After my post-graduation, I had to venture for some time as a lecturer in Kerala. As part of that, I taught in a women's college(PUC). I taught 60 girls in a class, both computer science theory and practicals; I was a bit reluctant to join there because I was 23 then and I had to teach 60 girls of the 17-year-old age group; it was very hard for me. Later I realised I enjoyed it also as I could teach brilliant students over there; however, I have some memories there. One day 2 girl students came; they said one girl in the class is in love with you and she wants to meet you in person; I became completely blank then, I was somehow managing these girl students , and on top of that these romance stuff also came , I told them "I am not interested in anything now and also please don't reveal her identity to me because I cannot teach and even she cannot listen to my class properly ".I don't know her identity until today.Months later, when the inter-college arts festival was held, I mentored a few students for for tableau ; 8 girls participated. It was a good memory because they won 3 levels and participated in the state-level final.
This teaching experience helped me during my TCS days as well. Apart from my engineer's lead roles there , I had to train 30 fresher engineers for 6 months to equip these freshers for the work . Happy Teachers Day ! .
