The Important Job


What is the most important job in the world???Is it a doctor who is trying to save lives every day.Or a police official whose job is to fight against crime(Though its not happening) or an architect whose decisions could impact thousands of life who take the bridge or flyover to work everyday or a software engineer who ok i don't have anything for a software engineer though i am one.
According to me the most important job is the one who makes all these guys who they are and how good they are at what they do "the teachers" or "the gurus" who hand over their skill to their pupils .I am not just talking about teacher  in school that make sure that you complete your homework on time but all the people from whom you have learnt a skill.That skill could be long division or pottery or even sewing.
And since most of our childhood is spent in the company of our FAMILY they are our first teachers.
I have been blessed with the two most contrasting people as my parents and have learnt a  lot from them.
Moms way of life.Don't waste your time thinking about the future just think about tomorrow And live to eat
She just loves to cook and can cook almost anything that is vegetarian .She is one of the most productive person i have known not wasting even a moment of her life .Her schedule is more jam packed than a ceo of a company and mind you she is a house wife.Busy Sometimes so much that she has hardly time for  me:) .
Dads motto .Health is Wealth  & Wealth is everything
Even at 48 he can walk more than i can and is fitter than i am (ok i have never liked excersice and never been the athletic type) .His eating timing are so perfect  that it would give the german railway system a run for its money (i wish i could  write the indian railway system).Lot of people still tell that he looks like my elder brother .
And since i have mentioned family as the first teacher i would like to mention my sister who always listens to her heart She from very young age knows what she wants and thats the reason i am jealous of her.Her confidence is admirable even a day before exam without any preparation .She wants to become an artist and i think she is pretty good at it

In  the movie kung fu panda where the panda(Po) becomes the dragon warrior with the help of his master(Shifu) is a great example of how  a great teacher can transform someone.
I remember joining BASE(Coaching institute for IIT) fresh out of school without any clue about what the exam was for.Heck i thought the entrance test to BASE was IIT.But two years in that place transformed my life. From a no one in my school I got a state rank of 68 in AIEEE(ok its my blog so i am allowed to brag a little ). Thats what great teachers in BASE did to me.
Also i found that my success in the exam  goes to the friends who i learnt a lot of stuff from.
That brings me to the next teachers your FRIENDS.Even me writing this blog was because of my friends in citrix who say that i talk a lot and spoil their mornings and should start writing .Thanks guys.

'Growth is a strange thing' says one of the characters in an anime i am a big fan of.And it is.Growth in all aspects not only monetary(My marwari friends would kill me for this) is important.And mentors or teachers are as much responsible for your growth as you are.


PS:My first blog.My grammar is not that great(Blame it on the english teachers :))
