I'm sure that on entering high school, you had some favourite teachers whom you would go for advice on the relevant subject, or any school-related problems.
I have one, and he taught me English in 8th grade. I used to go to his tuitions, and occasionally he came to our class as substitute teacher. Sir Triranjan Dutt was a marvellous person and a good human being. Often touted as the most interesting bachelor at our school, he had strong grasp on his subject. His language flowed without any obstruction, flawlessly and students in his class listened with rapt attention. We didn't have any idea how time flew by.
However after passing out of high school and entering college, in 2012 I heard about his passing. He was only 37, but due to a fatal pancreatic disease, the docs couldn't save him. The school mourned his loss, many shed tears and I was devastated by the news. I still miss him, all who knew him do.
Today is his birthday, and I hope his soul rests in peace.

I see.A teacher's passing could be very sad if an unfortunate day comes. Both our teachers are missed, aren't they?

Yes all students of our school, even those who didn't know him that well mourned his loss. He was a great teacher and an even better person. We all have teachers in life with whom we share a special teacher-student relationship. What did your teacher teach at school?

They are, aren't they? Sometimes teachers influence the behavior of students permanently. He was one such teacher. I'll never forget him in life. Thanks for responding.

we all have one I guess. And yeah, it's a pretty young age to die. That's why everyone was so shocked on hearing the tragic news.

Very sad that such a good person and a teacher pass away at such young age. Truly speaking I don't exactly miss any of my teachers but some of them I remember occasionally, mainly my Sanskrit teacher.
