"A good teacher can light up a thousand lives."

Today marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. In his honor, India celebrates Teachers’ Day across the nation. #TeachersDay 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫

In my life, I have been blessed with many teachers. But my very first teacher was my mother.

The door of our house was my blackboard. With a bowl of rice in her hand, she became both a mother and a teacher to me.

During my early school days, it was Mrs. Chellamma and Mrs. Eswari who helped me shed the fear of nursery and primary school, making me walk into classrooms with joy. For this, I remain forever grateful.

It was Mrs. Hemavathi, my Tamil teacher, who inspired me to write essays fluently and with ease.

It was Mrs. Janaki, my science teacher, who sparked in me a lasting curiosity for science.

History and Civics were never “just subjects” in textbooks because of Mrs. Shanta and Mrs. Vasantha. They taught me to see them as living, breathing ideas—something I continue to read with fascination even today.

In college, Professor Raj Mannar gave me encouragement I’ll never forget. Many times, he pointed to me in class and said, “He will become a great man one day.” That faith has always been a source of motivation in my journey.

Beyond professors, I cannot forget my friend David. After college hours, it was he who patiently taught me many subjects. His lectures helped me successfully complete my degree.

Later, once I joined the IT industry, my first team lead, Doss, became a teacher in his own way.

He taught me not just technical skills, but also work culture, discipline, and the balance between personal and professional life.

From being a hand that once needed help to becoming a hand that now helps others,

I bow down with gratitude to all the teachers who shaped me into an engineer in this society. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

"A teacher imparts knowledge;

A true teacher shows how to live with it."

Every teacher I have met in my life has done both.

To each of them, my heartfelt respect and gratitude.
