When I gave a red rose to my Physics teacher!

A page from the personal diary of Nikhil Chaddha There are always a few sweet memories from your growing up days that never fail to bring a smile on your face. I remember I was very shy in school, so even if I liked a girl I could never walk up to her and say it. So, whenever I liked a girl I would speak to her through my friends. Like if a friend of mine has his girlfriend in the same girl’s group he would ask his girlfriend to know what she thinks about me. And, once I knew what she thought of me only then would I approach her. I had this big time crush on my Physics teacher when I was in Class 8. She was also a radio jockey and so had a beautiful voice that I absolutely loved. But, it wasn't just me who was crazy about her, the other guys were in love with her too! I remember when she had first entered our class, I thought her to be this perfectly beautiful woman with a great voice. I think as kids we always search for those picture perfect things and we find them in people who are mature and older to us and hence develop a liking towards them. I think that's what happened in my case. I did not like Physics but since she was our teacher I would complete all my homework on time and never miss her class. I had never given her a gift but on Teacher’s Day but funnily, every other boy too gave her a rose! But, the saddest part of the entire story is that she was married and we came to know about it much later!
