Coming from a family of teachers, today is also a day to remember those who walked this path before me—three generations behind, starting with my great grandfather who was an Ezhuthashaan. I am a fourth-generation teacher, not quite by choice, but perhaps by destiny; jokingly, I can say I’m simply carrying forward my kulathozhil. Some legacies are inherited, but the responsibility to make them better is ours. I strive to provide the best quality and most comprehensive free education to everyone; that is my way of giving back for all the good things happening in my life.
Thank you and hugs to everyone who shared such beautiful thoughts in the giveaway contest❤️
The winner is (drumroll) @radhikavishnu9018 (please contact me on +919995875995).
What I loved about Radhika’s post is how beautifully she reminds us that a teacher must first be a human being— empathetic, humane, and always putting the learner first. In the years ahead, AI may take over much of what teachers have traditionally done as knowledge-givers. What it cannot replace is the human connection—the empathy, care, mentorship, and dedication to the art of teaching rather than its science. Perhaps, more than ever, our learners will need teachers who choose to be human before they choose to be teachers.
To every teacher who shaped me—the good ones who showed me the way, and the difficult ones who showed me the way not to go—thank you. May we all strive to be more than knowledge-givers: mentors, supporters, facilitators, and, above all, people who put every learner first. Because teaching is a sacrifice that gives back the greatest gift—the chance to shape a kinder, wiser tomorrow.
HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY Everyone!
