chapter 27

The words spoken by my young friend were still ringing in my ears. I could almost feel the presence of my favourite teacher Taara Mam near me when I started addressing the bunch of school kids who were the future of this world,"Hello, young friends! I hope you are not expecting to sleep through my keynote address today as I might discuss something which might be heavy for your young minds. It is about parenting. Yes, you might be a little shocked to hear the topic of today's discussion but believe me that we all are students here in this world as life is the only teacher which gives us experiences first and then gives us our lessons. So, my dear friends I simply want you to teach us, your teachers, parents and even elders about your feelings, thoughts and dreams so that instead of creating obstacles in your path towards your goals and bright future, we might help you in creating bridges along the way! When I was a young boy, I had failed in many things but I always got one thing right and that one thing was total honesty and transparency with my own mother. I always shared my feelings with her and she became my source of wisdom just like my teacher Taara Mam who became my light and my angel in life. I would like to start a group called Genius Inside where all those students who are not able to perform in any one particular thing will be paired with a best student from that field who could learn from his or her friend one thing in which he or she is good at.I really hope that this will help you in achieving your dreams like being a theatre personality or a soccer player in future!I wish you all the best!"I left the auditorium amidst a thundering applause and I felt happy once again to listen to the advice of my favourite Taara Mam  in my dream.
