WHO IS A TEACHER?
Teacher is like a lamp,
Who lights the lamp of knowledge.
Teacher is like a flower,
Spreading the fragrance of education.
Teacher is like a captain,
Who shows a direction to our life's progress.
Teacher is like a God,
Who gives us new life and new mission.
Teacher is a great soul,
As she can play many different roles.

The Unique Teacher
She's a teacher everyone wants,
Unlike others who taunt.
She supports like no other,
And is definitely my second mother.
She has the prettiest smile,
Which can be there for a mile.
I love the way she cares,
And is dressed with flair.
She is one of a kind,
And someone who is hard to find.
She puts a smile on my face,
And is truly an ace.
Understanding, flattering,
Loving, caring,
Supporting, encouraging,
Basically, someone I would end up writing a book on.
My forever inspiration,
And god's best creation.
Through all ups and downs,
Her smile is what sets my mood.
A person who makes everyone happy,
Deserves to be the happiest.
I feel blessed to have her with me,
To advice, care, love and scold.
Even after years I would never forget,
She being the most adorable person I have ever met.
Every teacher is like a knowledge lamp,
But it takes someone special to be like you Himani ma'am!

A TEACHER FOREVER
The Late Dr Abul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam is a gift to mankind and the people's president. He will be remembered for generations to come as India's most cherished rocket scientist, statesman, scholar and author. But there's one role that Dr Kalam is synonymous with and that is the role of an educationist.
The more powerful he became, the simpler he grew. Even though he is no longer with us, the idea of Dr Kalam will continue to burn bright in our hearts and minds. Kalam always looked for ways to retain our true wealth. He believed that only the youth of India could bring about a real change in the nation.
Without our teachers, we will never be able to boast of a good growth as a country. He went to great lengths for the further cause of education in India. Empathy was a central idea in Dr Kalam's work and life. A great mind, a great scientist, a great professor and a true Indian, the country's most celebrated aerospace and defence scientist and a teacher forever left for his heavenly abode in Shillong while giving a speech to students.
I salute this towering personality, who was a teacher at heart. May his soul rest in peace!
