Q1.wirte a summary of the paregaph and suitable a title In a way, one of the greatest gifts any teacher can give a student, I think, is to

inculcate a curiosity to learn. I've been incredibly lucky to have at least one such teacher

every stage in my life. The first was Mrs. Rowlands who taught me in primary school.

She taught me to read without ever pushing me. She made me want to read more by

giving me some of the most interesting children's books available. And, although, I still

love to go back to those books from time to time, it was only because of her that I was

able to read Shakespeare by the time I was ten, and Chaucer a year later.

In later years, it was Mr. A N. Patil, my Marathi and Hindi teacher who made a

huge impression on me. Every lesson he took, was spiced with half a dozen or more

anecdotes from a wide variety of subjects: among them were History, Politics, Religion

and Sociology. I was, and still am in awe of his knowledge, which despite rather desperate

attempts, I doubt I'll ever be able to match.

There have also been other teachers who helped me to try to become independent:

to think and act for myself using my own judgement, which to my mind has been just as,

if not more important, than actually learning anything.

After all, it's much too easy to become a completely useless repository of facts and

little else.

Two teachers whom I remember in particular are Mrs. Cynthia Nesamani and Sister

Monica, both taught me in school. The former, by and large, gave me a free rein to do

what I wanted to do. I, being one of those people who dislike instructions, she helped me

to produce much better results than I'd have otherwise done.
