My Teachers' day celebration

5th September, 2023, teachers ' day . This day is very special for everyone because more or less we all are teacher to somebody or may be we are teacher of our own life because we too teach ourselves in various situations or time through motivation, sometimes even we scold ourselves for the betterment. 

My this year Teachers day is very special and worth remembering. Now I'm going to share my Teachers'day moments,..

The day before the celebration me and my husband were discussing about what to wear or at what time we will be reaching college. Actually this day is very much filled with discipline and punctuality as teachers are the role model or teachers should be the role model of all the good habits and qualities. My husband shaved his beard, apply fashwash and scrubed his face , me on the other hand did the same except shaving. I told him to cut  the nails and he kept this little work for morning. But I knew that morning I shall not be able to manage time. So secretly I cutted my nails . I also wanted to apply mehendi and my husband suggested  not to apply it and I listened to his suggestion.

 We decided to wear light colour dresses and according to the decision I off for salwar suit and my husband selected one of his white kurtas and formal pant. 

In the evening, my mother called me over phone and she asked me what will I wear , I told her that I will be wearing salwar. I know everyone (the femals) will wear sador mekhela and so she said the same  to me. And without any explanation I said ummm let's see tomorrow..

The sun rised and I welcomed a new day .. the day of joy. Waking up early in the morning around 4 o'clock, I cleaned my room, and the kitchen and myself as well. After bathing I went to the temple and later I cooked food. That day I did not bring tiffin since there was a program arranged by the union body of our college so I thought packet lunch will be provided by them. My husband and I firstly wished our former HOD ma'am and later my husband was busy in tuition and meanwhile I phoned my school teacher and offered good wishes.

After finishing all the household chores, I was little confused . Again for the dress issue, what to wear. I think this is a basic problem of all the females out there. .. isn't it? Drop  a comment..

I started to give justification why I have choosen to wear salwar. Fristly the government has allowed salwar suit to all the female teachers. Hence it is not a crime to wear salwar on the occasion of teachers day. As we have protested for this change. Secondly it is a sunny day and since we have to stay for a longer period of time inside the auditorium hole so it is better to wear comfortable dress . 

Thirdly, I wanted to show the change to all the present members that female also has their voice and right to wear dresses according to their own choice. Only sador mekhela should be mandatory for them. Here I'm not saying anything negative about our sador mekhela. I am opposing the imposition of the authority on females.

A teacher should given the same respect when she wears salwar suit also. And finally my husband and I off to college. I brought two of my bags , halmet and was waiting for my husband. He started the bike and suddenly I reminded him about the nails. He looked his nails and mine too. I told him that I have already cutted it and he then ran to the room and brought the nail cutter and cleared his nail cutting task as well. He said it feels nice when we have neat and clean nails. And I agreed.

We both reached college around 10 o'clock and directly came to the department. The students offered good morning and teachers day wishes. We too offered teachers day wishes to our teachers in the department. Earlier we were discussing about the gifts for our teachers and later I told let's see if we get fresh banana then we'll bring it for the teacher. Because I believe instead of sweets fruits are better for our health. But we didn't get it. 

Some students from the commerce came to our department and gave a beautiful gift. Each and every student offered good wishes and they touched my feet. That moment was very new to me or I can say it was a very holy experience. I told them it's okay you need not touched my feet . Your wishes are enough for me. But they didn't listen and gave me all the respect. Later with the students of our department we cutted a cake . I and my husband ate the creamy layer since it includes egg. 

 After the cake cutting ceremony the students gave pen to each and every teachers except me. That was an embarrassing moment for me. I knew that it happened because of their indiscipline attitude. One of the students came to me and said " ma'am sorry , we have done a mistake for which we are facing shortage of pen. Don't worry ma'am we will give you immediately."  I said it is totally okay . Its not a big deal and smiled and moved on. On the way two students came and they gave a pen to my husband. I thought no pen is left for today.

 Later again a student came and she offered both of us a pen and touched our feet. I felt very happy and we enter in the auditorium hole. After the entrance I saw that all the females were wearing sador mekhela except me. The prediction came true and I told myself " brave girl well done". Today all are again followed the previous constructed pattern. Nobody showed the courage of wearing salwar suit . I along with the teachers of our department came to the stage and offered a beautiful gamusha by the union body members.  

People are afraid of change. Change is inevitable. And change for betterment is always good. And that day I alone stood for the change. And like everyone else I too given the same respect and honour. And a comfortable dress is not a bad Choice is such occasion. 

There was a drama arranged by the students but due to the sunny weather and huge gathering the auditorium bacame very hot and hardly one can stay there. Me and my husband were waiting for the show but suddenly I felt little suffocation and wanted to go outside. I told me husband and came to the department. 

After arriving the department, I saw that our department students were discussing something with the teachers. And I didn't know the matter that time. I asked one of my students about the matter and he told me that they are feeling sorry for not offering me pen . Later I laughed a little and said I didn't mind that. Don't feel sad.

After some time all the students came to the department again and offered me good wishes . They gave me a pen, a diary along with a rose. I felt so special. I told them that I am really feeling special as you didn't ignore the issue and tried to correct your mistake. It happens sometimes but I is always good to give an immediate response. I offered them good luck for their future. 

Later I saw the students were arranging some lunch for us. My husband and I felt little sad because they are still students and they are not earning either. So it is totally unnecessary to arrange such stuffs for us. Instead of this if they can sing a song or showed a craft we will be more happy. After that my husband and I brought hot samosa and two bottles of sweet water for them. And in this manner we celebrated my teachers day.

in the next day suddenly  a student came to me and touched my feet and said ," ma'am sorry yesterday I didn't get the chance to offer my wishes to you. Hence please blessed me today."  His lines touched my heart and I felt really blessed to hear such words from my student.
