"There are no ugly women; there are only women who do not know how to look pretty."
I've always felt how true the statement is! Throughout my growing years, I've traveled a lot and seen women from all the cultures, places, races and ethnicity, and meeting these women only made me feel proud of being a girl. I admired them for all they were, especially my teachers on how they taught us, spoke to us, their handwriting, their amazing way of draping a saree and then accessorizing their attire with lovely gold earrings and bangles. It was always a fun to notice their work outfit and I think we all have grown up doing that, haven't we?
Today, I'd like to talk about one school teacher of mine, who I've always admired a lot. She used to teach us "Civics" and "Hindi" and I had a pleasure to be her student for 3 years in school.
For her age (which I believe was around 25-26 years at that time!), she was extremely learned and what intrigued me most about her, was her way of bonding with the students. At one time she'd become your friend, keeping a hand on your shoulder and chitchatting with you just to discuss your problems and giving the brilliant solutions in a jiffy. Another time, she'd be strictly staring at you just because you forgot to bring your homework.
Because of my dad's transfer I had to change my school and I wasn't very comfortable in the new surroundings. Depression got over me and I started loosing focus from everything. It was my this favorite teacher, who actually helped me get my confidence back and move ahead. She taught me to stop comparing myself to others and just try to achieve excellence in whatever I do. In her own words -
"Your competition should just be with yourself and no one else!"

Apart from admiring her brilliance, what I admired the most was how she used to dress up. She was slim, tall and had sharp features. Her salwar-suits were of a design I've never seen anyone else wearing so far. May be it was her own design, as all of her suits were stitched in almost similar patterns. And for jewelry she used to wear beautiful gold studs on her ears and a spiral gold ring on her index finger.
