Benevolence with innocence
dripping smiles of trust.
A hand held in distress
with such purity of love.
Through those powerful, pure intent
I saw the beauty in this world.
A warm and unmoving faith
curing the nerves
of a cold heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
——–<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a tribute to that soul who was so pure, so giving in nature. She was my school teacher, my favorite one and she passed away yesterday. This malicious virus engulfed her too. An exceptional mathematician with a heart of gold.
I was always interested in studies and was inclined towards giving Entrance exams after my 12th std but we couldn\u2019t afford all the Prep books\/material at that point in time. Something that I never said to her explicitly, I don\u2019t know how she understood but she came in front of my class loaded with fat paperbacks, called me out and handed me all the books (apart from our textbooks) so I\u2019d have enough material to study. I can\u2019t forget that day. I felt so ashamed thinking \u2018Do I even deserve this?\u2019 But I studied harder to do justice to the belief she had put in me. This is just one instance, and that too with me. She always went beyond for her students
Years later she met my mother in the market and when my mom told her that I completed the engineering and landed myself a good, stable job, her happiness knew no bounds. She was so excited to hear it.
She was a strong, independent, pure, bubbly and positive lady. Why god is obsessed with taking away good people, I\u2019d never understand. Wish I could meet her one more time to thank her for everything. Thanks for believing in me. Rest in Peace, Ma\u2019m. You are being dearly missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
