This Teachers' Day - My Checklist
A mountain of checking the speeches in writing A board with quotes where hyperbole floats More boards afloat where clichés bloat A Hasya Kavi Samelan, with goofed up syllabication Posters on teaching deprived of any meaning A saree in clutter with hurried up flutter Celebration ! Celebration ! and more jubilation Sweating and panting and endlessly wondering Am I really the one For whom this all was done !

(25.9.06 07:03) now that i am a mother of a son, i know the teachers really deervethe gifts that they receive. He is just 10 years old and doesnt understand the term "maska lagana'. So, when he choses the cards and gifts , it is out of genuine love and respect. Hats off to all you teachers ! |

(27.9.06 14:53) Hi Shankari Thanks...
Hi Tejbir Thanks for such beautiful words...best moods and best colours. Hi Anon Thanks. yes ten years old are rather innocent and their wishes genuine. It would have been wonderful if you left your email or website add. I would have enjoyed the privilege of visiting your site. Keep coming. |

Manish / Website (3.10.06 17:42) Hi, It seems the effort you invest in teaching is weighing heavily on you. Well, I admire that you keep pushing despite all this fatigue and meaninglessness. |

moodsandcolor / Website (4.10.06 15:25) Hi Manish You got the essence...but then the silver lining is that I enjoy being with my students ... teaching, guiding and interacing with them. It's the callousness of the system that bogs me down at times. |
|
Gangadhar / Website (4.10.06 15:34) Anjali, i've tagged you |
