Two of my students from Spring semester found me on Facebook.
One of them said he misses my class every Tuesday! He also said that he enjoyed learning the things I taught in the second half of the semester and regrets that he didn't take serious interest from the beginning of the semester.
I feel I have achieved one of my teaching missions today: making a student (that too a non-major student) interested in learning the subject.
They usually are only interested in completing the course as a degree requirement. Some of them are also interested in the grades sometimes :)

I love those moments! Does wonders to your professional development, doesn't it?
dont take them seriously gal....students always have crush on their teachers.......lol
jokes apart.....congrats ..tats like a certificate..
u reminded me of my early profession!!!
I was a teacher to begin with and now i miss that job... where u r really respected and u feel at times that yes... u r rewarded.
A student of mine was so rigid, he got a job in Shoppers Stop as Floor Manager, that too Men's Casual... now whenever i used to visit the store he used to touch my feet (dandavat literaly) and i used to feel so embarrased...
but i always felt proid within that yes... i have atleast done something for my students and they recognize me!!!
Ahhh... those were good days :)
So good hai teacher... keep doing the good work and more often u will feel rewarded...
Cheers!!!

Yes it feels really good. Unfortunately, I will not be teaching for sometime as my next job will be only research. But I hope I get to do it again in few years..as a professor :)
@Arunima: Totally.
@Samby:Thanks Samby.
Btw, please don't delete your blog. You are not at all a bad influence. The posts in controversy were very eye-opening to me at least. I am fortunate to never experience any such brutal thing, but your posts taught me to keep an open eye in future when I have kids. So please don't delete everything.
@Ashu: Hey, thanks to you too :)
