GRATITUDE

MOMENTS OF GRATITUDE

          After 34 years of dedicated and selfless service in enlightening numerous student folk she steps down. A motherly teacher to the students, a sisterly colleague to the co-workers, an obedient servant to the authorities and a trustworthy hand to the parents Smt. Chandraprabha is more than a HSA. Her field of activity seldom was confined to the four walls of the classroom, to the blackboard and chalk pieces, to notebooks and examinations. 24 years' successful service at the school is rather a 'luxury' for a government school teacher! But for her it was a reality. A way of life. A token of living.
           Nothing was impossible for her at school, nothing was difficult, nothing was impracticable and nothing was dreary. She was and is still young at heart, energetic always,and ever ready for all that a teacher/ a parent/ a government servant must be ready to !
          The PTA members and colleagues at the school remembered all these and many more from the depth of their memory with full gratitude, love and affection- much more with an acute feeling of loss. Dried throats, Tearful eyes and heavy hearts expressed all hidden emotions.
          But it was inevitable- because the system is like that. She, they, myself and ALL should get down at the 56 from the service. There was/is/will be an overflow of such powerful feelings every year, everywhere.
