Unwavering Role-Players


 

Journey from Guru to Madam, Miss & Sir

Vedic Educator to a Computer Wizard

Yes, we have upgraded to teach this & that

Teaching from slate to stylus

Experimenting from Annual Board exams

To Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation

Teachers have nailed in all the tests

Front liners are we not in the pandemic times!

Sailed through workshops & seminars to webinars

Kindergarten to high school teachers

Learning the novel so-called skill dubbed online classes

Roles have reformed; we teach in phones & computers

Power point presentations & switching softwares

Gritty to be taught while teaching others

Paper pen test to online viva & assessments

Humanly touch still persists; not in the campus but from our gadgets

Teaching creatively with fruits, vegetables & ingredients

We are blood and flesh; not the robots

Yet connecting with the students day in & day out

All and sundry wait for life to flinch

Schools will resume; we will bob up

Ourselves the candidates & you the examinees

Test us & we will ace!

The Bus Ride

​ Sometimes the smallest encounters leave an imprint that stays for longer than you would expect. A moment becomes a memory, amalgamated from both sweet and bitter experiences. I love the prairie summers, and getting home on the bus is my favorite part of the day. Sometime in July, 2024, I was all set to enjoy my bus ride. As usual, I preferred taking the seat close to the exit door. Holding my phone in my hand, I became engrossed in scrolling and was so lost in it that I didn’t realise what was going on around me. In the blink of an eye, I felt someone had pulled mobile phone from my hand. My instinctive reaction was the same as it had been when I was a child.
