Power of a Teacher

Inspired by the timeless tales shared by Dr (Mrs) Amita Chauhan, Chairperson,
Amity Group of Schools & RBEF, GT presents part XV of a vibrant comic strip series,
 crafted by Arnav Verma, AIS VKC Lucknow, XII A

It was a glittering night full of bright minds – from doctors, CEOs to techies and scholars.

In the audience, we have an outstanding doctor, innovative engineer, brilliant CEO, and…

The host sheepishly calls out the last name…

...Ahem...a teacher.

Just a teacher!!

Unstirred by the reaction, the teacher takes the stage 

Yes, I am just a teacher… But I am the most powerful amongst us all.

You all are extremely busy people, but the day you get a note/call from the teacher of your child to meet her, you leave everything and rush to reach her. So, all of you are always at my beck and call.

The geniuses in the audience couldn’t deny… they too were moulded by a teacher!

The invisible red string

 Zoya Negi, AIS Noida, XII I

I lay unnoticed, yet binding tight
Connecting souls, side by side
Across horizons, and oceans wide
For I am the invisible red string
Holding you tight with all my might 

From birth to death, I weave my way
I can tie hearts or leave you with dismay
I am your guide, with compassion so great
Or a silent spider, for my invisible web
Is knotted with your inevitable fate

You could not possibly fathom
How deep your path is weaved
For I am the lines of your palm
The tarot cards you frequently read
Behind the destiny you’ve perceived

Dear mortal, your fortune is in my grip
Heed my whispers, or you may trip
For I am the fate’s cunning puppeteer
Yours truly, the invisible red string
Hold me tight and tread lightly, my dear!

Goldmine of creativity

Yashas Jain, AIS Mayur Vihar, XI C
 
In our GT newspaper, stories shine
Like a treasure chest, a reading goldmine
Words twirl and play on every page
Ink-filled adventures set the stage

Teachers rock, they’re incredibly cool
Infusing joy in learning at school
Headlines are puzzles we solve with glee
In this literary verse, we’re wild and free

Our newspaper’s a star, stories so neat
With colour and art, it’s a visual treat
Reading and writing are oh, so fun
Letting our imagination freely run.
