If one were to look back into that most defining moments of one's life, it has mostly to do with a mentor or a guide: someone who taught one to reach for the stars and put the wind beneath our wings. That special mentor...that teacher is the person whom we remember on Teachers' Day, a day which is also the birth anniversary of Dr Radhakrishnan, former President and teacher exemplar.

There is also another thing when it comes to us Goenkans ...that we remember revere our Teachers not only on a special day but every single day. We remember them as those who made us believe in ourselves and showed us how we could reach beyond ourselves and be the best we could ever be.
