My Favourite Students

                          

During the long span of teaching, I have taught hundreds of students. Still, when I have to count for my sweet memories, some students, I really miss and would like to see them again in my life. I want to see If the students who were so good by nature, their character, their maturity, their devotion, attachment have really done well in their life also.

The foremost to count is A C, with curly hair cut short - and soft-spoken girl. She was secretary of students' council. Speaking loudly or harshly to anyone was out of question, totally duty-bound fun making girl. The most memorable event is trip to Simla and Kufri.

Then come the R and R duo. R with her sharp nose, long braid and sweet smile, was her father’s daughter extremely protected nice girl. R was her best mate with curly hair cut short with good voice, ready to sing on slight provocation. She would always carry a diary in her bag with the hit songs written in it, to be used anytime. The most memorable is the night, we all were awake gossiping in a gurudwara at Dehradun, while all other students and teachers were sleeping.

P K was a soft and sober girl with bold writing, always stood second in class. Much was expected from her in this field but after 12th class came to know that she was under influence of some evil spirit and was physically not keeping well. She didn’t join the college and was married after some time.

PC, a fat, bold, self-confident girl with curly hair enclosing a logical mind underneath, was the president of students' council. She was the best speaker. What a self-determined student can do, was proved by her. She is rightly placed in career (media). The most memorable trip to Kempty falls.

M was a simple girl with wheatish complexion. She left the first impression of a negative personality. But till date, I can rarely count any other girl so affectionate, and duty bound. She was one of the best monitors of my classes till date.

Dk was fat, fair, calm and affectionate girl, she was made class monitor. She performed the duties very honestly for almost two years, when just before the preparatory holidays I relieved her of her duties, so that she can concentrate more on studies.

AR was a charming, fair and decent girl with sharp nose. She was very diplomatic, calm and composed girl. She knew how to adjust the tone of her voice while handling different issues. She was intelligent and president of the students' council.

SC was a very intelligent, soft spoken, mature and diplomatic girl. She was handed over the duties of secretary of students' council. She always stood first or second in the class. She proved her maturity and intelligence on three very important occasions, she is worthy of praise beyond limit.

NC was a beautiful, charming, intelligent, tall girl with long braid. She was a player and a model. She was so calm, decent and down to earth that on even being made Miss India North-West, she didn’t lose her composure. She was extremely respectful towards everyone.
J and P sisters, in different batches, were again very affectionate, intelligent, and responsible girls. P was a national player and knew how to keep a balance between curricular and co-curricular activities.

D a sweet, beautiful, a national champion in Ball badminton, also stood first in class, unforgettable.

S a tall, intelligent, monitor of my class always stood first in class.
PG was an intelligent, sweet, humble and duty-bound girl. She hardly refused anyone for any work. The most interesting thing about her, if she would be sent for some work, she would return after almost half the period was over. Because she would be caught by some another teacher for her work, and PG had to do that work also, still she never lagged behind in her studies and stood first in her class.

S was short, intelligent, sober, dark complexioned, girl with spectacles on her face and long braid on her back. She also stood first in her class, she was a great artist, her sketching was too good.

B like S was also a sober, short, intelligent, girl with smile on her face. She was calm but had good relations with all her classmates alike. She always stood second in her class.

I, N and V were the students of the same class. The first impression given by I, I would keep him set in the class, as he seemed to be over smart. But he proved to be the best boy of the class. Cooperative, duty bound, all-rounder, affectionate, well mannered, you name the qualities, and he had. N possessed all the qualities of a good leader, polite, fun loving, patience, diplomacy, she had these all. She had always maintained the balance between extra activities and studies. V was really a genius. Though kept himself away from extracurricular activities, but very decent and intelligent boy.

GT and AB were also very good boys. GT had all the leadership qualities where AB had a unique, intelligent, fun loving, balanced personality.

V, M, R, A, M, R, a group of decent and loyal six. First four proved their worth. VMRAM were exactly same, but R was a little different. They carried the torch of the class on, by marking their presence daily. The intelligence and presentation of paper by VMRA were too good. All of them remained calm and composed without affected by any disturbances of outside world.

Here comes my next batch. LB, SK, LP proved to be shining more than anyone else. We, teachers used to discuss the main reason of entering the class because of three students and they have proved it. LB appeared to be naughty to some, proved his hold on everything and specially the role of determination and self-confidence in the success. He was a good diplomat maintaining balance with all under all circumstances. Every piece of knowledge was stored in his mind like a computer memory. The SK always behaved like taking all the knowledge from teachers as though its not possible to do that again. He can be compared to question generating software. LP, a calm, shy and intelligent boy proved to be strong enough in the odds of life with his intelligence and performance, and shine like anything, without making any sound.

These are the jewels in my career, though I can count a large number of students for sweet memories.

Note: If any one of the above-mentioned students ever come to read this and is able to recognize, I would love his/her photo to be posted here. 

After this article was written (many years ago), I didn't write like this. My favorite students found a permanent place at commerceatease.com to advise other students.
