Even as I look back with nostalgia at my school & college life, my mind and my heart direct me to the one great source of knowledge – the fountain of wisdom – the spring of love – my dearest treasures, my teachers! With fire in their eyes, commitment in their words, determination in their minds, love in their hearts, and the utmost dedication for their students -  being always there for me, to motivate me, to encourage me, to believe in me, and to help me face the problems of life, by giving me practical, life-sustaining values which will always be remembered, cherished and followed.

On this precious day, I thank my dear Lord Almighty for graciously giving me such wonderful teachers – the best in the world – and the dearest too, exclusively for me.!!!

Dearest Teachers, I have just one grateful line of gratitude for you:

Thank you so much!
