And this is how teaching chose me…

The first time I played a teacher was like every other girl, sometimes,  draped in Mum’s saree!! And some other times in an all white outfit, always in awe of the nuns at my school. Reality was far fetched and rosy.  Thereafter, I became a real teacher every now and then to my siblings on …
