THE '7 NUGGETS OF WISDOM' OF MY FAVOURITE TEACHER! #BlogchatterBlogHop

They were years early 60s and I still distinctly remember this day too..

Up to class 7 of my schooling, just looking at Mathematics was a big terror for me as I could never understand the head and tail of the subject till then. In fact, in my 6th and 7th classes of schooling, my parents had a doubt whether I would pass the examinations of Maths..

By God's Grace I crossed that stage securing minimum pass and soon was into 8th class when Composite Maths was introduced fresh which added further tension in me making me become a totally disoriented student. The algebra in front was nothing but Greek and Latin to me and I was totally a lost person when I started comparing myself with the then classmates of mine in coping up with the subject..

At that stage, we had a new Maths Teacher who happened to be truly the God Send and was the total savior of my further schooling..

Even now I don't know how it worked. Under the expert guidance of my that ever revered Maths Teacher, I started picking up the subject very fast and soon developed a certain interest in that direction. My that Teacher was truly

• Good,
• Soft spoken,
• Never scolding,
• Never Ruling,
• Constantly understanding,
• Gentle in guiding and above all
• A Gandhian Follower at heart..

A Personality of 7 Nuggets of Wisdom

Who made me

• Not only understand the subject but equally

• Kindled the budding interest in the very subject to such a high level

Which I can't imagine till date how all that happened..

Further story followed totally in positive direction. I picked up there so fast, soon got into Engineering where

• The toughest Maths became my favorite subject and

• 95 to 100% was the min score I got in all 7 Maths subjects of 5 yrs which paved my way to secure

• First Rank and Gold Medal at the University level and later in

• PG Maths at IIT, Kanpur where the Grade was sure the very much expected 'A'..

Again to say here..

What ever the choice be in answering the Maths questions, every time,

• I invariably used to answer all without an exception in the allocated time and then only leave the Exam Hall..

Further, I can vouch 100% that a dedicated Teacher of that time had truly laid that single foundation of kindling a deep interest in me in the core subject in the right time..

My regards to that Great Personality ever remain in my heart!
