"In my younger and more vulnerable years my teacthers gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since."
Teacher's Day is always a way of celebrating the contribution of mentors in shaping individuals. Whether it's John Keating from Dead Poets Society, Dumbledore from Harry Potter, Anand from Super 30, or Ram Shankar Nikumbh from Taare Zameen Par, they all capture the spirit of a real teacher.
Since my schooling days, I have always been a part of Teacher's Day celebrations. I am always enthusiastic about being a teacher, planning a lecture, and delivering it. The celebrations were held in the traditional classroom with a blackboard and limited students.
However, from my master's program onwards, the idea of celebrating Teacher's Day changed. As part of it, Department students go through the journey of planning a lecture, preparing teasers, PowerPoint presentations, videos, quizzes, and certificates. In this technological era, it's mandatory to work hand in hand with technical skills, and due to that, we learned to reach more people in the case of academics.
