The first teachers day

I have been a student all my life, still am. But this time something’s changed, something I thought I never do, have I done. Something that I never thought I could become or had it in me to become, have I become. It’s all too weird and comes all too easy, as if I have found something that has lifted this weight off my shoulders, as if this something has given way in me and a realization has struck like a lightening bolt from great Zeus himself. I am dragging my ass aren’t I?

Well, my life has take a very steep turn, and I have every right to drag it this long, I have become a teacher, a person who imparts education to a mass audience, something I never thought of doing, never thought of becoming, and in a very weird manner it feels like home, I am teaching in a suburban college, the same subjects that I was thought.

The reality is, reality and gravity struck me pretty late. When?

Well, 5 September, 2006. Teacher’s day. I wasn’t expecting anything out of the students, right fully so, dint get anything, but the college had different plans, it had newly got a students council and they decided to give us (teachers, realization started striking at this point) a first ever teachers day celebration thingie, first ever in the 14 year history of the college(college is actually older, but most the professors I know are teaching since that long, so an assumption I made on their behalf).

I was totally unawares. I was taking lectures, teaching as usual, until my colleague came and told me give an off to the whole class, upon asking he smirked and said teachers day celebrations, so I did, he also mentioned every faculty in the college would be there. I went along.

Boy! When I entered the meeting area, the badminton court, I was in for a surprise; actually in reality all the faculties were there, including the principal. And this was the point when a thought struck me, almost 70% of the people had thought me at some point or the other in my 7 year history with the college, and now as a member of that clan This article is a salute to all the teachers, professors and faculty and academic members of the teaching institutions around the world.

All said and done, it still feels like I am student, still learning something new every day.

Have a nice one.

Nice Legs I Say

Sitting and talking to a best friend over a table of grilled beef chilly sandwich and bacon burger, and a mug of daft beer, it’s hard to concentrate to what & where exactly the conversation is going. Why? Well thats because of a pair of amazing legs, who walked in 15 minutes a go and is sitting right across you showing her legs off.

It’s like the biggest tease ever. These long calf-length boots, knee short black skirt. What does all this mean and lead to, nothing but anything your imagination can conjure up, say a Goth chick with the same boots and skirt with black make-up, black-lipstick, black-mascara and black nail polish, its like the perfect black rose, at the least in your eyes of imagination.

Don’t get me wrong I am not voyeur although the prospects seem very lively and amazing and imagination does numbers on me, but at the end I have to go home to my lovely lady. The photograph is credits of my best friend. See what I mean ;) .
