Being remembered is one of the blessing. But to make it possible we need to do something different. And this should come from within yourself rather than expecting a publicity.

I love to be remembered as Iam. In life we make so many flaws, but I believe I haven't pained anyone knowingly. By nature, I am a person who talks less. This has too many positivity and negativity too.

My upbringing in government quarters by mingling with people from east to west and north to south India, taught me the value of life and beauty of friendship with people from middle class family with varied culture, caste and creed. No discrimination, no ego, no hatred and so on.

My mother was always a silent listener, probably her voice went unnoticed whenever she wished to convey something. A portion of this air was also a drive in me. To understand this it took me years, when I was given a warm farewell by my colleagues in school. Because many came up to say she was a silent listener - no retreats, no abuse, no threats etc. only smiles. I was happy to hear this. So in my career I have never pained anyone knowingly.

_May be they considered me as an empathetic listener. Anywhere around the globe, we do have issues. But when somebody is their to hear your voice, we believe half our issues are being solved. Its human nature. Infact, I was one of them. Every morning atleast one of my colleagues approach me with their problem. I was a good listener, but I never intended to give an answer, because it revolves around the workforce. And I usually don't discuss this w_ith a third person.

I was going through the article posted by Hive account@princessbusayo where the students and parents were reluctant to leave her, as they will be missing a wonderful teacher. This reminded me of the time when I left the school for good. I never informed my students Iam leaving once and for all. But when I arrived after an year for my visa renewal, I happened to meet few students who were leaving for vacation and they ran towards me, hugged me and said "so much they missed me". They wanted me to come back. On hearing this, I was nearly to tears but happy in the other end because even after a year passing by they wished me to come back. So that's life.

Do good and be good to be always remembered.
