To think I am writing a letter to you!
I have been thinking of writing a letter to you, while you are at JNVS, so as to show that you are still in my heart. Do you believe it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that I can forget you and your stay in my house. The pleasure of your company lingers in my mind though I seem to keep aloof myself from you and your family. I am not writing this letter to you since I have been nearly dimented with worry about you. I am writing this letter to you in the belief that it will be a tremendous boon to you for your grand success in your class x (matric) exam. You may have a premonition that it would disturb your mind. What I am going to say about myself emerge from my head since I have thought about everything deep and deep, and it has rooted in my brain. I do believe that you will find the way in which you are addressing me utterly abhorrent when you recall that I have not enlightened you about education but the conduct of a human's life, but I thought I did something more than the ''on the conduct of life'', which we don't take as a part of our so-called education. Will I claim that what I am doing is right about the duties of a teacher, and that no one can cross what I am doing? I come to know it in the end that it has been proved that my belief is wrong. Who proved it? Confidential? Humorous! Do students clamour for my resignation from Tuition? Who are the students? It is they who are not studious. I know only those teachers who have strong and unreasonable beliefs that they are more pedagogically, morally, educationally more important than others support them(the students) and are working boastfully. I have to learn to reconcile myself to these unpleasant situations . I always put it in my mind that your family is my family. This feeling has germinated in my mind. I have a conviction that even I will not have strength to root it out. Do believe me. What I am saying to you is not like the bait that tempts a fish to eat and to jump into the jaw of the angler. I think it will be impossible that I will be able to pay for what your father did for me. He helped me physically, financially and mentally. You are all in my heart. Your positive thinking will make you think what I am saying positive. You are on the verge to take a test on your knowlege, which may be accepted to be a bottom line of a student's life. My everyday prayer to God will be an encouraging thing to you. God will give you the power that you can use in your duty so that you can( may in Indian grammar books) top your examinations and achieve the goal to which you aspire. I am not saying these thinking that I am one of your teachers.
I can't forget those days when you and I spent a number of nights under a single blanket. I used to talk to you about education. You seem to consider those I talked to you as a complete idiot's babble. You are right because the knowledge you expected from me did not emerge from my defunct head.
You parents may take my letter as something that will bore you. They don't like you to fart away reading such a letter. It will not be invaluable to you. But I request you to study without building tension in your mind. If you study hard , you will be able to catch your role model up.
It seems that my pedagogic principles has not satisfied you so I sometimes think that I am not competent to teach a student like you, and teaching is not within my competence, but I am not a pedagogue. Sometimes, I feel it will be better for me to leave teaching, but I think it is not a good thing that I leave teaching fruitlessly. Actually I am not much absorbed in private tuition. Now-a-days some of the teachers in kakching has the habit of spreading propaganda as politicians do. Ridiculous! They have condescending attitude towards others. They zero in only on what they do. They don't work in cooperation with others.
I am not in the best position to advise you; however, let me tell you something regarding what students ( I am still a student) should do. We have to learn everything very consciously. I think it will not solve our problem that we are heavily dependent on teachers. There is no other things invaluable than we try to do everything on our own. Let me make my point clearer by giving you some examples. In one of our mathematical algebraic identities, ( a+b)2 = a2 + 2ab+ b2, one of us( like me) may be confused about how ( a+b)2 equals a2+ 2ab+ b2. Here, what I intend to say is that we should think very carefully how it comes before we go to someone else. If we think, we may figure out how it is. The idea is sure to come into our mind. It is the product of ( a+b) and (a+b) like 3 square= 9 , that is, 3 into 3 = 9. When we think if ''Elephants help us to carry our loads on their backs'' works or not, we need analyse it grammatically and symantically.( I don't think it works from the symantic point of view though it is grammatically correct) I mean it is far below the intended purpose. So, it should be: Elephants help us by carrying heavy loads on their backs. It is one of the patterns that sound good. We should think it over before we seek help from others. Suppose we have a passive sentence like '' A prize was got by me'', we should think if it sounds good and we should be conscious that all transitive verbs cannot be used in passive, for example, the transitive verb ''get'' is not used in passive. You are aware of what I saying. But who can give an example that one can succeed without teachers? Teachers show us the path that we should take to reach our destinations. If we don't take it , what will happen? Teachers' motivation is of great importance. Let us find out what our lessons say by ourselves, but if we are confused about anything, let us go to our teachers.I pray that you may live heathily and study tiredlessy. You should be a bookworm. You are better to take vitamines to combate fatigue. I expect you will serve the state after achieving your goal. I always pray that anything undesirable may not disturb you. You should be extremely defensive about or caution against any odd things that come to you to make your mind deviate from the way through which youl will be able to scale the heights of your life/career. You are brainy enough to face everything. I am telling you to caution against man's sometime ignorance about the thing they should always put in their mind. I mean whatever you do should not be in exactly the same way as what an ignoramous does. What I want to remind you of is nothing but your teachers' advice. We cannot afford to ignore their advice. If you are not so studious that you can be one of the persons who can turn their dreams of life into reality, you will not only break your parents' heart but also lose yourself. You should try your best to realize your full potential. You are in the best position to succeed in your class x exam largely, brilliantly and admirably. I think it is necessary that we are very well qualified academically, but it is not the sole means of achieving our goal. You may begin the countdown for your examination, but you should not get youselves tensioned. You should study very calmly and self- confidently. Have I been a circumlocutor? All of these are what I want to say.
I request you to keep this letter confidential. I do hope you will do it.
In conclusion, I would like to thank you for reading this letter from beginning to end. I, who am always your well-wisher, am waiting eagerly for the auspicious day when you come to stand in front of me with a laurel wreath on your head.
Wishing you all the best.
