The year 2020, is what we all wanted to unsubscribe but none of us could. It was a year of uncertainties that caught all of us off-guard. Like my yearly tradition for my blog, I thought to record this episode, to sum up, Socialmaharaj on social media.  I wasn't too active here, but that's something I'll improve in 2021.

To put it in simple words “Gadi wala aaya ghar se kachra nikal” translates to “Vehicle has come, get the garbage out of your house”. Now, when I was in Lucknow last week at my grandparent’s place, I heard this song “Gadi wala aaya ghar se kachra nikal” being played on a loudspeaker. I first thought it was some ad on the radio, but that kept on playing for a good hour or so. The next day when I went out to see what this was exactly and was surprised to see this.

On the occasion of Teacher's Day in India, this is a special episode where I talk about my journey as a student. Sharing memories of my childhood days to post graduation. The places I moved, the schools I changed, the friends I made and the teachers I met. The post highlights the fact that no matter how much things change, the only constant are teachers. 

Here's wishing all the teachers a very Happy Teacher's Day :)
