This is my student, Gaurav, an ISC candidate of 2026.This picture is from last year during our tuition classes.
With 16–17 years of teaching experience, I have observed a massive change in students’ psychology over the last 8–9 years.And really I accept these changes without any judgment, as every generation eventually adapts to social changes.
However, I must also admit that nowadays the bond between students and teachers both in terms of respect and friendship has become almost obsolete.The reason is not only the changing mindset of the new generation, but also the shift in teachers’ mentality, along with the increasing influence of a marketing-driven and business-oriented education system.
In spite of all these, GAURAV is one of those rare students with whom I feel a genuine internal connection. This is not out of bias he has truly earned this place. And he has earned it not just through academics, but through his behavior, manners, thoughts, and those intangible qualities that define a good human being qualities that are becoming increasingly rare in both students and teachers today.
When I visited his home, I realized that this goodness is not accidental. It comes from his family. Everyone in his household, his parents, grandparents, even the household staff are consistently well-mannered, respectful, and genuinely kind, without any pretence.
Although he studies in a renowned school in Kolkata and has achieved excellent results in his board exams, these achievements are still secondary to his all values of humanity. I have taught many high-scoring students from reputed schools, but I have rarely come across someone like Gaurav someone who possesses such strong moral values and a truly good heart.
May God bless him with all the happiness and success he truly deserves in life. This is all I can wish for him. I am really blessed to have him as my student for the past few years.🙏
