Dear Child,

You were three and half and your parents brought you to me.

They had trusted me and entrusted me with the responsibility of making you a complete human being. 

I was to be the Guru for you. 

You need to be given the knowledge to scale heights, taught the skills to confidently face life's challenges. 

You need to be disciplined to follow the norms of the society. 

You need to be taught values and ethics to ensure life sustainability and respect all. 

I welcomed you with open arms, tolerated your tantrums and misbehavior, every time hoping that you will one day fit into the acceptable system.

I gave you home work so that you can practice and master the concepts. 

I gave you assignments and tests so that you and me can understand your level of subject knowledge and you can be proudly be elevated to the next level.

When your behavior was not improving, I informed your parents, believing ultimately you are their child. 

You are as important as other children in the class. 

You are more important to me than my own children. 

I spent more time for you, by preparing charts and models such that you and your class mates can understand the concepts well.

I also helped you to participate in competition and other co curricular activities. 

All  this I do because I am your teacher and well wisher.

I am questioned by the management, parents and society if you do not behave well or get 100 percent. 

I am also threatened to be dismissed if I do not help you achieve 100 percent.

Why they did not think though I work for money but is is a noble work that I have been working for so many years. 

Why do you look at me as an enemy.

When you threaten me, throw acid on my face and go to the media saying things against me and  disrespecting me in every possible way, I meekly keep quite doing my duty, hoping that one day good sense will prevail in your mind. 

Why nobody realizes that you are human being with all feelings and emotions inherent.

I have been entrusted to help you but you are always temperamental and stormy.

I leave my family uncaring at times, I swallow all my feelings just for you, for you to climb over me using me as a ladder.

All this because, a teacher remains a teacher.

I just did my duty as a teacher with all the humility unaware that you will hack me from behind!!

Oh My dear child !!!! Why did you Kill me????????

yours faith fully,

R Uma Maheshwari.
