I joined as a teacher in ChristJyoti School, Nagaon, my first job. Though it was for a short period, I received the love and warmth of my darling little students, and was lucky enough to experience the importance of teachers’ day. I was pampered with lots many chocolates, flowers, gifts and greeting cards. Looking back, actually it was a heaven on earth.. to be surrounded by those little angels...innocent, eager, inquisitive and naughty. They love to share their tiffins , their secrets and lots many stories. I still love that smell ...a mixture of bread, butter, fruits…! After two years, it was a repetition at Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan’s Mehta Vidyalaya..there I was a trainee teacher… the same experience and love of all those little ones.. beautiful handmade greeting cards and flowers…!
All these years, I was a teacher in some way or other. I taught many international students from Ireland, Germany, UK, US, Japan, Switzerland, Hungary and Spain about Indian culture, needs and importance of volunteering in India and most importantly, how to accept and adopt the cultural differences. I taught rural youth from almost all over India, the importance of dedicated youth service in the Country and how to come up as a successful youth leader in development sector. Now I am teaching students from interdisciplinary background with wide age range, the skills of counseling and guidance.
It is wonderful to be a teacher...I enjoyed and am enjoying every moment of my sharing with my students. It was always both ways learning.. thank you all my dear students.. you made my life worth living.. God bless you
