An angel who made my career

She met me when i was a student in KV School, JNU, Delhi. She met me when i was one of the worst student of the class (at least on the academic front), she met me when i was alone and on one to guide me on the academic and carrer building front, she met me when i was about to fail in my school.

I am writing about my tution teacher whom i went to in Class IV, my parents were not educated enough (academically) to teach me and as at that point of time we belonged to very lower middle class family living in a village in Delhi , they were very busy in making our dreams and worried about marraige of my brothers and sisters, my brothers and sister never had the time because of the age gap. She came in my life as an angel who made my career.

She belonged to Hyderabad and was living in Delhi with her husband and two kids of almost my age. he husband was doing some project from IIT Delhi.She used to charge 60 rupess a month and used to teach around  10 students a time. First day when i went to her she asked me to write as many english word i knew with hindi meaning and believe me i was only able to write two words, english had always been weakness. But within a month i was her best student and when after one month she again asked me to write as many words and this time i did farely well two pages ... i was excited and one of the most happy person around. Showed my work to everybody around .... slowly and gradually she made me one of the bright students in my class. I remember in my VI standard she once went to Hyderabad and my result was to come out i was very tense and said madam you should be here, she gave her address and went to Hyd, i actually send her a post card with my result she came back and hugged me and was very happy. After that i never looked back and kept on doing very well in all the subjects.  

Then in class VII i was still her student, they decided to move to Hyd. i was like shocked, with tears in my eyes i said madam what will happen now, how will i study,she said Shiv life never stops u will get another teacher, BUT i knew i will never get.

AND I ACTUALLY NEVER GOT...

I could not even meet her when she were actually leaving Delhi, i was in my school. Biggest irony is i dont even know her name as i always used to call her Madam, Madam, Madam. Her face is till in front of me and will always remember because whatever i am all credit for that goes to her. I wish i can somehow find her and i am sure if she remember me, she would be one of the most happiest person. I tried from various sources but could not find her. I wish Madam wherever you are pls keep showering me with your love and blessings, and i wish you would be with all the happinees in this world. Had she not met me i would have never be able to even finish my sschool forget the Grad and the higher studies.

I feel one day we will definately meet, i am sure she will never be able to recognise me but i will as her face still shines in my eyes and will always be. And that day for me would be my meeting with GOD.

Pls meet me...........Madam
