Chapter 2 Undefined Relation

Morning of the second day at college was very hectic; I was required to care of all administrative work along with the classes.


It was around 12:20 AM when I entered the class. All the students were present except for the gals…I was very surprised, so after taking the attendance I inquired about them..... One of the student (Ramadeep ...my fav) stood up and answered “ Mam, it’s the same reason but I won’t use say it with my mouth again….”. Hearing this, the whole class became quite.  I said -“No I got you, don’t worry I will take care of that“ and then started my lecture, I observed all the students were very week and were not interested in studying. They had different dreams and were following the wrong path….they didn’t know what they exactly wanted and what were they doing.So I decided that I won’t let them ruin their future, I would do something for them and would help them becoz I took them and their future as my responsibility. In the mean time I started sharing my real life experiences in my lecture and tried to involve all the students to participate, I never became complacent with strictness but still encouraged them and invited them to share their hobbies and personal problems with me. I wanted to win their trust

However there was one student in my class who was very introvert and quite, all the students used to tease him and used to make fun of him by calling him names. So I decided to help him. I called him one day and asked him to stay back after the lecture since I needed to talk to him personally….He nodded and went back. He came to me after the class.

I-said “What happened, why you are very quite u look very depressed, is there any problem with you…you can share with me…..may be I can help you…”

He was quite and tried to say, but again stopped himself…I didn’t want to force him. So I said….”If you are not comfortable then take your own time and come back only when you comfortable want to share with me. Just let know…I would be all ears…”

I noticed, he was feeling better after the meeting with me. May be its undefined relation that we have developed…

Then one day he approached me and said “mam I wanted to say something….but not in class….”

We went Bikanerwala , which was very near to my institute….

I ordered two shakes and kachori and then said…”yes what you wanted to share with me….

He started crying very badly and said  nothing …after 10 -15 minutes, he has shared his life ,about his family problems ….actually he had some problem in speaking becoz of this problem he was not able to share his thoughts and express himself….and always feel very shy and depressive…At that time I cant do any thing ..but I knew I can do one thing I can listen him…and encourage and support him which was the first help for him and I did it….

Its very tough job for me to gave him special attention in class , but I had manage becoz I knew if wont do it…I was not honest with my job…..

Now this Student is successful Software engineer in CMM level 5 company and I feel very much proud…. I don’t know its my hard work or his hardwork or fortune for his success but its something undefined day and undefined time which was the turning point of his life…..
