MY teachers- back to memory lane😊

It isn't now, from the time of Veda it is said that 'Acharya Devo Bhava' which basically says a teacher is equalent to GOD. The rank of Guru/ Teacher is right after our parents. Who is a teacher then? if a person teaches you even a single letter, he should be respected like a Teacher.
         Indian history has lots of stories relating to the Teacher-student relationship.(Samartha Ramdas-Shivaji, chanakya-maurya,Ramakrishna paramahamsa- Vivekananda) Even Indian mythology has lot of stories relating to this holy relationship. (Ekalavya-drona, Vishwamitra-Ram&Lakshman,Valmiki-Lav&Kush)
      The present day which we celebrate is because of Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, a great scholar himself. Everyone loved him so much that they wanted to celebrate his birthday. This great man denied and said the same day can be celebrated as teacher's day.
        I have a very special bond with the teachers day. Being in a family which had teachers from last 3 generation I get to see the amount of respect they have earned everywhere. It is truly a proud feeling I tell you. From childhood I understood one thing whatever you do in life the people you would remember the most are the teachers who gave you life lessons, who heard you patiently and also who genuinly cared for you.
        I take this moment to thank each of the precious teachers of my life. My paternal grandfather, teacher himself taught to be punctual, respect people and condemn the wrong even when the another person is more strong than you are(it takes lot of courage). My paternal granny who taught me to enjoy the nature right from my childhood, all the Ramayana Mahabharata stories with morale she would tell me every single night. My maternal grandfather, a great businessman and a very hardworking man taught me value of each penny. My maternal granny who is also a teacher developed me as a writer. She used to teach me English and literature in the short time we visited her. My mom, also a teacher taught me a lot of stuff. The most important one was to control emotions and love your family no matter what. My dad, who taught me to read even when I dint go to school. He used to bring me books when I was 2 and till now he dint stop. He also taught me to stay on my words. All my uncle and aunts, other grand parents from both maternal and paternal side who gives me the live example of 'ham saath saath he'.All my cousins and friends who teach me unconditional love exists.

Friendship day

Whatsup there?...
When a YEAR later I ask this question you should answer right?😂 I know it was about me! I won't say I was occupied or something ,(though I was😅)cause if I had tried I would have wrote. It basically says I am lazy😢.

But once a while even a lazy person writes. Today I am getting so many wishes even from the people I am not in touch with. So how about writing friendship day? The concept of friendship 'day' originated from western countries. Wikipedia gives so many confusing staments from which I am unable to draw a conclusion on who has started this celebration, but one thing is clear that the official declaration of world friendship day is proposed on 30th July 1958 by World Friendship Crusade . In 2011 General Assembly of United Nations officially declared 30th July as World Friendship day. Different countries follow different dates as friendship day. We Indians celebrate on first Sunday of August. People say it's purpose was to recognise true friendship and differentiate it from Valentine's day. People celebrate it by exchanging gifts, greeting cards and ofcourse wishes.

The concept of friendship day arrived to wish a great strength of one's life, *friends*. We keep our friends in different circle. Very few enter in that close circle. And those close circled friends are called best buddies😋(Those are same idiots who will make sure they won't wish you on friendship day. ^en huccha NING wish madakke^{have I gone mad to wish you}kind of people.) They play important role in your life. 40% of you are because of them. I like the quote of Russian revolutionary Communist Vladimir Lenin which says' Show me who your friends are and I will tell you what you are'. Which is basically true because your thinking is partially derived from people you are surrounded with. Choosing your friend is very very very important. It is like making connection in splitsvilla(a reality show where making right connection will help you to win the show), a right one will help you always.

Coming to me, I always had my friends on my side. In my good, happiest, sad or worse days, they were always there. To fill confidence, to criticize, to make me happy,  to help me know my limitations and strengths. Today everyone is busy, the contact is minimal. But when they meet I can feel the same strong bond.(they still tease me in the same manner😂).

Sharing gifts on friendship day is not something I believe in(Are! I can gift them anytime. Why only friendship day?). But liked the idea of one of my high school classmate. She told me that she gifts are not purchased one. She gives the thing which she used before. Like a crafted diary of which only 2 pages are used. Or a pen which is liked by another friend of her. Even her friends do the same.(she told me this long back. I don't know if they still follow it😊)

Friendship day is indeed a great day for those misunderstanding to end, for new starts, for love and for old good memories. It is a day to say each other that they are greatful to have a friend who is always there. It is a day to remember those sweet hearts who always wanted best to us. It is a day where one can pause the busy schedule, remember the days well spent and smile a little. It is a day to pay tribute those selfless beautiful souls. Cause friend is the only one who knows What you exactly are.(Even your mom wouldn't know all your secrets😂)

What more I can say? Happy friendship day😊

P.s- All those who dint wish me! It's OK. Let's celebrate it every day😉 ek din to bahut kam hoga hame😋

With love
Vaishnavi
