Stuttering baby rhyme

Little Miss Muffet

To the sagacious aura of bliss

Wafting across eternity

The Anhad Naad sounds of divinity

Reverberating in the firmament

It’s the teacher who is king

Lighting lamps on the clay walls

Of endless questing minds

Bowing in reverence to all

Who shaped my putty

Each living day

 For all my teachers in class and out of it

The lotus feet of the guru

Who taught the first lisping

Stuttering baby rhyme

Little Miss Muffet

To the sagacious aura of bliss

Wafting across eternity

The Anhad Naad sounds of divinity

Reverberating in the firmament

It’s the teacher who is king

Lighting lamps on the clay walls

Of endless questing minds

Bowing in reverence to all

Who shaped my putty

Each living day

“A teacher affects eternity;he can never tell where his influence stops.”

HB Adams .

I firmly believe in the potent power that a teacher wields over the minds and choices of his students.His whole persona along with his subtle,nuanced suggestions that are reflected in his own lifestyle, leave a deep embossing and etching on the future of his followers. In unknown ways,the classroom is always alive in our present thought processes. Blessed are those who learnt at the feet of stalwarts, as we did.I am honoured and puffed up with genuine pride to name some of the luminous stars who are still moulding my thoughts.

I bow in silent adoration to late Ms Caroline John who rapped us on the knuckles to din some sense as well as to correct Hindi spellings.Her stern countenance and strictness kept us on our toes while her golden heart kept us out of harm’s way. I also salute your crisp cotton sarees and perfectly coiffured hair dear ‘miss’ Caroline John., for you taught discipline even by your impeccable turn out. The school excursions with you were memorable to say the least.

I must talk now of the lady who left an indelible mark on my heart and mind, as she zoomed in on her two-wheeler with a sun hat and a baby girl, riding pillion.The unbelievable, Parmindar Irvine,who cast a spell with her, infectious laughter and brilliant personality.She, who taught us to enunciate words with the right emphasis, who explained how a vowel had to be bitten or rolled; who showed us the wonders of Shakespeare as she guided our elocution classes. Poetry came alive;drama with her was magical, as one play acted characters created by Sheridan and Oscar Wilde.I can’t ever say enough about the imprint,her yellow high heeled sandals, left on my gaping eyes. Salutations madame Parmindar Irvine.

This is also a great day to thank all the bevy of brains who remain gurus by allowing us “to light our candles from the brilliant fire of their infernos. Sir Surendra Pravesh Singh thank you for being a part of our journey of life.

I revere madame Jayashree Roy for her patient reading of my essays in high school . Her cute smile lit up my heart if she nodded in praise. Thank you miss.

What a teacher writes on the blackboards of life can never be erased.The humans mentioned here remain in my life due to the magical web of the internet , but those who remain in my heart are remembered with the same humility  too.
