Bidding Adieu..

Today was the farewell programme of a dear teacher from school. She was, is and always will be known for her profound artistic knowledge and outlook of life. To put it simply she was our art teacher. Over the years she stroked, moulded and shaped each of her students lives. She was strict and extremely thorough in every aspect of whatever she did. I often felt that she felt extremely lonely in her profession but over the years I learnt that only was she extremely happy with her calling but she was also proud of the same. We lost a great teacher but we truly lucky to have been her students. 

 The programme was so splendid that it left her in tears. She handled herself very well and spoke kindly to each of us. This however inspired me to look at this in a differently. This teacher was so invaluable and so brilliant and yet we bade farewell. The mere thought of her absence is saddening and her loss incalculable. 
This make one realize what would happen if events like this was sudden. Her farewell was planned in advance and the programme was carefully thought of and executed with finesse. If this was something that happened quickly, the sudden the pain felt would be that equal to the pain of a loved one's demise. We so desperately cling on to people in the hope that we can find some meaning in them, something that we do not find in ourselves without realizing that in doing so we have built for ourselves a doorway to that person's most intimate world. We are proud of what we accomplish as an individual but truly we should be more proud of what we accomplish as a team. Working together towards on common goal and succeeding, that is true happiness. That is exactly what happened with the programme, we all worked hard and stuck together. The outcome was truly beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for reading.
