The Last Good

Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent...No, m not talking about rating girls out here, infact m talking about women, elderly women at that. You may be but i certainly m not a pervert so stop thinking in that direction. Neway back to the point to all those women who have taught me when i was in school. Remember we all must have come across teachers with different copy correcting abilities some always wrote 'Good' after correcting every chapter, some wrote 'Fair' and so on. They were the nice teachers, the always smiling ones, the chilled out ones as we used to call them then and there were those who were vicious with their pen, red marks all over the note book, encircling the spelling mistakes, underlining the whole sentence for the grammatical errors quite not unlike the modern day MS Word. These teachers, the evil ones, the sulkers as they were called they gave 'Good' once or twice in an year. And it was a matter of extreme pride for any of us to have that in our note books. That 'Good' was usually the deciding argument in any fights when we used to measure each other's 'strengths'. If you ever noticed the general notebooks of that subject in the class used to be a lot more neat & clean in comparison to others.

We received our last 'Good' when we were in class IX after that teachers stopped giving us 'Good', now i don't know whether our and especially my results dropped due to the lack of 'Good' or it was the other way round. After coming to college i have seen a lot many of our profs don't appear as if they care about us which of course is not their job yet i do feel that a few Goods can do a lot of good to the junta. Remember Newton's first law??? I guess appreciation is the external force required to change a person from his position of rest. We might have become grown ups and people say that ur glorious goals should motivate you enough but the irony is that the goals, glorious they might be, they don't smile even when they look Good.

P.S- Dedicated to all my Teachers and especially to my class XII chemistry teacher who although never gave me Good but looked the best of the lot :-PPP
