It’s amazing how you stay in a college for three years, are in awe of your lecturer and not know anything about the way he actually thinks. I know this line sounds like idle rambling but there are a few people who, if they ever read this, would probably understand what I am saying. I’m taking about my HOD…..I mean I always had this image of him being the epitome of patience and this super sensible guy who was so disconnected from his surroundings that he could comment on it from an outsider’s perspective-“without being involved”. I put these words in quotes because that’s how he projected himself…..a no nonsense guy who’d not get into any personal conversation with his students for anything in the world. I just happened to read his blog and to think he’d say something like he was missing our class, the flash of images of our class on an average day, proposing a class reunion and actually talking about his frustration…..I’m just dumbfounded. I honestly thought it was impossible for Naresh to actually acknowledge the fact that he could be affected by his students. And for such a guy to write something on his blog which is open to anybody who cares to read it, I’m just over whelmed. For the first time I probably saw things his way, removed the tag of “HOD” and saw him speak like any normal guy.
So this guy, who I thought preferred to remain disconnected, actually feels so deeply about things. This obviously wouldn’t be possible if he didn’t take things personally. I just wish he were more expressive about it before. I don’t know how much of a difference it would have made but still I some how wish he had. Guess hadn’t felt so bad till date about leaving college.
There’s nothing terribly informative here…..but just had to let my thoughts out!
