Janmashtami and Teachers Day at the same time!

गुरु गोविंद दोनों खड़े, काके लागूं पाँय । 

बलिहारी गुरु आपनो, गोविंद दियो मिलाय ॥

God and Teacher, both are standing before me, whose feet shall I touch first?

Dear Teacher, your first; for it was you that I met God.

What better day than today when both teacher and God are being celebrated and worshiped together. It's Janmashtami - birthday of Lord Krishna and also the Teacher's day.

I have a colleague who celebrate Janmashtami by cutting cake on this auspicious day. He says, we cut cake on our birthdays, then why shall we leave behind the most loved God.

My kiddo made this card for his class teacher - ok, I did the drawing part and he coloured them.

Here is my little effort to express my gratitude towards everyone who taught me anything in life. They all get the space of teachers in my heart:

Thank you mom, my first teacher,

You taught me what life is.

Actually, you gave me my life!

Thank you papa, my least acknowledge teacher,
