Shukran !!!
Hey guys...The results are out (of course... ... ) and most, if not all of us did well above ourexpectations......So, isnt it time we thank our wonderful teachers who put in more than just 2 years' of hard work in training us for the BOARDS......
The usual school day starts... First period bell rings and our own sweet Engglish teacher Mrs. Sudha Nayar, walks in...Going back... Day 1.... And she said English is not going to be a piece of
cake.... and taking it lightly is certainly not advisable..... But... of course, who would pay heed
to her words.... Class XI A (2005-2006) recieved one of the most disastrous marks in ISM history ever.... Many a week Mrs. Pamela trotted in.... but !! before she came, Mrs. Sudha repeated "Class... (smile) ... please pay attention when HOD comes... and answer my questions... !!" ... Yes, we all pretended hard to listen, but when the questions were asked, (u no wat)... Except of course the english gurus prevailed... Priscy, Varun managed to get awesome marks.... Thx to them for savin our class....Then class XI went on to get over,and on Day 1 of class XII, again we heard the same words "Class,u have to work hard".But,until the month of february,very few people gave much attention to english..But Mrs. Sudha kept up her encouragement rally,to help our class come out with some the BEST marks in english in the boards.She helped "weak" students catch up and here I am,thanking her for everything she has done for our class..I could go on and write a huge book on her,but,alas!im no good in writing skills. Finally i would like to tell Mrs. Sudha that she was our favorite teacher, and class XII A loves u... We'll be in touch....
As Mrs. Sudha leaves,Mr. V.Selvan walks in immediately,because he was waiting outside for the past 3 minutes...Yes.. he's never been late... Sorry sir, as always, Im not sure of the spelling of your first name..hope im forgiven..:-) One of the most knowledgeable teachers...we always waited for his class especially for the facts and trivia he used to recount along with his excellent teaching.. Simple, at the same time detailed and easy enough for any layman to understand the difficult concepts of physics.. Always encouraging us to ask doubts, and answering them with ease, he helped us grasp things very easily...Convincingly one of the best physics teachers around,he had the exceptional ability to control the class without raising his voice by even a few decibels..Sir, we are indebted to you for the education u have imparted to us, and for the wonderful marks we achieved in the boards.and a BIG THANK YOU..
With his usual shake of the head, Mr. V.Selvan(sorry!) departs.N guess who's here !! our own ISM HOD of Computer Science..Mrs. Seema Janesh walks in quickly, bangs the teachers table (coz its way too noisy in here !!!), flashes a smile as if to say,"Im not angry,children.. Just to make u quiet." and starts with the usual C++ business.. Extremely intelligent and able, she would solve any difficult doubts raised by the now deceased "Knowall Clan" (though i know they will be back to their shady business very soon ..) Extremely hard working,Mrs. Seema would devise very easy technique to teach C++.. Giving extra practise,she used to make sure we would be able to attempt new questions on our own, which paid off because the computers board paper was tougher... Her class was always a little noisy, thanx to "U KNOW WHO", but let me assure u miss, we had the same respect for you and liking for your subject as much as for the other teachers and theirs'.. One program later, the class ends....
In comes Mrs. Sita Venkatraman... Easily the most feared and respected teachers(among the students,to be frank....) in the school, she was strict and at the same time friendly. She's a Swiss
Bank Account which is filled with 2 things : Knowledge and Intelligence.. And the code to this account : "Paying Attention in class".. Extremely strict in matters of completing homework,she used to ease up the tension in the class because not many did well in chemistry exams at school.. She never stopped telling us to work harder and harder, and that we would succeed at the boards... which happened... She prepared extremely easy to understand notes for the self-study chapters as well,and even found time to teach them, apart from the vast portion of chemistry.Extremely focussed, she only had one goal in mind: "Make us overcome our chemistry-phoboia(at least i had one)", and all her actions were directed towards that..A thank u is not enough, but i dont have anythin else to give, which would live up to her hard work.. I guess our good performance at boards is a small gift we could give...
Phew ! Finally last period.. And the ever smiling Mr.Sen K.Jose, our class teacher walks in, usually with a maths text book.. otherwise he would borrow one from varun.. A small "maths" is scribbled on top of the chalk board by the most admired personality of ISM (among the students,at least, for sure) The sight of him relieves us of all our tension as we know he is always there to solve any problem we might encounter.. I daresay we did give him a few serious problems.. Sir, we are extremely sorry for that.. I know u deserve much more for everything u have given us, i dont think any of us will be able to give back a thing even a fraction of what u have given us.. With his wonderful teaching skills and experience,he made even the most difficult sums to solve look like pieces of cake..We enjoyed his periods.. his smile brought many more smiles.. it was just like 2nd heaven... Making sure the weaker students also keep up with the rest of the class, he waited and made sure they understood the sum.. Always encouraging us to solve extra sums from R.D. Sharma,he wanted us to do amazingly well at the most dreaded exam:Maths.. Well, most of us did well beyond our expectations, all because of 2 years of hard work put in by him...I check my watch and two minutes to go for the bell..Its funny How fast 2 years can finish off, especially under the guidance of Mr. Sen K.Jose, they went rather smoothly for us..as he took the entire responsibility of our mistakes upon his shoulders, and made sure none of us were touched... Rrrinnggg !! goes the bell, the lights are switched off, and as usual i forget to switch off the fans, an Mr. Sen K. sends me back to do so.. Thats done...
We say thank you, good bye and give a promise that we'll be back in ISM to continue our relationship with our loving teachers... Till then... its a sign off from me.Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!
