For my entire childhood, I'd never heard of a Valentine's day. Mother's day, Father's day, and Sister's day....? Nope! We did observe a Teacher's day. I knew, that it's the birthday of a great philosopher, our former president, a great Indian Teacher.
I wish all my teachers, on this teacher's day, the very best. I remember all of those great minds, who triggered my mind to learn.
I remember the sweet and loving Lalithambika teacher in my kindergarten, Narayani Amma teacher, my class teacher for the first standard, Meenakshi Teacher, Krishnan Nair Sir, Merci teacher, all in the humble Lower Primary School in my village, Kariyam. All of them were
very loving, and some, very strict.
In the upper primary, the nature of teachers slowly changed. I saw a number of dedicated teachers like Ramachandran Sir, Madhavan Nair Sir, Thomas Sir, Thankamoney Sir and Raveendran Sir. If I acquired some skills to appreciate poetry, it is due to Thankamoney Sir,
my class teacher for class 10. I still remember the way he taught us Daffodils. I remember the loving Raveendran Sir, who inspired us all to try our hand at poetry.
In the pre-degree college, only one Teacher got my respect and admiration. That's Sivasankara Pillai Sir, who taught Physics. I was lucky
enough to
be in his class in the next year, in College of Engineering also. He was a noble man, very cool and neutral, and I will remember him for his elegant teaching.
In the Engineering College, Dr. Krishnamoorthy Iyer, who taught us Network Theory, is in my memories in the first place.
Why I like Power Electronics? Beacuse I liked Jose sir, the professor who taught us Power Electronics, and he, with his unique style, initiated my interest in PE.
The greatest teachers that I have ever seen, in terms of the philosophy of teaching, and the dedication, commitment, are in IISc. Professor VR, and VTR. I adore them a lot.
I wish I could do some justice to their expectations.
I confess I didn't.
