My teachers...In the posting of Mr. Ekambaram...my memory.....

• • Ekambaram Dakshina]...Very interesting to read your happy childhood and the association with teachers from the beginning. I also recollect some of the teachers who taught me Mathematics or say Arithmetic ,, English, Grammar, Sanskrit, Hindi,History, Geography,Civics, etc..etc and certify qnd reiterate that the basic subjects taught by such greatmen provided foundation for our studies further. I also remember my Scout and ACC masters who took us for training and camp to outstation places and made me learn a lot of things... It would be my uttering a truth if I say I used to avoid some teachers within school premises who had threatened me of punishing for not being punctual and uptodate with lessons. I also remember some teachers having beaten me with a cane or stick for not answering some questions in the classroom. Ofcourse that made me cautious and allowed me to study and do honmework regulalry.. I also remember some teachers who encouraged me in studies from time to time, praised me and gave me sufficient strength and enthusiasm to study further. I started my 1st class in Trichur. Kerala...shall mention names of some teachers...Janaki Teacher, Visalam Teacher, Malathi Tetacher, Subbarama Iyer, Karunakaran, P arameswara Iyr, Rama Iyer,,Unni Menon,Sanskrit mastr,,etc.. Of course we had no girls in the class and hence liked the women teachers. who were good......It was upto the year 1960 when I was in 7th Standard ,,thereafter I studied in Bangalore ...some teachers...Syama Bhat, KV Srinivasamurthy, SR Srinivasan,K Srinivasamurthy, etc..etc no women tachers and girl students..... I recollect we had 100 students in standard 8 in Seshadripuram High School, Bangalore and for taking attenadance daily we were called by our numbers 1001 to 1102...mine was at the end being name of initial letter V. I I may mention while studying in school I used to have a desire that I should become a teacher like some of my teachers, become a master of the subject, be strict with the students, teach them well and earn a name,etc,,. But the desire didnot materialise. I may say I would have been classmates of more than 500 srudents...in school level...but have hardly net any of them after I left them from school. It is also true I havenot met any of the techers after leaving the school...May be same is not true with all. We desire to be loved by teachers and respect them..but donot et opportunity to reciprocate...I have many anectodes or episodes or incidents or achievements to reollect and mention but may not be proper if I do it her...But it is good you retraced your memory and brought back some memories and instil in us a desire to think about our techers also,. Perhaps the teachers who should have taught thousnads of pupils may not rememeebr each one of us althought they brought life to all of us be giving us education. Thank youl· i
