LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

I don't say life's full of masti like it was in UG days, but it's full of optimism. It's been long time since I felt so positive about myself. Most of the time I smile about my students who are ignoring me in the corridors because I am no longer their teacher. The present students make me laugh with all their naughty deeds and by their desperate efforts to fall in love with their classmates. The way they think is so filmy!
Now a days, life's so full of "Phonetics" - How many sounds does English language have?, where to stress a word?, make sure that you check the Oxford dictionary for the pronunciation of all the difficult words in the chapter which you are going to teach today. English teacher, make sure of the "Received pronunciation". You shouldn't use Indianized English.
What is it that I asked God before three years? A small house with lots of place to cultivate vegetables, a cow, a violin. Most of it is granted except the cow & the violin. I spend my evenings by reading R.K.Narayan & listening to "Pehli nazar me".
But the best part of the day is in the morning when I face the sun & utter the Navagraha stotram.
I quickly get into the house, apply sunscreen, wave my mother & run for my class. Am I asking the sun god to protect me or the sunsreen to protect me from his rays?
