HAPPY TEACHER,s DAY:

Please read this interesting information: ( I got the story from a friend )

1994

INDIAN President Shri Shankar Dayal Sharma visited Muscat on official trip - when AI flight landed  three rare incidents happened 

1. Oman King never visits airport to receive dignitaries of any country - never . But the Oman king came to airport to receive the President!!

2. When the flight landed the Oman King climbed up the steps and received the President from his seat .

3 . After alighting the flight there was a Chauffeur driven car waiting for the President. But the King signed off the driver to move and he himself drove the car with  President to his suite.

Later when reporters questioned the King why he broke so many protocols?

The King replied “I did not go to the airport to receive Mr. Shankar Dayal Sharma because he was the President of India. I studied in India and learnt many things.  When I was studying in PUNE , Mr. Sharma was my Professor - that is why I did this“ !

_*That is the power of being a teacher_

🙏🙏

Happy Teacher's Day wishes and salutations to the rare community of Teachers who have made a difference in our lives!!!

A TEACHER IN KADUNA, Nigeria; ( The story was all over in Nigeria during those days)

There is another story of almost similar theme; in 1980s, there were ample and better opportunities of teaching jobs in Nigeria. There was an exodus of teachers from Ethiopia to Nigeria. During that period a teacher came from Asmara to Kaduna looking for a teaching job. Unfortunately either because of his subject of teaching or he was late in finding/applying the jobs , he could not get one. Frustrated and disappointed , he was walking on the sidewalks of Kaduna main road , preparing to return back to Ethiopia. He heard the sound of the sirens and was trying to be on the side of the road. This kind of siren and patrol of police etc. is normally follow when some VIP is passing through.

All of a sudden a VIP car started approaching Mr.Chacko ( given name to the teacher from Ethiopia). He was frightened as something is wrong with him or as he has committed some crime. The VIP gentleman approached him and asked him if he is Mr Chacko, got further more fearful, and humbly told , recognizing him as some VIP, " yes Sir ". The VIP gave him a loud military salute. with some formal conversation, he took him in his own car, brought him to his office , cancelling the day,s engagement for which he was going. He was military Governor of Kaduna ( during military rule in Nigeria, state governors are military officers , and they are like Chief Ministers of the State). He then told very respectfully , that he was his student in Military Academy, Asmara in Ethiopia , a few years back. Mr. Chacko could not recognize him in his military outfit and as VIP but his student. The governor arranged him a job of his choice and the government guest house to stay as long as he wishes to be there.

1. Very normal for Nigerian students, they have very high regards for their teachers and they feel ever obliged;

2. DESTINY- a frustrated and disappointed person , ready to go back ,  got what he would have not got even with his best efforts;

3. Teachers are respected by their students all over the world; I pay my due regards to them.
