After a long time finally I visited my native place Dhrangadhra for couple of hours. On last Saturday i.e. 22nd May, 2010 I went with my mom to deal with Vikas, working as a inventory manager for renting him our flat.
With great enthusiasm and feelings I wake up at 5 in the morning and made my self prepared by 6:15 and reached to the Naherunagar Bus stop. With heavy rush during vacation and marriage session, we made a entry in the bus around 8.
It took 1 hour more to reach Dhg as we got the bus via Surendranagar and reached there at 11:30 noon. In a dry, windy, hot day having 47 degree temperature made me exhausted.
Everything was changed a lot. From roads to the colors of building and little new development of infrastructure but the people were not changed. I found same people with same feelings.
On that day, I remembered my favorite teacher Mr. J.R.Bhatt too much. It is now four years since he passed away. It was the best learning time I had ever during his tuition class. The pleasant, simple and humorous learning environments with the best quality of teaching were few exceptions things about him.
His unique style of teaching and simplest way of teaching made my learning so easy. I still remember his common language English grammar tricks. He always says that teachers should teach “From Know to unknown”. Every unknown/new thing can be taught by starting from the known things.
He never liked anybody watching watch. He got disturbed if he found anyone watching clock. Nobody can believe that the best English teacher was not an English teacher by his wish. His main subject was Sanskrit and he was event better than best in Sanskrit grammar. English teacher vacancy n the school forced him to start teaching English and rest is the history.
It was a time of KBC and I remembered the call from Bhatt sir asking a SSC student to help on “Phone a Friend” lifeline. I was in 8th and just 2 months of tuition with Bhatt sir got the call like this. He was very angry on the entire dullest batch of SS students and asked him to call me. “My father always ___________ newspaper”. (reads)…
Few his way of teaching…
- Jamadya pachhi Tiffin na hoy. (When you have written “did”, verb must be in first tence only)
- Straight Bat.. (ppt of veb with ed at the end).
- IAU rule. sing, sang, sung
My words are too poor to describe his teaching style and simplicity.
Thanks Bhatt sir for everything!!!!
It was a full running day of memories and traveling of aground than 300 km.
On behalf of all the students of yours’
Parikh
