A-Musings : At the General Store

Shanti store at Punjagutta was very close to Shahin Niketan, the school I started – the very first play school in Hyderabad.


All Punjagutta, Somajiguda and Banjara Hill kids were in it which was why it had become very famous.


Years later I happened to visit Shanti Store which was pretty crowded. I stood on one side quietly. The owner rushed towards me leaving others waiting.


An elderly gentleman said , “We have been waiting, you ignored us.”

The owner said, “ She was my Nursery teacher.”


“ Oh she was your teacher I am still your father.”


Everyone had a smile.


I said, “ I can wait; please serve him first.”

The gentleman smiled and said, “I was only joking. We just brought them into the world --- You taught them the correct art of living !!

Thank you Moidu Maam!”

A heartening anecdote indeed! Having been a teacher myself for nearly 35 years, I understand there’s no reward more satisfying than being recognised by an ex-students years/ decades later :)
