The Hindi Teacher...



Today I am going to share with you the story of A Hindi Teacher
whom you may not be knowing
I studied at Rourkela, Kolkata and Durgapur as a child
I was forced to quit my education at Durgapur when I was in tenth class
The reason were naxalbari movement in West Bengal...
I took direct admission in Andhra Matriculation at VT College,Visakhapatnam
Interestingly, I joined mid-session but could secure 29th position in Andhra University, Matriculation
I was offered National Merit Scholarship as well as Hindi Scholarship for having secured second highest marks in Hindi...
I was keen to take up Hindi Scholarship but the conditions were not favourable
Hindi Scholarship would have continued as long as I continued my studies in Hindi...
Hence I accepted National Merit Scholarship...which continued all through my education at Mrs. A.V.N. College and Andhra Medical College
I started taking Hindi tuitions to matriculate students while I was pursuing myself intermediate ( Higher Secondary equivalent to plus 2 ) at Mrs. AVN College
The tuition money sufficed my entire expenses including frequent surprise gifts to my parents, watching innumerable bollywood movies and of course pursuing MBBS
I can recall vividly numerous instances when my Hindi teachers themselves readily accepted that I knew Hindi more than the teachers themselves...
