Given below is a letter sent by some of my students from the Bachelor
of Mass Media batch at Vivekananda Educational Society for Arts,
Science and Commerce.I taught them in 2001when they were in
their first semester. They were allegedly recalcitrant, but I found
them extremely bright and talented. They were a lively bunch and
7 years later, they have turned out to be very successful professionals.
Students have turned out to be my wealth and letters like this,
prized possessions.
THE LETTER:
Hello Sir,
How are you? I couldn't decide
what to write to you. We gave our first University
Exams this time.They got over yesterday. We did
okay but not very satisfactory. We met in college
today to decide the faculty for the next semester.
The portion is vast in the last two semesters
and the professors just don't give justice to it.
We faced a lot of problem this semester because
of this.We dint have a clue what we had to study
for the exams.And today when we met for the
faculty we want for the next semester we
remembered you. And we remembered you every time
we talked anything about our faculty.
It has been one year since we finished the third
semester and we appeared for two papers taught
by you.It has been a long time and we have missed
you every moment of it.The principal and the
vice principal think that we like professors who
are soft on us and are very lenient.But that's
not true. To be frank with you, you were never
very lenient with us. But the kind of inspiration
you gave us was tremendous.
None of our professors who have taught us for the
lat two semesters have inspired us as much as you have.
We still remember the time when you used to say "YES"
or "BINGO" when someone gave a correct answer.
It was a great feeling when you pointed at one of us
and say "BINGO".We made us feel special. We still
imitate you and say "YES or "BINGO".
One more thing that we have realized after these exams
is that our advertising basics have been very clear under
your training.We could answer a lot of questions even in
this exam after one year on the basis of what you had
taught us. Our foundation of advertising has become so
strong, thanks only to you. One more thing we have
observed is that we used to wait for your lectures.
It was a disappointment if you were not able to come.
We would wait in the corridor for the blue Santro.
There was healthy competition in class for being
the best in your projects. I can never forget my
Mercedes project.
On this Diwali sir, after one year, we miss
you a lot. We feel each teacher should have the
kind of passion you had in your teaching.
But of course there cannot be another
Prof. Vinod Natesan. Whatever our success sir,
the credit goes to you. Thanx a lot for making
us better advertising professionals and mot of
all inspiring us with your actions. We still
feel inspired when we remember you.
We would all like to wish you a Very
Happy and Prosperous Diwali. Please stay in
touch. We miss you a lot. We wish you were
here to guide us.
Best wishes to our best teacher
Missing you
The class of 2001 SYBMM
Your dream batch.
