It was my 8th std. I shifted from chennai to my native which is a small cute village in my sweet state andhra pradesh.We ought to shift due to dads business. Villages are very calm & peaceful place. And i had to study in that place for 2years. I was tensed coz life from a city is totally different from a village. There will be drastic difference from dressing up, body language etc etc…

Though i love villages i was tensed to study there.And mom was telling that i ought to learn my mother tongue as it is a part of my academics. From my childhood i had a great interest to read & write my mother tongue but wasn’t able to read. And finally there came a day where i got to learn my lang. I got admission in a school & dad introduced me to a sir from whom i had to learn Telugu.He was very old person & that too he was a Brahman. Am very scared of Brahman people from my childhood. At the start i was so tensed to speak with him coz people wer telling he z damn strict & a short tempered person.

He thought me Telugu in such a way that in my first exam i scored 84%…!What a perfect teacher he is!! Slowly he became very friendly with me & amazing was he never use to get morose on me though i’ve committed a mistake unknowingly or knowingly & he use to give all tips in scoring more marks in Telugu.He is such a perfect teacher.

I became his cool & favorite student.And three years passed n i again shifted to chennai.When ever i go to my village i never forget to visit him & he used to feel so happy when i tell all my achievements in my academics & extra activites..!& he always blesses me that my dreams come true always..! but one day i got a call that he expired!!The very sec without my knowledge tears wer running down my cheeks….I really miss my teacher & at times look back to the days spent with him..!And am sure i will not be getting such a cool, good sweet & high knowledgeable teacher in my life………….!I Even now i often remember when i read telugu..!Miss you sir..!
