DVV!

Almost 6 yrs after i passed out,i visited the school premises to change the address of the first bank account i ever had.The address still read 8th std,MMHS,Mysore. :D

When i was near the doorstep,i noticed the diminutive lady,clad in a cream and purple saree.I still remember that saree,the same she'd worn when she first tried to teach us Chemistry.I was doubtful whether she would even remember me.Well,the school had 6 sections each consisting of 100+ students passing out every year.Nevertheless,i approached her.

"Good morning ma'am".

"Good morning!"

She stared at me for a few moments and she told me,

"I remember you.Your face especially.But i dont remember your name".

You had to grant her the privilege of forgetting my name.Then she continued on,asking me what i was doing etc.She even told me I was looking cute. :P
Then i enquired about her health and she told me she just had a operation the previous month and they had found a tumor.Yet,there she was-standing in front of me,as enthusiastic as the first memory i have of hers.

"You're a strong woman ma'am."

"Of course! Ive had 6 operations so far.I have a lot of will power"

I guess this is what Mari's does to you.Irrespective of whether you're a teacher or a student.

Then she pointed towards a middle aged bespectacled man passing who wished her a good day.She later told me that he was also her student.
Teaching,must be one of the most satisfying jobs that one can do.
