A School Master's wedding

Yesterday i attended the wedding reception of Ashok Raj Sir. I was a surprise to me, it was held in the Quality Inn Sabari convention centre in Thirumalai road, T Nagar . He had arranged for 2 floors, one for the reception and one for the buffet dinner.

By all standards it surpassed the standards of hospitality i had come accross in the past few occasions i have been to weddings.

He had invited the entire batches of students since 1996, it was such an young crowd out there, that it felt entirely different.I was the odd one out from my batch to attend the wedding.

Overall the student-teacher relationship seems to have changed for the worse, i feel the students no longer respect the the teachers in words. This was blatant.

The high point was that i could meet a couple of my old teachers and speak to them, ofcourse i did get to meet my princi-'pal'

It was a feeling of returning to the childhood again- back to the furture kind which you keep raving about for a few days.

The comment of not having respect for Teachers is sad. We need to bring respect and glory for the teaching profession. Our children should be taught to respect teachers and elders.

Partly the reason is due to pathetic salaries the teachers get. Due to this the best in any field do not take to teaching and what we get are mediocre teachers for whom the students do not have respect.
