uper excitement running in my veins as
Sthe clear sky dawned brightly. I had
everything - done and ready to go, a few
minutes earlier than usual to reach school. Ha,
yes, to reach school, you heard it (here – read it)
right. When things fall in place as per our wish,
school is the only place to preen and enjoy. You
are not yet into the reason for my restlessness
and thrill to be in school. I often realize that when
I am this super excited I tend to forget the rest of
the world I inhabit. After building up this
uproarious anticipation what I say now is going
to be a dampener but who cares, I don't,
ha ha ha.
Any idea what's happening here…. That's called
creating anticipation and curiosity whichever way
it is to draw your attention. I remember one such
teacher during our high school days, who used to
build up so much curiosity to connect it to the
topic. Most of those trailers used to be from our
day to day life experiences. I wish you to be able
to guess the name of the teacher after listening
to this – an all time favourite line – of the teacher.
“ Beginning of the month – king
Middle of the month – middle class man
end of the month - ------ “
This used to be the teacher's way of explaining
how chemicals react and how energy is lost or
gained. Coming back to my original excitement –
dear all, I have an aluminum pills foil digging a
hole in my bag
“ HOLE - empty hole
Not WHOLE - full”
Every line he used to say to enrich our knowledge
in chemistry used to have a line – tagged. Hi Hi
Hi…. Back to my aluminium foil and the reason
why it's giving me exhilaration. To make Practicals
in chemistry lab interesting Hari Gopal sir, used to
make us bring things from home. As far as I
understand, this is to make us feel that chemistry
is not a foreign subject but a part of our life.
I admire his teaching methods, he interacts with
every student in class, draws their attention and
involves them.
