In India we celebrate the Teachers Day on 6 September dedicated to our first president, Dr Radha Krishna butUNESCO after a conference convened in Paris on the status of teachers proclaimed 5 October as the World Teachers Day.

I take this opportunity to salute my foremost teacher, my parents, for giving me a strong foundation that has stood me ground all these years. There were no contradictions in their ideology and I feel blessed to have parents who never compromised with truth and values. I also salute all my teachers in school, college and seniors who I met in later life. My colleagues, friends, relatives, contemporaries, even my competitors who imparted valuable lessons of life.

To all those who crossed my path – for short and long duration and provided me an opportunity to expand my wings, learn different things, face challenges. My art gurus who enhanced my aesthetics, my tech gurus who taught me devices, formats and my spiritual guru who brought me closer to myself. I bow my head in utmost gratitude. I am what I am today because of the sum total of my experiences and you have contributed to my blossoming.
