the students.
The day delighted me from early morning when I heard a nightingale crescendo woke me up in the morning and now I am again being announced a captain by the NCC officer at the NCC ground at the Institute of Science, Near Nagpur University Nagpur. I was in a happy mood since I was chosen as a captain of my scod 2nd time. I was a NCC captain for two consecutive years, it is great. My teacher & NCC officer was a Top Most officer on the ground of NCC and was always busy with some or other kind of official work. So I usede to handle on his behalf two school scods namely Kurveys and C.P.& Berar school and was one of the TOP RANKING CAPTAIN on the NCC ground.
I want to be a FAUJI in the days to come as my liking was to join Air Wing. In the races in the school playground I kicked off the football came in my way suddenly, even though I was not in the team. But I was the captain in 10th class of mine and on the NCC ground where both 1st & IInd year NCC CADETS marched on my order. So I heated the football and it rolled high in the air and came down on the Badminton Court. It broke the BADMINTON racquet into two pieces and I as a captain on both grounds was taken on task. PT teacher slapped me on my cheek for my over acting in the races. He penalised me with a huge amount which I was unable to pay.
The days passed by and after a fortnight a group of teachers came to my rescue in the teacher’s room, where I was being called by a PT teacher who was all the way rude to me from the day I was pain to pay the cost of badminton. The PT teacher repeatedly asking me a Receipt of the Fine, paid for the broken racquet, wherever he met me on my way.
The Teacher’s profession is on its 1st test of an individual’s life from KG to College, as I pointed out. They teach us the GURU-KILLI of life, which they have had experiences in their own life too. They took noble profession of teaching. They do eradicate the evil from within us as they know the actual life of their own students. They observed each and every action of students’ life, the way he behave in the class as a ZOPADPATTI or a student from the POSH corporation’s colony. You are BLACK or GORA. You are a sect of known DAS or DASGUPTA. But yes TEACHER teach to live life the way nature is and to enjoy the good values showered on us by the almighty.
5th September! A TEACHER DAY!
