Thinking of school is like a warm hug to the heart. I remember all my teachers from the years in Sankara. I wish to convey to the young generation that "Education is not only through the books, the exams and the grades. It is also in every moment a child spends at school, home and other places."

I have the honour of having 16-17 members of my family studying (current and alumni) in Sankara! My children too did a part of their education in Sankara. All my teachers were special and were a source of inspiration to me and enabled me to be what I am today. Every value that I hold today is guided by what I learnt at school.

My parents wanted to find a school which would not only give me an education but also imbue me with traditional values. I had the privilege of being part of many extra-curricular activities, to name a few—sports, Interact club, arts, project work beyond academics, alumni activities. From being a player to becoming the house captain has been the foundation of my leadership skills.

I liked the ambience of the school and have many memories of the wonderful teachers. The school had respect for the individual and believed that they could make us bigger and better.

Once a Sankarite always a Sankarite. I can remember many teachers who have inspired me in little ways throughout my school life. There is always something happening at Sankara—debates, sports, music, art, etc., that could shape you better than any textbook and help you identify who you are.

I attribute my present-day success to my school and teachers. My father chose Sankara over PS Secondary School because he said culture and values are very important and I will get that here. Looking back I think he made the right choice. Sankara is a special place with special teachers, please make the best use of your time while there.

My father was quite a visionary and he selected Sankara for me when we moved to Thiruvanmiyur. I am sure he had his reasons, and it worked out well for me! The school was a safe and friendly environment. It is built on our traditional Indian values and it is like a large family. This is a nice positive phase of life that I remember fondly.

It is always a pleasure to talk about my school. It gives me special feeling to be an alumnus of the school and also a teacher. I feel comfortable in here, because I have a sense of belonging. It is like a second home to me because I spend most of my time here. It is not just a workplace, but something beyond that as there is always a special bond.

I am one of the few from our batch to enter and stay in the field of education and owe a lot to Sankara for this.
