Teachers' day











We love them, we disagree with them, we irritate them and we believe in them. We just can’t have enough of them. Such is the importance of teachers in our lives, we just can’t ignore them.
Indeed, the relationship with teachers is special .From time immemorial our culture has highlighted the importance of teacher. In Mahabharat, Eklavya believed that even his thumb, essential for using bow and arrows, is a small price for his archery training. Vivekananda spent his life promoting the message of his teacher Swami Rama Krishna Paramhans. And for those who believe that these relationships are story of yesteryears, this is what Google founders have to say for Mr Rajiv Motwani, their teacher and mentor, after his death-
''Today, whenever you use a piece of technology, there is a good chance a little bit of Rajeev Motwani is behind it.''
GMP batch incidentally did not take long to recognize the contribution of our professors. So the batch decided that it is an ideal opportunity to thank those who change the course of our lives. A small teachers’ day get together was organized on fifth September at GMP dining hall.
Everybody dressed up for the occasion and the eagerness to welcome our mentors was difficult to contain. Teachers, families, students, other guests were all a unit within no time. What followed could be termed only as bliss, a state of profound satisfaction and joy. Everybody was involved wholeheartedly in the various games and activities that followed. Individuality succumbed to the environment of commonality. It was the religion, of oneness, that each involuntarily converted to and the enjoyment thus grew many folds.
Time but was envious and it just flew by. A gradual depopulation engulfed our venue and the gathering withered. The party ended.
What remained, but, is here to stay. All of us are deeply indebted to our teachers for sharing their valuable time with us. This interaction has increased our respect and trust in our gurus. There are innumerable support systems for learning, but the student – teacher interface is by far the most valuable. This get together has strengthened this interface and we plan not to miss any opportunity to increment this strength.
Bill Gates said,” “Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.”

We love them
We love them
We love them . We just can’t have enough of them.
