Thank you so much dear Madam. I have great respect for teachers who have devoted their life for enriching the student's life with knowledge, which is true empowerment. The students who respect and love their teachers are a rarer find. Here is an example of a great teacher and a great student.

Let us all raise a toast to all of those teachers who, over the years and decades, have made us who we are, have moulded our personalities and filled our minds with knowledge and our hearts with the finer sentiments of life. We owe them so much. Thank you again, my friend, for having ‘immortalised’ my teacher – all teachers! – through your beautiful words. I am so grateful!

Thank you, dearest Geeta, for your eloquent words on the subject of my book ‘Zenobia Mistri, Teacher Par Excellence’. Zenobia Mistri was a truly unique soul; her devotion to her students over five decades was exemplary and, through her deep love for French language and culture, proved a true ambassador for France in India. My debt to her will simply never be repaid.

An exemplary student who records the greatness of her teacher, is a rare find. You are a true example of a faithful student, full of gratitude for your learning, an ideal one, as praised in the Vedic scriptures. You are blessed Shireen.

Such a beautiful tribute to the nook which was a tribute to a teacher par excellence. Our world's society would do well to think more about our teachers- -even as far back as our kindergarten teachers- -they all pave the way to a better life if we would just choose to take it. Music, mathematician, motherhood, scientist, it doesn't matter- -we can live richer lives because of good teachers. Well written and sensitive.10+++++++++++++++++

Zenobia, their third daughter became one of the most /Renowned teachers of her time creating a powerful legacy/A celebration of beauty in language, literature and poetry. She was a committed teacher who reached out/To her students with the warmth of a generous soul…..(cont..)
