The Real Gurus...



Today there was a much awaited freshie welcome in our college. Until now i had an impression that there is always a differentiation between the Professors and the students. But it proved that I was very wrong in believing this. Today the Professors were as enthusiastic as we were and they were also enjoying this wonderful evening with their students.For the first time I saw a kid in these people. They are all always very busy in their research activity and teaching sincerely. But today we realized that there are also just like us. They also has shared a dais with students .On the top of it they also performed very well. The singing performance by one of our madam's and that too without any practice believe me was nevertheless comparable with most of the good singers. Also there was a fundoo performance by one of the professors. we were very surprised to see him playing "Sitar" (one of the rarest instrument) and he played a raag (as usual i don't remember the name of the raag :)) exceptionally very well. Now it was our turn to give him a standing avation for his great performance. First time in my life I saw a hall full of 3 hundred to 4 hundred people giving a standing avation to some performance. Some institutes are very well known for their reputation but I would say, that reputation is because of such all rounder professors and there very good students :).
Few years back in my school life I read a proverb, "Specialist is one , who knows everything about something and nothing about anything else". But with todays experience i should say the Faculties here is not just a Specialist but they are genius who knows everything about something (their research) and exceptionally well about anything else........
