My friend’s dad, who was a Principal in one of the Matriculation Schools in Chennai has been awarded the ‘National Award for the Best Teacher of the year (2005)’. He was the only principal selected among the 3500 Matriculation schools in Tamil Nadu. It is equivalent to ‘Bharat Ratna’ in his profession. What a honour that was. When my friend sent me this photo of him receiving the award from our President on the Teacher’s day (5th September), I couldn’t help feeling proud of having met and interacted with him. Hats off to you Sir!

That is a great news and you should be proud and happy on hearing this. I could imagine how proud it should have been for your friend and his family to see the head of the family receiving such a prestigous award. I understand that hardwork never fails.
