Today, got up from bed when my cell cried out, the alarm had
almost pierced my drum to awake my consciousness. I couldn’t be lazy today,
because we were having ENT university practical exam. After getting ready with
my head stuffed up with various topics, I just had a look on my cell, to see
for the date and time (I was unaware about the date till then!). It’s September 5
th,
teacher’s day. Awwww..!!! Sooner some faces appeared in my mind, of the best
teachers I had. Among those faces, I was remembering Parasuraman sir. For me he
is the best teacher and guide I had ... Some teachers can influence some pupil
in a better way right, and the same for me. Remembering him for a while and
praying for his blessings, I moved to exam hall...After having done with that, I
was going home and all the way I
was
trying to recollect those chemistry classes we had.

Parasuraman sir is a tall, little over weighed and fair person
enjoying his 60s. “Kuri” on the forehead is his hallmark. Some innocent grays
can be seen popping out from his nearly bald and so on his ears. He teaches
chemistry at Prof PC Thomas Institute, Thrissur, which is a favorite place for left
outs to remember and a dreaded one for on goers!!!.When the pupils around were dying
hard competing at the best, being selfish from the roots, sir taught about
sharing of knowledge, some soft speech and smiles. Chemistry has been the most
hated subject till I had his classes, because these molecules and structures
were out of my imaginations. He delivered interesting classes and his frequent
pokes in the midst of class, all had a grandpa’s touch. For him every atom or
molecule he taught have life, and so came those bonds. He used to share some
pieces of stories from epics, when the class seems sleepy, thus making us sharp
throughout. I am really missing those lively classes. Being a medical aspirant then,
I had a lot of queries and confusions about cracking entrance exams and all
were cleared by this old teacher. He can only call my name in such a sweeter
way with the very warmth like a grandpa. I am really a proud student to have a
great teacher like him.
One of the best pearl acquired from his class, is the
description of an ideal student. We all have known it; anyways just have an eye
on it.

Being born and brought up in the land of Adishankara, with
the essence of guru-shishya lineage in blood, lets hail our culture and
tradition and thus to remove the veil of darkness. Lets the light of knowledge
be brighter.
