It was one of the wonderful and memorable occasions for me when I met one of my school teachers recently! I met my teacher Ms. Sevanta Kadam after a long gap of 30 Years!
I had been to my native place Yamakanmardi (Dist.Belgaum) last month and planned it well and could meet her there. It was not only nostalgic but also rejuvenating to see her, meet and seek blessings again after such a long gap. I couldn't have asked for more.
She was quite updated about my where abouts through my family members there, but she took some time to recognize me and matching the face of this stout Arun uncle with that of that lean young school boy Arun whom she taught for 3 years in a row.
We used to have only one teacher per class as I was studying in Govt. Kannada Boys School. She taught us for three years in V, VI and VIIth standards. I was one of her pet most students in the class. I always used to remember her whenever there is Teachers Day. But due to some or other reasons, I was not able to contact her.
She worked for Govt.Kannada Boys School for a long time in her life and towards last few years ofshe got promoted as Head Mistress of service Govt.. Kannada Girls School.
My teacher got retired in 2001 , i.e. 10 years ago! But as you can see here, I was amazed to see that she is still so active in life, goes around places on her own and does all her work on her own.
These teachers are wonderful people who built the basic foundation and primary blocks of our life and career. They are so self less always.
I am happy that I met her ! It was some strange feeling of fulfillment away from all this mechanical and machine life...!
This time I have got her phone number also. Will not lose touch again! J
Thought of sharing this with you all.
