What if a
1st standard student falls in love with his class teacher??
I was reading a short story on it and I realized 'god!! I mean how would one handle such a situation?' A grown-up also cannot handle such situation well and this small child...How would he? What to tell him when he says "I don't want to go to the next class and don't want to have a new teacher?" When one day he comes from school and tells his mother, "Preeti ma'am wore a red Sari today. She always gives me a star for good handwriting. She gave me a kiss today on my cheek". When every day he gives a deeply observed description of hers to his mother then what to do? Just laugh at it or become fearful of his future heartbreak- the very first love bond he had made in the outside world can break any day? The whole day that little kid spends with her that you can't take the teacher out of his mind! I guess because children understand love, not the feeling of 'not-meant to be'! How to make them know that love can also be dangerous? Alas, such a naive age!

In the mid
of today’s ‘I like you and break –up’ expressions, we don’t realise this form
of love – tender, fresh, pure love; the heart that only knows love… Which has
no confession and no break-up. It starts
with offering the favourite food which his mom gave that day, to his beloved
teacher, with the expectation of just a smile from her in return!
If any day
you lose faith in love, just go and experience the love of a child and he will
reestablish your faith.
In fact, all of us have been through it!

Were you
that child too, once upon a time?
