I think I should talk to her,
probably with the sweetest love
possible. I should show my gratitude
for her love towards me that I
always thought never existed. Yes I
should gracefully make her day not
because she came in my life once
but stayed inside me throughout to
foster learning beyond the shadow
of a doubt thought He amidst the
huge crowd, in an area fully packed
with cars and motor cycles without
a slightest movement. In fact the
most unusual part of his life was
about to unfold when he stepped
out from his vehicle, leaving it
empty in the middle of a jam packed
road, racing across the bouquet
Shop nearby to buy a rose. He
picked up a rose and granted him 100rs note before he asked the reason for
fewer number of roses that existed in a bouquet shop which normally is
packed with lot of roses.
Instead, Can you give me 10rs sir? I have no change with me. Lot of
people visited this shop since morning for the roses. I dont know for what
joy said the shopkeeper.
An exquisite medley of emotions surrounded his face. He picked up 3 more
roses before he decided to leave the shop at once leaving his money at the
shopkeeper. He darted across the road as quickly as possible and found
himself sitting at the driver seat in the same jam packed road, within no
time.

[Earlier in the day]
Can you give me 10rs daddy? My teacher before she could continue,
her dad interrupted.
The word Can is used to refer to ones ability. Could you please grant me
10rs is the correct usage sanvi. Got it?
My teacher has taught me this. I used it intentionally. If you deny I will ask
your wife possibly with the word could, like you mentioned retorted his 12
year old daughter.
Finish your homework first. I think I dont have any 10rs note left in my
pocket said He, too reluctant to check his pocket.
You can check your pocket once daddy. I badly need 10rs. My teacher
I said I dont have. Why dont you understand? You have been asking money
for every small thing since a month or two. Stop spending money lavishly.
Get your mathematics book.
This aint a small thing daddy. My Teacher and before she could continue,
her dad screamed- TeacherTeacher...TeacherJust get me the
Mathematics book and she darted across the room in fear to get the book.
If your teacher has taught you the basics of division so well, probably you
should solve this said He.
My teacher has always taught me good. If I couldnt do it, I am responsible
for it. Not my Teacher. You dont take her name always daddy
Why is anything to the power zero is one? Like 2^0 (2 to the power zero) is
1, 3^0 is 1 and so on? Asked the dad.
She thought for a while and said she doesnt know.
I dont understand what your teacher has taught you; a question as simple
as this cannot be answered by a 7 th standard student. I am shocked and
ashamed of you and your teacher retorted her dad.
If my teacher had asked this question, probably I would have answered. She
knows how to intrigue us to get the best out of us. She always tests us and
challenge us in a way that motivates us to think beyond our capacity and
arrive at the answer. She is very patient till then, unlike you, who always
taunts at my abilities and expect quick replies. Even you know the answer to
this question because of your teacher but you never want to remember it. I
hate you daddy. I dont want to solve this very question anymore. Give me
10rs please. I need it so badly. Its almost 9 in the morning and my teacher
before she could continue, her dad got up in anger, threw the textbook
out of the sight and left the place before he jumped into his car and went for
a drive to calm his emotions
*************************************************************************************
He calls his friend within no time and gets the address of his 7 th standard
mathematics teacher. He drives the car towards the teachers home only to
see a medium sized lock hanging at the front door. He takes out a piece of
paper from his pocket, pens down the following lines before he sticks a rose
on the paper, glues it to the lock found at the front door and disappears at
once.
My dear teacher. I turned 42 recently and my daughter, 12. I reminisced the
moments of yore when my daughter asked - Can you give me 10rs daddy? My
teacher comes at 10 and I want to be the first person to wish her with a rose on this
very occasion of teachers day. 30 years back, I could see myself doing it and my
father helped me accomplish it. And today I am helping my daughter accomplish it.
Also, I remember, an instance which happened 30 years ago where you truly made
me realize my potential for the first time when you asked a question in math and
provoked me to think beyond my ability.
2/2 is 1 and so does 2^1/2^1. Hence, 2^(1-1) becomes 2^0 =1. I always
cherish this moment because you helped me arrive at this very answer. Thank you
so much teacher. Happy teachers day.
Yours always sincere
student
