Teachers' Day Celebrations

 

Teachers day was celebrated on 4th September 2020 all across the country to commemorate the life of Dr. S.Radhakrishnan. English association came up with a few innovative ideas to make the day colourful and live. The first years were invited for an essay competition on the topic "My Favourite Teacher". All the freshers enthusiastically sharpened their pens and expressed their writing skills  as it was a chance to scribble something serious after a long gap of unprecedented vacation. Nandanalaksmi M, Jijikumar Velaydhan and Gouri R bagged First, Second and Third prizes. 

Special wishing cards were made for all the teachers of the department with their photos and were sent to them by mail and whats app. Nikhil of third U.G. designed all the cards exhibiting  his exuberant artistic talents into each and everyone of them. A video compiling all these cards was prepared by Athul of Second Year U.G. 

The association also made the day eventful by each and every student sending an email to the principal wishing him teachers' day greetings as it could be his last teachers' day in the campus since he is retiring at the end of this academic year. 

MY FAVORITE TEACHER: Nandanalakshmi M- First Prize

“A teacher is the one who illuminates both the mind and heart of a child”

 

I still remember the first day with which I was taken to the corridors of an unknown place, with darts of felicitations, loud cries of little kids like me, and colors of rainbow balloons all around. It was a fresh dawn of school-life, that became splendid with a cluster of wonderful people. From the pre KG teachers who held our little hands to the world of alphabets and numerals, to the faculties of Science batch who guided us to handle the potentiometer and pipettes with precision, I’ve got many teachers with unique styles who gifted the same essence of love and compassion.

The glitters of my most favorite Ranjitha teacher who led our class in both grades 3 and 4, is always exceptional. She is one of the most vibrant women I’ve seen so far, who brought up all the potentials in me. She instilled confidence, directed us to read more and would always say; “Each bit of paper you read, is an ocean of knowledge”. She portrayed the influence of Science from the boiling point of a bed coffee to the expanded rotations of a regulator that enriched her classes with fun and fascinations and I always had an alacrity to listen to them.

She taught us the lessons of life and boosted courage to overcome any fear. She guided us to become independent by being self- motivated, and her words always give a positive aura for me. During all walks of my life, Ranjitha teacher is my constant companion and a solution to any scrapes or squeezes. Even after these long nine years, her tutelage, maternal affection and stimulus emanates those evocations again and again.

It is absolutely true that teachers affect the eternity and no one can tell where their influence stops. On this occasion, I profusely thank all our teachers for their unvarying buttress and unalloyed love. Once again, HAPPY TEACHERS DAY to all those ineffable hearts.

My Favourite Teacher: Gouri R- Third Prize

 

My Favourite Teacher: Jiji Kumar Velayudahan- Second Prize

 "A life of joy and happiness is possible only on the basis of knowledge "         

     

                              - Dr.S.Radhakrishnan 

 A teacher is the one who casts away the darkness of ignorance and lets in the ray of wisdom. A teacher's motive is not just aiming at the academic excellence of a child,but all together a holistic development. And it is he who imparts knowledge, discipline, self esteem, humility, compassion and all other integral attributes to a developing young generation. There are four important figures in a person's life;"Matha, Pitha, Guru, Daivom (Mother, Father, Teacher, God).It is the teacher who introduces us to the unending world of knowledge. 

                   Teaching profession not only matters respect and dignity, it is a self satisfaction of getting into a noble cause and above all there is no better deed than imparting knowledge to someone. Without a teacher the world would be bland, if so there would be a world where intolerance, injustice, and brutality prevailed. 

                      My favourite teacher is Fr.Roy Varghese. He was my Physics teacher. Hailing from a humble background he was an ever enduring, free spirited person full of life. Not only in the academic pursuits  he was cautious about the overall development and participative nature of all of his students. Nevertheless he never shown any comparison between his students. In the worst and best circumstances of our school life he was anchor of support and encouragement. He always insisted us to break the barricade of our comfort zones and explore the realities of the world. 

                     A trait which made him unique was his compassion and reverential love towards the suffering and underprivileged In a world where everyone is busy immersed in their own world, he nurtured and took care of them. He was the head of the Social Service Club of our school and who else could be.He knew what 'Humanity' meant in its deepest sense. He was the embodiment of all encompassing love. A Champion who works for a noble cause in its truest sense. A great role model to follow!

                        Today, September 5th,2020 on the occasion of teachers day let us all celebrate and embrace their tireless and innumerable efforts and voices. In these testing times, these unsung heroes holds our digital classrooms together. It is within their hands, where future of tomorrow resides.A Teacher is the personification of divinity;Gu-darkness ru-enemy, he is the enemy of darkness;without whom we could never ever be who we are today. As Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai said "A pen, a book,a teacher, a student could change the world ".
