My Teacher

He came to class on a Saraswati Pooja day ... and he knew that we all would have come to college just for attendence. Yes, it was a full house, with none of us even with a pen or a paper. He starts a conversation about Topological objects. This led some curious students to ponder deeply, thinking out loud; confusing him quite. Then he talked more and we pondered more; this time everyone. This repeated for quite some while ... and we returned home satisfied for not having wasted our day! The next day, we open our topology text and read the topological theories that we derived on our minds the previous day. WOW I will never ever forget that incident.

PS : Topology is a (Mathematical) subject that deals with sets.

Seems, you had a good teacher!
After all teaching is not abt pushing facts, but kindling the though process isntit?

He is an excellent teacher.

Yes, the duty of the teacher is to kindle the fire suitable for the students, the rest is magic.
