Re: Good Teacher or a Good Student
Couple of days back when I just stopped the car on The Mall to get some cold drink. I saw my old college professor walking towards me, approached me & asked politely "Do you know where is Allied Book Depot". We both paused for a second & then he hugged me .... saying "Najim, how are u .... its been a long time since I have seen you."
I was speechless for few moments and told him my last 16 years what did I do where I lived etc etc.
In the end I asked him, How did u remember me for that long & even recognised me after 16 years. He said, "Some students can never be forgotton. Each teacher gets few in his career, you are one of those special ones".
But I am wondering, am I the special one, or is he the special one who remembered me & even recognised me after that long period. He must have taught to thousands of students in colleges, but he remembered me.
He is a special teacher.
Neither of you is special. he just read the nameplate on your shirt.
