MUMBAI: An animal can be trained or made to behave/learn, but knowledge is what differentiates a human being from the animals. This is where teachers play the most definitive role in the life of a person.

On the eve of Teachers’ Day, Crown Prince of Bhangra aka Jazzy B shares with his memories of his beloved teachers. The powerful Bhangra singer says, “It was all thanks to Ustadji, Kuldeep Manak, who taught me to believe in myself and feel proud about what I am. He also encouraged me to work hard since it is the main ingredient and the only mantra of success.”

Recalling his teacher memory of an ideal teacher, at Simon Cunningham elementary school, Canada he said, “I had Mrs Hamilton, who never reprimanded me for getting into troubles instead warned him about the consequences. Till date I have not forgotten her and thank her for making me the individual I am, which is why I believe that a teacher is highly respected in the society as they shape up the very character of a student and all are equal before a teacher.”

British Indian rapper, hip hop singer, playback singer Hard Kaur’s most found memory of her best teacher belongs to University of Central England where she was studying Fashion Designing. “There was Professor Bob who said - Life is here to live, so go live it and don't miss the opportunities,” recalls the ‘Move Your Body’ singer.

Versatile performer Kaur elaborates that if she would have been a teacher, she would teach the kids to be real. She states - “Real Talk and no sugarcoating is her mantra. This world is a beautiful and a really horrible place at the same time. You can make it what you like with the decisions you make.”

She adds, "Life is hard, so be a ‘Hard Core’. If life is painful so start becoming strong and if you think life is short then start enjoy every moment. Simply Hard Kaur!
