It was 1976-77.
I went to collect my result of Grade-III.
Our class teacher was Ms.Aisha Khatoon.
I was sitting on the bench & waiting for my turn.
She called me,took out my report card, smiled & hugged me.It was the sign that i secured distinction & position in the class.
She took out a storey book & given me as "present" for my performance in the examination.
It was a total new experience for me that my teacher given me a gift from her own pocket.
The name of storey book was "chhoti laltain"(small lantern).
How can i forget the name of book & the contents, inspired me at the time when i was not knowing the meaning of inspiration.
What i remembered there after, to work hard & your teacher will give you more storey books as present.
This was a fine example of Jamia middle school, where teachers were slowly but surely building the personalities.
