Guys don’t go beyond with my title, it was my first meeting with my English teacher, Mrs. Nirmala. She was always short-tempered, but lovely all the time.
In 1988, when I was in 6th standard, due to some unavoidable conditions, I got transferred from Peddapally (now in Telangana) to my village in Andhra Pradesh.
As my father took long time to take the decision to change my schooling, it happened me to join the school very late.
So, I just joined before the day of Independence Day celebrations at my school. Undoubtedly due to my accent and language, I have been treated either specially or humiliated for a while.
Still, I was encouraged to participate in all the events, so I was eager to be a part of the day celebrations with curiosity and enthusiasm.
After adjusted with my accent and communication skills, I slowly focused on my studies; one day nominated as a class leader due to my “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)” with my present understanding and medical revelations nowadays.
During my leadership tenure, one day, I made a list of naughty students and complained to my class teacher, Mrs. Nirmala, without much thinking, she came and started beating the students. ?Once her rage was calm, she realized her mistake and started crying over her anger.
Silence!!! Till today, I could feel the silence of the classroom to feel her around me!!!
Since the day, I admired and worshipped her innocence and kindness, placed a permanent place in my heart and my thoughts….

I was bit average in studies, and I never bothered much about my studies, means, none of us have any such goals in life.
No idea, at any moment of our life, our studies will end up with our weddings!!!
But, one day her words changed my life forever that “Why can’t you be the first in class”???
Yes, why can’t I???, I realized my natural capabilities to make everything possible…...
Sometimes, very simple words make us so much demonstrative and energetic; turns our lives forever.
Indeed, we need to recognise those persons and evoke their simple words to reach the heights of the life….
Whenever she comes to my thoughts, her smile and simplicity always make me normal and humble, Obviously, she was my first crush….
I always thank my destiny, which blessed me to have such simple and adorable people in my journey.
Guys!!! Do you have such crushes in your life; close your eyes and smile forever…….

5 个月School is a different place in all our memories. Teachers just don't teach, they are prime influencers Wish lot many teachers and lecturers at college level too understand this fact. I had my first crush and it was iny 8th Standard. It was Girls High school and my Social Science teacher was my big time crush. Mrs. KC Bramaramba, beloved KCB. My love to history started from her. My line of academics and profession is different today, but when I explore places I prefer monuments, architecture, historical and places of heritage. I don't see it as tourist, I see it as historian. That's her influence.
