Thank you for refreshing my school time memories....

The other day I was talking to my friend about my post Saffron, White, Green asking her did you read this post of mine. she said yes and I come from KV School and it reminded her of PT teacher who used to instill that pride of the nation within us. And the conversation continued further, I too come from KV and did the schooling across india due to my father being in Army (reasons known).

Me: I know how the teachers used to be in KV.
She: yeah and I remember how we used to give them nicknames.

Me: you bet.
Me: there wasn't any teacher who had nickname.
She: yeah and that too short forms like EPND

She: I remember their short names better than their real names now.
Me: lol

She: if some on asks who was ur chemistry teacher in class 9 I surly would say Pressure cooker, because he used to make that noise like shhh shhh all time.
Me: yup... we used to call our chemistry teacher in 10th class as hot cake... (reasons known).

And the conversation continued further...... finally she told me to have a blog for the... "teacher's nickname".

here are few nicknames that keep flashing my (our) mind:

I sincerely thanks to all my KV teachers across India for refreshing my and my friend's memories. But I also admit that these KV teachers were really good in their respective subjects and any questions asked irrespective of it being stupid or most silliest on the earth, they (few of them) had answered it so well that a good student will never forget it.

Thanks alot.... :)
