Our never ending school memories in GEMS

One day, I and Sanjana stopped in crossword in a big mall. Even though the crossword is a small area, it consist of a large collection. And it is the place when I spend on reading books while waiting for my friend. I am a great fan of Sherlock Holmes and went to detective section. The worlds most famous address flashed into my mind i.e. B221, Baker Street, London. I always remember my English teacher Mrs.Subhashini in school days who is the root cause for such an interest. In reality Dr. Watson may be the narrator throughout Sherlock Holmes volumes, but for our GEMS, our favorite English teacher, Subhashini is the first narrator. I still remember each and every pupil in the classroom hearing to her narration, maintaining pin drop silence, involved in following the story with everlasting enthu, eager and interest.
I still remember about myself sitting in government library reading the volumes of Sherlock Holmes after the school timings. Even though ours is a small town, it has a decent library with plenty of collections. Whenever I went to library for the book of "Complete short stories of Sherlock Holmes", it was always already with some reader. I used to wait until the other person complete and then get hold of it. That much is the interest induced by our narrator. And of-course, I am a voracious reader of short stories in my childhood. I haven't still come across such a narrator of ours who used to describe the Watson's surprised expressions for Holmes wise interpretations from available short details of the cases. Her narration is so realistic that we used to literally visualize the places where a murder or theft happened in the story. Our never ending memories are they with whom we spent in school every day.

Yes, you are right Siri... She is the best teacher we ever had. And about sherlock Holmes, she is the excellent narrator. Infact with that interest I went to the movie Sherlock Holmes in 2009 and couldnt stop thinking about Mrs Subhashini mam that how well she explained about Holmes & Watson characters.
