What is everyone reminded of
when they think about their school
here we turned smart from a fool
the corridors the classes and the grounds
the buses the cycles and the daily rounds

Most of all we remember our teachers
the gurus who taught us everything
Whose love we never saw
all we remember is the punishments
they gave to us... a bit liberally

Poor little innocent naughty us
we saw only the punishments
We couldn't appreciate their love
they loved us adored us cherished us
It's because of them that we achieve
all our goals and progress today

The teachers are who made us
they made us forget and end our follies
Trained us to be careful and to pursue
they taught us how to be an
Individual in a group and yet
they taught us how to be a team

They opened our eyes to the world
of books, games, rules, arts, sciences
the history of world, the art and crafts
the music, religion and politics, they also used to make us laugh and play

They saw us as kids, saw our potential
as we grew they moulded our beings
We all have imbibed a little of them
in us without even knowing

They sought the best in us
told our parents what we are best in
Even what they should keep an eye on
they knew us inside out,
And helped changed us into a better person

We also remember our loving gurus
the quality and integrity of theirs
Which has diluted in this generation
due to the corporate and target
oriented teaching of modern times

We wish our kids were taught by you
that's the ode we give you
This is the thank we give you
there never will be other like you
Our sculptor, our Guru, our respected dear teacher...
