Teachers:

I made this list of my favourite and least favourite teachers...

The top 10:

Krishnan sir (Chemistry)
He is truly my very favourite teacher of all time. If it weren't for him, I'd probably have not liked Chemistry at all, which meant I would have lost interest in everything, and probably be dead by now. It brings a tear to my eye when I realize he can never teach me again. Noone could teach better than Krishnan sir!

Revathi Iyer miss (English)
She knew me very well since I was the guy who didn't appear on the first day of school in her class. Though I tried to look as innocent as possible, she'd blame me for everything my friends do outside of school. I remember when me and my friends decided to go left from the Sanskrit class instead of right (when exams were going on, and we were particularly warned not to go there). Iyer remarked that it was my idea, wasn't it?
She had no objection in calling us n-letter words, as she would put it.
"One tight slap and that is the end!"
"That will be your FUNERAL!"
"Incorrible, y'all are"
"FILTH"
Her dictionary word thingy was awesome... the best day being on the last day,
Shridhar said Heart
Amogh said Heartbreak
I said Kid
Vasundhara said "influenza" as in the whole class had an influenza of wrestling or something
Ashwin said Kane (with a K and not C) and argued with Iyer that it was a proper word
Vijay said Curt
Sudarshan said Angle
Baba said "incorrigible"
Fun times, fun times!
And she returned in 10th to teach E-conomics.... which she taught in a way that only she could. She'd give us random useless facts just to keep us informed. lol
I was very sad when Saraswathi Miss told me she was leaving the school... I went to her on the first day of Board exams and personally thanked her for teaching me more Economics than anyone else could teach me History/Civics/Geography/Disaster Management. :'(

Prabhakaran sir (Sanskrit)
If I didn't have him as my Sanskrit teacher, I'd have probably had 2 things in my life

1) Mastered Sanskrit left, right and centre
2) Wouldn't have had any fun or free time

I preferred the latter. Only he can make Mahabharata stories interesting. Once or twice, he'll get mad, but I've never got caught by him on my own, cause he thinks it's my friends who influence me to do mischief. And to think, I would write all the lessons 5 times if he had asked!!! Plus, nothing beats Prabhakaran sir telling all the Sanskrit he knows backwards in front of girls.
And his usual favourite quote: Yo Po Ya...
Besides, without him, our 10th excursion wouldn't have been half as good.
Memorable memory: "Maduresh or someone: Sir do you know that we are in (some place like Ahmedabad)
Sir: Enna baadu?

Kamakshi miss (English)
What can I say? I was her top student... she even called me the only "gentleman" in my class just like Phileas Fogg :) She took English for me in 5th and 6th. Plus I was the student who got the highest stars in her system of star charts... and I was also the one who had to go to Viji miss and get the charts back.

Vasanthakumari miss (Science)
She was one of the best Science teachers ever. It was in her time that I developed a liking for Chemistry specifically, but due to an other teacher I soon lost it. She was very kind and understanding. Best was when she divided us into groups for revision for exam and quizzed us.

Ramamurthi sir (C++)
He's the best C++ teacher... EVER!

The value!

Write a program!

Equivalent!

IS!

Please understand THIS!

Lakshmi miss (English)
Adding to the list of my fav. teachers is yet another English teacher. LS is an awesome English teacher. Only LS can take 15 classes a week and show up for only 5 and actually teach the lesson in only one. She'll go off tangentially to any given topic... if the lesson is about the Spirit of Science, she'll start discussing about every damn thing apart from Science. I always laugh when she says "Everybody"! :D

Meenakshi miss (English)
She was an awesome teacher who would appreciate creativity. It was in her class that my essays used to run wild! But sadly, it was in her class also, at about 10 ppl got 10 blackmarks. She was practically the only worthwhile teacher in my 8th.

Latha miss (English)
Though she may not have let us have any fun, she was definitely the best English teacher who could teach us. No teacher I know has the dedication to teaching more than LB. I will never forget the times she used to come to the last bench to see what I was writing, with Arjun on my left laughing his head off and Shrids on the right trying to supress his laughter. Ofcourse, noone would've prepared us for the boards as much as LB.

Sarumathy miss (Maths)
"Look heeeeeeere" "Listen heeeeeeere"
"Gut mornink"
"Told already"
"Viknesh"
She was a great Maths teacher who made me like Maths after I hated it in my 8th.

Kalyani miss (English)
She was my English teacher in 2nd std. She made English so fun when I was just 6-7 years, which made English my permanent favourite subject in school.

Special mention:

Mala miss (Science)
She was my first ever Science teacher... she used to make us close our eyes and said she has eyes behind her back which she uses to see if we are opening our eyes... pretty much superb
Science teacher, if you can call Science a subject in 1st std.

UV (Maths):
Just for the sake of being so good in our excursion.

The Worst:

Shylaja miss (Maths)
She made me hate Maths. I got 55 in Maths in my 8th std.

Indira miss (Physics)
She made me hate Physics.

Seetha Ganeshan miss (Chemistry)
She made me lose all the like for Chemistry I developed in 7th.

Kunjlata miss (Social Science)
I don't think she knows anybody apart from me and Vijay. Whatever happens in our class, only both of us will get shouted at. She's a reminder why I hate Social Science.

Anandavalli miss (Chemistry)
Ippo Chemistry illa Andi a potta, philosophy will end where Chemistry starts.
Konja geveni... Andi is the absolute worst Chemistry teacher in PS. The only thing I can say good is you can OB adichify in her periods.

Special Mention: Lab assistant Jaya
