Every year, 5th September reminds us that classrooms were never just about chalk and duster. 5th September is not only the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, it's that pause button in our hectic lives when we recall the individuals who built us without demanding anything in return.
Consider this, the mentor who stood with you when your grades let you down, the one who cheered for your tiniest triumph as if it was their own, or the one whose single-line jokes are still fresh in memory.
Teachers' Day still remains intimate because regardless of how old we become, some part of us will always be the student who required someone to believe in them. And most of us found that belief in a teacher.
So this year, instead of sending cold forwards, let’s send wishes and words that carry warmth.
