(Intro) - So we are Tenth C.
Actually many times 
the headmaster of the time
thought of hacking this entire section.
Teachers liked me; they want me to visit the
headmaster's room pretty often.
we wanted to do something to disrupt her life.
And of course she did not notice 
and some of them were giggling.
And that one thing made 
me in such a way that
I never forget… forgot that one teacher.
Speaker (Professor Y.
Srikanth): There is one teacher among many
that Sri Sadhguru fondly remembers.
That is Miss Sarasa.
Interviewer (Miss Sarasa): 
Namaskar Sadhguru (Applause).
You are back in the campus 
after almost fifty years.
Sadhguru: Forty-five. Interviewer 
(Miss Sarasa): Forty five years (Cheers).
What does it feel to be back?
Sadhguru: (Laughs) Well, no school kept me
for more than one year.
This is one school which kept 
me for two years (Laughter/Applause),
so I'm grateful for that (Laughs).
I have to admit I was not 
much of a student (Laughs).
I did come to school 
whenever it was must (Laughter).
Of all the schools that I went to, one-one
year, one-one year I was in different schools.
So, the very fact that I spent 
two years in this school,
I enjoyed this school most.
I must… I must share how 
I remember Saraswathi.
Interviewer (Miss Sarasa): 
Sarasa… Sarasa.
Sadhguru: Sarasa? I… 
I won't take that liberty (Laughs).
The first day she is walking 
from regional college of education.
It is called RCE at that time. 
It's changed now?
Interviewer (Miss Sarasa): Now RIE.
Sadhguru: Okay (Laughs).
So, regional college of education, we knew
we are getting a new English teacher.
She did not come at the beginning of the term.
She came after a month or 
two after the…started.
So we are Tenth C. Actually many times
the headmaster of the time thought 
of hacking this entire section
and throwing us into a
lake or something (Laughter).
It did not happen but many times he got the
thought (Laughs).
So, she is walking in, 
can… can I describe?
Interviewer (Miss Sarasa): 
Yeah (Laughter).
Sadhguru: I am…
I was outside with a couple of the boys.
We are just seeing, "Okay, 
who is this new teacher?"
because nobody really wants to come
into our class (Laughter).
So I remember Sarsu… sorry Saraswati 
(Laughter) sorry (Laughs),
walking this way and
in a white heavily starched 
cotton sari with some butta,
you know, like a peacock she walked
(Cheers/Applause).
Well we carefully examined her 
(Laughter) and we thought, "Oh!"
We… We discussed and, 
"Where is she coming from?
Where has she taught before?"
"No she just passed 
and she is coming."
"{_}Oh{_}! This is it (Laughter).
Can she handle us" (Laughter)?
Because she is just 
out of the college.
And then she came into the class and we were
the first class that she handled (Laughs).
And just to probably as a new teacher, I am
sure she was nervous (Laughs).
As a new teacher wanting to reach out,
she walked across the room 
and she remembers that
I was in the last table. At that time 
it was table and chairs, still so?
Speaker (Professor Y. 
Srikanth): Now it's benches.
Sadhguru: Oh! Benches.
At that time it was table and chair.
We had our own little thing 
that we could do and
so we… we wanted to do something
to disrupt her life (Laughter).
So, talking to the class she came and probably
she wanted to reach out to the last bench
and show that she is a concerned teacher.
When she came and she was facing the other
side and leaning on my table,
so I felt inspired (Laughter).
And I opened my pen and let out 
my pen on her white (Laughter)
starch sari which very
readily absorbed all of it (Laughter).
And of course she did not notice and some
of them were giggling
who are here and still
giggling (Laughter).
Then she went.
Probably somebody in the staff room would
have told her that there is a big patch of ink.
Then after in the lunch hour or after lunch
hour, post lunch hour,
I was in the classroom.
I was called to come to the staff room.
I thought one more suspension (Laughter).
Because I was…
I don't know in those two years I think I
was suspended at least six times (Laughs).
So, I went there, 
she asked me for my pen.
I gave it to her.
I thought she is going to confiscate my pen
as proof of empty pen.
Then she took out a ink bottle, filled it
and gave it back to me.
I said, "Thank you ma'am" and went back to
the class (Cheers/Applause).
That one thing made me in such a way that
I never forget… forgot that one teacher
(Laughs) (Applause).
So there are many kinds of 
moments in a school,
children should learn to relish and enjoy
all that, because they don't come back later.
Nobody treats you this fondly
once you grow a proper mustache, 
when the real one comes
(Referring to Aryadev's fake moustache).
Other kinds of things will come to life, but
they won't treat you like this.
(Laughs) Hmm?
Once the ink goes off and the real thing comes,
then they treat you differently.
You will miss it.
So right now when still the 
moustaches are handwritten,
you must enjoy the space, 
you must enjoy the fondness,
you must enjoy the
scolding.
Sometimes they pat you on the back, when it
is necessary they'll do it little harder,
little lower, (Laughter) it's okay.
