Happy Teacher’s Day

5th September, birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, is celebrated as Teacher’s Day all around the country. This day holds a very special importance for me, coming from a background where teaching is taken as a profession by most of my family members.

Teacher’s lays the foundation stone in everybody’s life… and I feel the best teachers are our parents…we learn so much from them, observing them, asking them, arguing with them, and at times by simply blindly complying with them…

I could recall a Doha for this…
"Guru Govind Dohu Khade
Kake Lagu Paye
Balihari guru aapno
Jo Govind Diyo bataye"
This means: If my Teacher and God both are standing in front of me than I would bow and take blessings of my Teacher first, coz it’s the teacher who has shown me the path to God (some what like this).

I take this opportunity to Thank all my teachers …
Today whatever I have achieved they have a role to play it that… and it is their teachings and blessings which has helped me to reach wherever I’m.

This day is so special for me for another reason. From 1997 to 2001 I’ve performed on the annual cultural program, which we used to have on 5th Sept. Today sitting in office I’m feeling so dull, I used to be fully charged up on this day, taking control of the entire cultural program, right from compeering the shows to acting and directing stage plays, to fusion dance, to reciting poems… nothing was left untouched… the amount of fame I used to get on this day was exceptional… my self-confidence got a great boost due to these activities.

When I compeered a show for the first time my cousin was in 4th Std., and today he will performing for the first time on stage… I wish him success and good luck.

Last year, we 4 friends who were together during our CA days, met and called our teachers… today also I’ll be calling my Chachu from whom I’ve learned so much, not only professionally but also personally… and ofcourse my parents, who have always guided me and supported me…

My teachers, I love you for everything and I thank you for making my life a beautiful place to live in.
