A slight deviation from the theme of this blog series: this post is no way connected to Civil Services preparation.
Today being the Teacher's Day, I thought I must write about a great teacher at my native place, whose expertise in Mathematics lies solidly behind the phenomenal success of scores of youths of Porayar and surrounding areas in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu.
If one browses through the grade sheets of a hundred +2 students in the area, the marks obtained by them in Mathematics would be very high compared to other subjects. Even mediocre students would have got a ton in Maths. And this fact stands testimony to the greatness of Mr. B Venkataraman, popularly known as 'BV' in the area.
Ask any student of +1, +2, Engineering or Science branches in colleges, they will gratefully acknowledge the magic of BV. They will tell how BV had made Maths learning a fun!
During the past 20 years of his dedicated service, this man has produced many a centurians in +2 Maths. Many rank holders of TBML College, Porayar in the Bharathidasan University Examinations are products of BV.
It is no exaggeration if I say, BV, who is in his forties, has totally dediacted himself for the service of the student community. He tirelessly spends his entire day in teaching Maths for all higher classes for no significant monetary gains. It is total dedication, nothing less!
Today, hundreds of his students occupy high positions in the United States and in the software firms in India. Solely because of the high marks in Maths, they were able to become what they are today. More than his teaching, the best part of BV's magic is his close rapport with the students. Whenever his students happen to visit Porayar, most of them never forget to call on the great teacher as a mark of gratitude.
All along, this man has remained like the 'true ladder'. He has helped his students achieve the pinnacles of success, but he remains the same at the same place. But, this is indeed what teaching profession is all about!
One among the beneficiaries of his wisdom, I salute 'BV Sir' on behalf of hundreds of disciples.
