Who was your most influential teacher? Why?
All the teachers play a big role in our developing years. There have been many who influenced me. But one I remember still is my hindi teacher in grade 8 in school. Her name was Mrs. Sethi. She was an excellent person and I respect her. But the reason I remember her is that she changed my name. My nickname was Dolly and that was registered in school also. While sending the names to high school (9th grade) she changed it to Namrata. She did not ask my mom or me, those were the days of good old friendship types.
Afterwards she told us that Dolly is a very casual kind of name and doesn’t look good on the formal documents. She was right I think. This reminds me of the times when family and friends were genuinely concerned for you.
TODAY- you misspell your own child’s name and imagine…….. Changing name shouldn’ even cross your mind
