The Superheroes

I know I am late and I apologize. Exams just don’t seem to end. So this week I will post 2 entries.I had the honor of presenting a speech written by me on this occasion. So this is that speech with some extra jokes:

“A teacher is a doctor who heals ignorance and an artist who inspires creativity.” This holds true for all our lovely teachers.On this special occasion of Teacher’s day, I would be giving an introductory speech on the most important people in our lives – our teachers.

When I was asked to write this speech, I started thinking of ways in which I could make this speech unique, interesting and memorable. We all know that Teacher’s day is celebrated in remembrance of the remarkable teacher Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. We all know that this day is his birthday. But we forget that it is also a day to celebrate Gods and Goddesses called teachers. That is what I am going to talk about today. This speech is an explosion of my lava-like-views about our beautiful teachers. It is a beautiful fabric of threads called ideas.

Teachers are parents not bound by blood; they are storytellers of stories called subjects. Their knowledge is like a vast ocean. Their knowledge is like never-ending saas bahu* shows which go on forever. Teachers are our very own Spiderman, Batgirl, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Shaktimaan, Shakti, Harry Potter, Super Girl, Percy Jackson and Katniss Everdeen(sometimes they might look like those too). They are rockstars,superstars,dancers and the leading members of the “future” council of the country. They are Mitsee to us Shinchans,they are Doraemon to us Nobitas.

Sometimes I feel that we are like untamed, wild animals and teachers are civilized humans who tame us. They mould clay-like students into sculptures; they cook raw-vegetable-like students to make perfectly cooked sabji. They turn spare parts into complete machines. They are the directors of a movie called- A Student’s life.

We make their lives tough by all our masti**. We behave like purple minions from “Despicable Me 2”, we trouble them, we make their lives miserable, and we are the reason for their stress. This teacher’s day, I just request you all to give our teachers the respect they deserve. Their stories, confusing questions, immense knowledge, surprises, calculations, jokes, crystal clear explanation, and inspiring speeches aren’t easy. Not everyone gets such cool, awesome, fantastic, lovely mentors.

So friends let us do our little bit for them...nothing big and unachievable just small deeds like listening to them, being regular with our work, respecting them and above all grooming ourselves to be good individuals whom they can be proud off. Be like your inspiration!  A very happy teacher’s day to all our terrific teachers!
