A teacher is a
dispeller of darkness - The darkness of ignorance!!
Today - 5th September
- is indeed a special day for the teaching fraternity!
The day that
commemorates the birthday of one of the renowned alumnus of Madras Christian College -
Dr Sarvepalli Radhakhrishnan, a philosopher and a teacher par excellence, who
studied in Madras Christian College for five long years - which, as he later
acknowledges, had laid the strong foundations for his future dynamism as the
leader of this great country – having become the second President of India - and
also for his immense contribution to the Indian education system.
Dr Radhakhrishnan
believed that ‘teachers should be the best minds in the country’. On this great
day, we gratefully remember this legend - our great educationist, apart from honoring
all the teachers who have made our lives much more brighter and for having enlightened us in
all facets of our life.
Thank you dear
Teachers for being the prime dispellers of the darkness of ‘ignorance’ during
every stage of our life. It is impossible to imagine our lives without you! You
have laid the foundations for our life. For this and more, we can never thank
you enough, dear teachers - your immense love, dedication and encouragement
in our lives. Today, it is our duty to celebrate and show our acknowledgement
and recognition of the hard work put in by you - towards our development.
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.
