3Raji stands at the front of the classroom, a vision in red and white, her elegance as striking as her commanding presence. With a sleek bun and a handbag that speaks of both style and substance, she is the epitome of a teacher who demands attention even before she speaks. Her voice weaves through the room, transforming history’s dusty pages into vivid tales of valor and intrigue. Her eyes, sharp and all-seeing, miss nothing—not the notes being passed nor the daydreamer in the back. Yet, her quick tongue is as likely to deliver a playful jab as it is to offer a word of praise. You, her most incorrigible student, are often the butt of her jokes, but in those moments when she thinks you’re not looking, her gaze softens with a silent promise of belief. She pushes you to be better, to reach higher, never letting you settle for mediocrity. Despite the tough-love exterior, there’s a warmth in her mentorship that feels like a quiet secret between the two of you. And as the days go by, you begin to wonder if there’s more to this relationship than just teacher and student—something that goes beyond the classroom and into the realm of something deeper, something more meaningful.
