Hide and Seek…….
Do u remember when we all
were very young we used to play game called hide and seek with all our friends
,that was the most favorite game of mine because I use hide and my friend used to have tough time in finding me and I was always happy as I was rarely caught by my
friends . As I entered school I started playing hide and seek with my
some older friends well they were never my friends but still ..
I entered school and the
teachers who use to tech me ,most of them knew my parents and that was tough
time for me as I never liked any body to have eye on me, that to because of my parents , same thing happened in
collage though high school was safer, as we were new but as I entered collage
my parents have become old in the town, and some how when u live in small town
everyone knows everyone! and collage was the toughest time for me , I was
average grader ,I was not that good with my marks , it was hard for my teachers
to notice mi because of my marks I was not poor but not gre8 I was good average student
,though most of the students knew mi because of may talkative nature but
teachers did not knew me of except my roll number , I always use to play hide
and seek with them J
I
use to come late for collage ,” I loved bunking classes , I never completed my
assignments on time , I use to sit on last bench in the girls row” in all I was
bad student in every teachers eye but I was happy in my world and I was not
ready to give up my world anyhow , I used to love walking around collage with my
friends I had a very low profile in my teachers eye . In every collage, school
every teacher have their favorite bunch of students I was never their, I never
fit in that group of favorite students and the “game of hide and seek” was on
till I entered the last year of collage
Their was an old teacher with
great command on her subject it was hard to bunk her classes or practical she
too had her favorite bunch of students , and I was still playing hide and seek
with her , but as my father says “ Bhagwan Ram ka janam Ravan ko khatam karne
ke liye hi huwa tha , har chiz ka ant karne ke liye koi na koi jarur ata hai “
and she was their with her full force to end my long game of “hide and seek “ ,
in my fathers eye it was my time , I don’t know how and why one day she shouted
my name in the class ,I was shocked because she use to call me by my roll
number and today she was calling me by name I shook my head in disbelieve and
stood up , and she said why u have not submitted ur assignment copy yet ? as
students whenever any teacher gives any kind of assignment we students have
habit of asking last date we never care about the topic of assignment it was
always that last date which is more important J, and I replied mam last date to kal hai na and whole
class laughed at me , I shamelessly answered that question , then she said never mind tomorrow sharp
11 am copy on my desk , I reached home that day and ask my parents if they know her
I was so angry on them, I thought they knew her but they very clearly said they
do not know her , I closed the topic .
As
I never wanted to have conversation with her I reached collage before her and
placed my copy on her table and ran , after that day it was hard suddenly my
old days was gone, she knew mi very well , she started shouting at me because
of my marks and my assignments , she even gave my name for some collage
competition without telling mi ,my friends start teasing mi “are tu to ma'am ki
favorite ban gae” it was new to me and suddenly I started performing good in
all subjects , my marks improved , I become good grader in short span of two to
three months , may be because of her , I
never liked when she use to shout on me in front of all class, to stop that
shouting I started improving my grades , and in the game of hide and seek I was
on losing side , I never lost a game
with any teacher but in this case I was lucky loser , and as I always wanted to
finish things by my own , I decide to meet ma'am , on last day of collage I
visited her I knocked on the door she said come in …..
After 5 min
of silence I started speaking u know what i rarely I fail to find words but that
day it was different story, and with my full force I started speaking ma'am I
never liked the idea of teachers being over friendly with students, I never
talked with any of them till this day, I don’t know how, why for whatever reason
u noticed mi , and I don’t even want to know , I just want to say thanks for
noticing me, I don’t think I would have improved my grades if u haven't noticed me, for me it was big thing ,thanks for everything and I gave her
chocolate packed in box with thanking note , and she did not said a word till I
reach the door she said so in the game of hide and seek who wins me or u???
“I did not say a word just
gave her smile and left the cabin” finally I ended my hide and seek with my
teachers, and in my heart I know I have lost to her but I call my self a lucky
loser
ps. : dedicated to my most favorite
teacher
Happy teachers day everyone!!!
