Today is teacher’s day. When we think of this word “Teacher” we only remember our school & college teachers and I always find this idea very weird. 

When you look for a dictionary meaning of this word you will find it as a person who teaches esp. in a school. But for me the meaning of this word has always been very comprehensive.

I often think why this teacher’s day is only confined to school or college teachers?? Today I would like to share a wider meaning of this term so that next year you can celebrate this day as even more grand.
I am very sure we all must have heard these phrases some or the other time:

“The home is child’s first school, and the mother is the first teacher.”
“Nature is the best teacher.”
“Learning is a lifelong process.”
“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lessons afterwards”.

I have been reading and listening the above few quotes since childhood and found them very true. 

So when I woke up in the morning today and realized its teacher’s day I first picked the phone to call my mother (my first teacher) & thanked her (just by talking few minutes to her and saying that I Miss you) for all those things she taught me (like standing, walking, eating, talking) and I know we can never say thanks for the things our parents have gave and taught us but I just tried my bit.  Then I spent some time looking in the sky, the sun, the trees and the birds thanking Mother Nature for being so humble and forgiving for us. I have spent some time thinking about the past life and the lessons it taught me.
                                                         
But last not the least I also remembered all my school & college teachers for their teachings, love and support and off course that homework and scolding part also came uninvited. But it was all so refreshing and lovely. I tried to call one of my favorite school teachers (Ms. Rajeshwari Kapri) but the call was unable to connect (felt a little sad) but that’s O.k.

Happy Teacher’s Day Mam

I really enjoyed the day thinking about my teachers and I just can’t forget to thank the one more wonderful teacher I have and he is my dear husband.  Harshit has also been a learning institution for me. I often call him my Google. He taught me many things and has been a true guide for me.

So dear friends like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan says “ Sikhna band to Jeetna band”, so keep learning & keep growing and keep thanking all your lovely teachers.

Happy Teacher’s Day

Please do share your ideas & opinions with me.

Singing error or a error singer

  I received lot of compliments about my voice that I talk softly, I have lovely voice, I talk very clear and slowly but the irony of the whole thing is that when ever I sing (just to my self) and people happen to hear they laugh. There is a common opinion about my singing that I sing as if it's not a song but a poem. Oh I hate to hear this but helpless. I try my level best to sing well.      Once in my school there was a singing competition and my teacher was asking students to come up for singing and as I was in her good books she called me for singing, I got up reluctantly but gave my best performance and the response she gave was shocking. She said you don't want to participate in the completion that is why you are singing so badly. Oh no this is not true.     Since then I have received these types of comments often. But I don't care. I know there is a problem with my Sur and Taal but how does that can stop me for singing.    ...

QUESTIONS UNANSWERED

Is there any joke which can make a seriously ill person suffering from cancer  laugh? Is there any book which the most depressed person can read and enjoy? Is there any music which can heal wounds? Is there any movie which can help to forget the troubles of life? Is there something in the world which can reduce the pain of losing the beloved one? Searching the answers of the above but I think the answer is no, none or nothing. Feeling a bit sad, depressed as I am missing my family (especially my mother) and the thought of dilip mama’s health is hammering again and again my mind. It’s almost 1 and a half year since he is suffering from the most serious and deadly disease cancer. I still remember the day well when I spoke to him over the phone listening he is not well. I said “ kya hua mama?” He replied with innocence and a smile “ pata nahi beta pet main kuch gadbad hai” Actually initially he was suffering from stomach ache and after visiting several doctors ...
