Behind that smile.

It’s always better to know the true essence of what profession one is into.
Money is obviously the biggest driver, but not the only one.
At a stage in life, your individuality remains not on your wealth, but how have you gotten that wealth.

A close lady friend of mine works for a foundation for promotion of liberal political ideology.
She wakes up at 5, after self induced interruptions in her sleep.
Rushes her kid to school, transports her maid to her ailing mother’s house,
Fixes her husbands breakfast and accessories, and rushes to work.
At work she finds her emancipation perhaps, and thus lands up doing most of the work.
If you do more you get more -more work that is.

During and little beyond the lunch hour, she takes her mom for chronic treatment, manages to reach office again, finish work, pick up her son, go home, read all the nouns, gerunds, trigonometry and prepare for dinner.

In all this time, her smile finds many a takers.
She is asked for favors, thinking she is more than willing to help.
And the saga continues.
More smiles lead to more effort to keep that smile.

However, what she needs to do to retain that smile forever.
Is to know the essence of what profession is she into and how does it change the course of how humans are going to live and think tomorrow.
How instrumental she has been in changing so many lives and their destiny.
How her smile has brought so many others to smile similarly.
How she becomes an inspiration, even without her knowing about it.
She stands for liberty for herself and for others.

She might seem, like a usual office girl,
A story as usual as anyone’s,
Even she seems unaware, like all other,
To retain that smile she needs to feel like,
The towering lady holding high the torch of liberty.

A Teacher is one who is understood..well, influnences and inspires life.
Happy teachers day.
