The one who is not just your mentor, but also your strength at the lowest ebb of life – guru. On the occasion of Guru Purnima today, some popular personalities share how their teachers identified their inherent talents and dedicated themselves to honing the skills of their pupils. While these students often put the spotlight on their gurus, today is a tad special when they say ‘thank you’.Ya toh hum seekhte hain, ya to hum jeette hain!’
Sprinter Hima Das, who is all set to run in the 4x100m event at the upcoming Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, says her coach’s words of wisdom stay with her at all times. “Abhi jo mere coach hain, Galina (Bukharina) ma’am, aur Athletics Federation of India ke coaches, in sabse ek hi baat seekhti hoon ki kabhi zindagi mein haar nahi hoti; ya toh hum seekhte hain, ya toh hum jeette hain!” says Das.
