This world is full of people ... we come across many in our day-to-day interactions ... most we forget ... few we faintly remember and there are very few which we vividly remember... in fact we never forget them ... these are people who live their life like it should be lived ... simple,selfless and for others! It's just by mere association with them that we find our life full of color ... full of hoping and worth living!!
Mrs Joglekar was more than a teacher to me ... Apart from being a dedicated teacher (a rarity these days), she instilled a belief in each of her students, she always encouraged us to do well and achieve more in life!! It was really astonishing to see a person who taught only out of pure love for teaching! It's no wonder that students even after leaving the school , kept in touch even 10 years after school ... because that was how she was ... like a guiding star!!
I would never forget the way she believed in my brother's ability when he was not doing well in school and was afraid to sit for the SSC exam ... she trusted him even when my parents had no hope for him... Both of us were very fond of our teacher and always made it a point to visit our guru on "guru pournima" and during Ganpati!
But it wont be the same any longer ... since long time she was suffering from a illness and today morning she passed away! She will be dearly missed not only as a great teacher but also as a person who lived selflessly... May her soul rest in peace!
