YES SIR

Well, the first thing I noticed about him was he had 4 buttons in his apron. He was tall. And bald. Now being a short fella, I have always dreamt of and been jealous of tall people. And the fact that he was a strict teacher who did mind at the smallest of the things like dress, behaviour etc made me at a distance from him in my undergraduate days. They said that he had the best academic Carrier in amongst our faculty members. But I was the novice young soul balancing academic scoreboard and falling in and out of love. I had no time to cultivate respect ( or for that matter hate ) for any teacher in those days. Days passed and he became balder as i grew wiser to realise what he was. A rare soul...... First i had friends who said that he was great and was worth idolising. I had my doubts and refused to give into complete surrender in the form of YES SIR in each and every thing. But i realised with time that he was worth much more. I have come to idolise him in a way of a silent surrender. I refuse to name him but he is worth a place high up in the memoirs of a Student in me.
