LIGHT OF EDUCATION IS LIGHT OF GOD

 

Dear Sir,

Wishing you a very happy birthday filled with good health and happiness. On this special day of yours, I wanted to extend my gratitude though words won’t be enough to carry it all. Coincidentally, your day coincides with the world book day, a perfect day to celebrate the power of reading and knowledge, both of which you gracefully instilled in me. I still remember how you narrated to us stories of Mother Teresa and Gandhiji, and also your days as Apchi sir. Perhaps it was in those narration, a journey began, one that led me to reading. Your empowerment was the gentle nudge that opened the doors of thought and curiosity. Today, as I sit with a book, I am reminded it all began with your guidance. I still remember how you referred to us as “Little Buddhas”. Your teachings always went far beyond the classroom. Whenever I go back to Chhukha, it reminds me of how profoundly we went around doing cleaning campaign under your coordination, not as a duty, but as a way of life. This simple yet profound act taught me the value of humility, discipline, and the importance of giving back. I am sure you have touched countless lives through this extraordinary commitment. Thank you for being a teacher who led not just with words, but with action. A mentor who planted values which eventually started to bloom. May your birthday be filled with the same light and quiet power that you’ve bought into so many lives.

Yours,

Little buddha
