Poem written by my student Durga Tilak

This is the sweetest gift a teacher can get from a student , a beautiful poem written by my student Durga

TEACHER…


Dance class was just my hobby,
Until in you came
And from that day on,
It was never the same.

Dance class meant ‘fun’
Dance class meant excitement,
But the day you cancelled it,
It spelt utter disappointment!

Your hard work, your sincerity,
Your energy, your practice,
It was all this that encouraged us,
To never give in.

The precision with which you danced
Was sheer inspiration
It was then that we realized
It was lot of perspiration!

You would never scream,
You would never shout,
With patience you would listen
To anyone with a doubt.

Your annual days were surely
Something to look forward to
The performances did have in them
A whole lot to do!

The best part of it was
The corrections of your lot,
When you would just sit
And keeping smiling on!

That tongue-in-cheek smile
Told us of our mistakes
Needless to say we didn’t feel the need
To ask you to illustrate!

Your forgetfulness
Never failed to surprise us
When you’d choreograph one move
And do exactly the other!

It is with pride I say today
That I am your student
I promise you to work hard
And follow your example



Thank you for being the teacher you are!!
