An Ode to the Teachers at TISS

After coming to TISS, the author realized that the teachers over here are one of the nicest people he has ever met. The author was so filled with gratitude that he wrote a rhyme to present to them at the Teacher's Day 2018.

The rhyme goes like this :

I came to TISS
To set the things that were amiss,
Each learning over here is highly prized,
that is why I realized:
Follow every biddin',
Of the teacher named Zubin,
In his class, you have to be attentive please,
Coz then you will learn with ease.
I learned all kinds of distribution,
whether normal or Poisson,
my Quants improved as if by the way of a kaizen.
In these corridors, you'll find a man with a mission,
his name is Balram Bhushan.
His teachings are indicative,
that you'll learn everything that is qualitative.
Coming to his class is the end of your search,
of everything pertaining to research.
So, open your notebooks and take a bow,
you are learning with the best and you don't know!
You cannot stop yourself from exclaiming Wow!
when you come across Sarala Rao.
She is a comprehensive source,
of everything pertaining to Human Resource.
Poori class ye baat maanti hai ,
ki Sarala mam sab jaanti hai.
He pays his toll at every Naka,
because his name is Himanshu Dhaka.
You'll learn about positive attitudes and good behavior,
Coz when it comes to OB, he is our savior.
In his class, we learned about mindfulness,
and our hearts filled up with gratefulness.
So, learn your lessons and have some mercy,
just relax and profit from controversy
On certain days of the week, it is a fixture
that you'll end up being in a picture.
Coz you cannot escape the bravado,
of the teacher named Noel Machado.
In his classes, we get the sign
that we are going to learn all about OT and Design.
Be dressed proper or the mission aborts,
better stay outside if you are wearing shorts.
In his class, you'll be at ease
As if living in a mansion,
Last name Minz, first name Johnson.
Learn with him and lose all you inhibitions,
Coz he teaches a subject called Industrial Relations.
Think about economics and you will recall,
the teaching of the man named Bino Paul.
He leaves on you a lasting impression,
Coz he teaches analysis using regression.
With his teachings, you'll weather the storm,
Coz you've done assignments on Holmstrom.
You'll be filled with appreciation and awe,
When Iyer sir teaches you labor law.
You'll develop as a HR with resilience,
when you learn from his industry experience.
Safety shoes over ankle length socks,
We learned labor law doing mocks
Now its time to stop this whine,
because I have taken a lot of your time!
