Teacher commands the same respect as one's father.

Teaching as a career
In our childhood, children loved to become a teacher while in small classes because we thought it was a powerful job. Then preferences shifted to bus conductor, police man and so on. Children from rich families were trained to aspire to become doctors and engineers. Career counseling was unheard of.
"Me too" started my career as a teacher. Within a month, left that and joined a quasi government organisation as a clerk. Shifted a couple of jobs and retired from RBI after 40 years.
I had more envy for teachers than respect from the very beginning and I continue to look at teachers with awe and respect now also.
My teachers include :
Raman Menon who introduced me to Bertrand Russell
Prof V Subramanian who made me understand that looks can be deceptive, till you interact.
P K Parthasarathy who taught me the basics of office behaviour and how to get things done.
Usha Thorat : Mind your business, winning and losing do not mean everything in a game, and...in life.
C S V Warrier : My Guru in trade union matters, leadership, philosophy and spirituality.
My parents and sisters.
The list is long.
My wife Sudha is a good teacher with decades of experience in teaching kids and Yoga to elders. Recently I found that daughter Reshmy too has aptitude for teaching in addition to her multiple talents we were aware.

The book I may read this week
The Hindu View of Life
Hindu View Of Life https://amzn.in/d/3qkQSL8
A timeless treatise on what constitutes the Hindu way of life Religion in India can appear to be a confusing tangle of myths, with many different gods and goddesses worshipped in countless forms.This complexity stems from a love of story-telling, as much as anything else, but it is only the surface expression of Indian faith. Beneath can be found a system of unifying beliefs that have guided the lives of ordinary families for generations. Here, one of the most profound philosophers of India explains these and other related concepts intrinsic to the Hindu philosophy of life.
