    This was my first ‘Diary-Account’ as soon as I joined duty as a teacher in a Residential School on the 22nd of April, 2006!This International School's..a 'Grandiose Off-Spring' of a reputed Educational Trust, that rules the roost in the realm of educational affairs...-Even, now whenever I feel like resuscitating myself..I simply read these lines..and Lo! I feel that ALL IZZ WELL'!!!!


    *Life has never been so exciting and

    fresh as if I were being seated inside an ice-cream

    bowl of all my favourite flavours put together:


    *Every single kiddo I cross seems to be telling a story to me;

    Oh! My God..jus’ look at their roly-poly eyes and the

    chubby cheeks-all waiting to unfurl something;

    *Could it be the story of their bosom

    buddy?

    Could it be something that might be haunting that tiny

    heart, with some fear?

    Or, could it be an event that happened, back home?

    I jus’ can’t wait to know!!!!

    (dears!! the above photo is that of our very own malar's son)


    *I’m sure theirs would be miles

    away, from our usual ‘adult-talk’- filled with gossips,

    jealous insinuations, anxious pour-outs, never-ending

    repartees!

    There certainly would be a halo of love, of laughter,

    of harmless banter;

    *Innocence would be riding high the waves of the ‘Kiddo isle’;

    Yes! My ‘Kiddo Isle’ only consists of:-

    Angelic Mini-Divas,

    Buttery Bliss,

    Creamy Cherubs,

    Dainty Daisies,

    Euphoric Enigmas,

    Flawless Faith,

    Glowing Ganges,

    Heights of Happiness,

    Idyllic Ideals,

    Joyful Jamborees.. et al..


    Just get to meet them once-

    You too could be drowned inside them..like me!!!!

    But, let me tell you..this is a drowning that you would never like to come out.
    -Saras.

    Will be happy for you if you end up being one again!!!

    Dearest Saras!!

    I feel proud and happy to just know a person like you (though it is only virtually), a teacher who adores her children, loves them and cherishes them with all her heart and soul!!

    Your pure happiness and joy in being with the children shines through your words!! they certainly are blessed to have you and you to have them :)

    Have a lovely day with the little angles!!

    Love
    Akila

    Dear Akila,

    Am not anything great..nor am I doing anything great-just the fact that anyone who loves kiddos would surely have felt the same-in fact would have felt doubly more than I:)

    Yes!'tis pure fun & joy being amidst them..all the same there have been situations when I had felt 'Oh! My God why did I ever become a teacher..et al-due to certain circumstances-during those times it's these verses and the love of my children which keep me ticking!:thumbsup
    {In fact, Akila my heart really goes out to the dearest ones who are kind of tagged as 'slow-learners' and the like;-it's more for them that I would want to be with....and take Special Care of them}

    Thanks for making my day brighter with your comments:)
    Saras

    Dear Saras,
    I have seen many teachers in my life. From the loving Florence Ma'am who was my fourth standard teacher, the strict, Mr.Eddy who taught me History and Geography in my 9th Standard and who was very partial to me, and Mr. Graharajan who taught me Accounts in my PUC. Added to that I have been a teacher myself.
    But never have I seen a teacher who is so full of love and soft feelings for her kids. Looks like you love your students more than their own mothers. I salute that love in you, Saras. I only wish, hope, long and pray to my God that we have more teachers like you.
    love,
    sridhar

    Dear Sir,

    Happy to have taken you on a trip down your 'memory-lane'-added to which your recollections of those lovely moments of being a teacher yourself!!!

    It might appear as if I'm such a loving teacher or so,but the reality is whoever shares space with such caring and affectionate kiddos in a residential set-up ought to become naturally attached to them and I'm no exception!!

    Thanks for stepping in dear sir,for the kind words,the prayers and wishes!
    Saras
