UF!

My dear students , I love you. but as i ponder i couldn't help these thoughts
                 Uf !!!!!!
Uf! This job of a teacher
Cumbersome and irksome
If you speak gently you are taken for a ride
And a pandemonium that you see around
If you are sterner, you see raised eye brows
Branded villain with no understanding whatsoever

Uf! This job as an invigilator
Making baddie out of a fine human
The serene expression of students
Seem to change into suspicion invoking glances.
An earnest request for answering nature’s call
Have to be permitted with apprehension .
A stretch of muscle after prolonged posture
To be looked upon as attempt to discuss answers.

Uf! This system of examination
Its intention is to test the academic potential
Alas! Certain Potential except academics is tapped
Compelling the benevolent into malevolent
The invigilator says ‘try me and you will see’
Students say ‘touch us and we will show you’
They look at him/her ‘Are you smart or are we? You, against 40 of us?

Uf ! The conflict of a teacher
A teacher cannot afford generation Gap
But the gap is already pre-installed
Both in the minds of students and teachers
Winning over is a one sided attempt
Teachers to take initiative
Students to measure the level of patience

Uf! The plight of a teacher
I am in love with my student fraternity
Though I do get reciprocation, very genuine
But they are far too less
Mine is a far cry, cause
I want to be loved
In spite of all the detest I gather
Once they step out of this phase, things get de-tested
I am certain they’ll know what I am
And will surely love me then
If not what’s there? I love them anyway
With their success, love is the winner eventually

Uf! What a paradox
I love this profession,
