2minutes speech on TEACHER'S DAY 2020

Dr. Radhakrishnan

 The mere fact that we are all connected 
in this event makes me feel so elated and motivated to express my thoughts on this unconventional yet eventful day today. Good Morning and a very happy Teacher's Day to all.

                          A teacher is someone who teaches, and mind you, it is not just academics. Not everyone can be a teacher, because despite everything what a teacher teaches first is the way of life.
              Though teachers day is globally celebrated on 5th October, in India we celebrate it on 5th of September, to commemorate the birth anniversary of Dr. S Radhakrishnan, the second president of Republic of india and a profound teacher himself. He believed that "children are the future of the nation and it is only in the teachers hands that could shape it".
                                    It is well said that "Adversity shows one's potential".
These crucial times had their unique problems. We had to change our methods, increase our technical know-how. But challenges came, and we conquered it. And the result is here, we students and teachers being so connected even when being apart. It is all because of the hardwork, dedication and flexibility of our teachers for this drastically changing world. And think how lucky we students are to have such teachers around us, providing everything they can to you.


             Dear students, we must understand the importance of our teachers and praise them, not only today but whenever we look up to them. Seeking your blessings dear teachers, not only on behalf of myself or the students, but for all those whom your presence has made an impact, knowingly or unknowingly. 
Thankyou and a very Happy Teacher's Day again..!!

AN ESSAY - My Most Memorable Railway Journey

  Railways are the nation’s favorite long-distance commuter. It is very affordable and I have been traveling by train from time immemorial. Railways have always felt welcome. My most memorable journey was along a route I travel very often. The Anuppur-Ambikapur route has some really obscure railway stations of Chhattisgarh. I was travelling to my grandparents’ place. What made this journey memorable was its timing. We usually travelled at night. But this time, it was a day run. The journey was simply amazing. The route cuts through hilly areas. With numerous tunnels, bridges and a little brook here and there, the journey was a feast for my eyes. The stations and the people were a completely different story. Ever heard of a junction that doesn’t sell tickets, visit Boridand. Or a station that provides tickets on small yellow hard-paper cards, visit Nagpur Rd. The Chhattisgarhi people are quiet, but you feel the hidden energy in them when you approach a station. The language they s...
