Some of my favourite teachers, and most of them would have joined the list when they were no longer teaching me, coz its only in the end that I realized that they meant some real, sincere good for me.
Mrs Beddoe, for the pronunciations I know
Mrs Dias, for making me believe that I had a l’ll more brain than the rest ;) ..at that time I did believe it!!
Mrs James, for making me fall in love with Maths
Mrs Rudola, for setting me right..that’s helped me this far!
Mrs Wadhwa, I think I have been thanking her for every day of my working life for the last one year, whatever little accounting I know.. ONLY because of her!
Ms Gupta, I realize that she did help me write better and I finally do know the difference between its and it’s.
TS. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. Any presentation that I have made in life, I have thought of her either before, during or after it. She gave me the confidence.
Prof RM Singh, no one taught Eco like he did
DG, for giving me the strongest Intl Fin fundas
PRS for not teaching marketing, rather magically injecting it into my system. I can discuss the BCG matrix even in my sleep.. with examples
Prof Natarajan, however cruel he may have seemed then, IDCM eventually did make a lot of sense.
Prof Avinash Paranjpe, for making a 9 o’clock morning class on financial markets the most awaited thing
Prof Kidiyoor, for being the cool, practical, logical and sensible Prof around.
Prof Ajith Kumar, he’s my favourite at TAPMI for his sincerity and the way he respects his students as intelligent adults… and no doubt he’s great at his subjects.
All the above names are of teachers who I came across at one of the three educational institutions I have been a part of, CJM, CBS and TAPMI, but apart from these too I have come across some great teachers and here goes the list
This list has to be topped by my Mom and Grandmom, and I guess I can run out of space if I start listing down what all they taught me.. so no questions asked, the two ladies win it! My Dad for teaching me to be super confident all the time, as in ALL THE TIME. My bros for the attitude i have ;)
And some more people who have knowingly or unknowingly taught me quite a bit - Arti Tahiliani, Ruchika Saraf, Nilesh Gauda and Madhur Sinha.
Finally a big Happy Teachers’ Day to everybody. One day we celebrate, which wasn’t really the brainchild of someone sitting in an Archies Sales office!!
