Smile of Shri N.N.Mishra :)

N N Mishra joined Tantia High School as a Hindi Teacher in the year 1986. I think since childhood he used to wear " Safed Dhoti and Yello Silk Kurta". I challenge nobody has seen him in trouser and shirt. He is from Benaras Hindu University and a student of Krishna Bihari Mishra , Hazari Prasad Dwivedi and Acharya Ram Chandra Shukla etc. In spite of good knowledge in Hindi , he could not get a better opportunity in Kolkata , however I D Singh did not lose an opportunity to hire a Masters from University of Allahabad. N N Mishra Ji is a symbol of Benaras , always a "paan" in his mouth with a steady face. Mr. N N Mishra is the symbol of an underpaid person who is well qualified person in Hindi.

I used to study in Barabazar library whose librarian was Ramchander ji. Every body calls him Ramchander (Ram Chander) , even he himself calls his name as Ramchander . But one day , I saw N N Mishra visited Barabazar Library just near to our school and asked a peon ...( just pay attention )  ......" RAMCHANDRA HAIN ???"  wow what a classical examination of "Vishudh" pronunciation of Hindi ..... once in a life time ,somebody called Ramchander as "Ram Chandra" i.e. correct sound. So N N Mishra is the person who cannot think to pronounce something wrong in Hindi even in his dreams.

N N Mishra possesses great rapport with one of our History teachers Sri S D Dwivedi and Sri P. Tripathi. All of three belonged to the same age group. But both Dwivedi and Tripathi ji wears shirt and trouser but N N Mishra always prefer to be seen in Dhoti and Peela Silk wala Kurta.

One thing was best, his small smile ......he never laughed but has a great smile. He was a great competitor of K P Mishra , the other Hindi teacher who used to wear trousers of seventies. Like Sachin Tendulkar ( on the cricket Pitch) , K P Mishra ji alwasy used to create gaps between his two legs by just lowering himself at least thirty times in an hour. Sometimes while sitting on the chair also... ......... how  ??? please dont ask.

His pronunciation and meaning of a poetry and prose are impeccable. I saw him advising students of B.A and M.A. also with the same confidence  like teaching a student of class X. He has written some essays which he has secured by him for his retirement days. I appeal our friends that if somebody can help him to fetch fair value on publishing his materials. The favourites of N N Mishra during 1986 to 1992 were  ( which I saw him from my childish eyes) Manish Didwania, Ajay Singhi, Rama Kant Holani, Vinod Singh Rathore, Pawan Bhatia etc. Manish is one of his all time favourites. N N Mishra ji got maximum respect during that period only hence he still remembers most of the students of that period. Please god ... keep him healthy and stay fit. I heard that he is retired now.

I used to meet him after passing class X , he was not happy with the students after 1994.

will write.....if I remember some more.

R.S.Rai - Tough man History teacher

Our one of the History teachers Mr. R.S.Rai ( Ram Sapath Rai) was on the toughest teachers of our school. He never shared with us a single moment of his life. He was never informal with any student and never asked tuitions !! He was a true and royal rai Saheb. He possessed good rapport with colleagues specially with H.R.Jha and D.N.Jha. But he was very cruel with students. His favourite weapon was " Duster" , once he started , it was impossible to stop him. Once he beat a boy , he could not sleep in the night. But it did not change him. In section B of class IX and X , he used to teach history. He used to bring an old history book and used to read fastly. Students named him " 80 word / minute". Once he fell down from his chair and a student laughed ( he was his relatives , though) but he was not merciful on him and he had to pay for his smile.
His way of delivering speech in the assembly hall was very unique. From his right hand , he holds the mike and never lefts till the completion of speech. From class V to X , we were fortunate to listen him atleast ten times , but he always used to pick one revolutionery patriot of pre independance India , whose description was not available in our text books. Always, he was very agressive while speaking ...... he starts with .....Pyaare bacchon , tumne Vinayak chapekar ka naam suna hoga, wo ek mahan krantikari thaa............................. log jel jaane lage, rail ki patriyaan ukhadi jaane lagin, videshi kapade jalaye jaane lage, sarkari daftaron me aag lagayi jaane lagi.......... were common in all of his speeches. We enjoyed a lot. Once , one of the teachers told to my freind, jab bhi ham log ko nasta karna hota hai, hum Rai sahab ko hi to khojte hain ,sabse pahle nastha karenge, paisa denge aur taxi pakdenge........
In class V he was our english Grammar teacher and taught only 50 % of his times, but syllabus was completed. His way of taking attendence was also unique.... he used to get excited while taking attendence .......one , twoooo, threeeeee, for,fiveee, six,sebun, at, nine , ten, elebun, tuwelve, thirty, forty, fifty,sixty,seventy,eighty,ninety, tuwenty, ...............and so on......with a lot of pressure in his voice. In class VI .. he was our history teacher, .. the best teacher to put signature .. he never saw the last page .... just put corrections and sign.......never read the copy ... not even in examinations.......... One of my class mate... Jitendra Jain ....wrote about Maharana Pratap in the question of Shivaji in Pre test examinations , he got maximum marks for that question and he shew us , as we could see our Pre Test copies.......... God bless our teachers...... one thing was clear , he loved school and he loved India.

Lets' refresh the memories of our School, Tantia High School

Let's start to refresh our memories about our good old school with a few little things. 

The journey of every student starts from the Primary section, then Secondary and finally Higher Secondary. One may choose either Primary Morning or Primary Day before admission.  I was in Primary Morning and we had to report by 6.30 morning. I was admitted to school directly to Infant in the year1980. On the very first day , I forgot to bring my aluminium box containing school books from the school. Later on , me with my sister went to school and collected that box. So my student life started on a funny note.

One of the main peculiarities of our school is , the primary section is controlled by Lady teachers and Secondary teachers are controlled by a lot of Sir ji's ( Male teachers). Another great peculiarity , till primary section , it is a Co-Education but after fourth standard ( last class of primary section ) our girl frenz had to take vidai ( transfer) to other schools. So girls from Tantia take their first lessons of Vidai Samaroh in their school itself.  During our times, the first preference of our girl freinds was RAM MANDIR :) :) ...uhhh its not the name of the school....... the real name of the school is SETH SURAJMAL JALAN BALIKA VIDYALAYA , second preference was Shree Sikhshayatan and third was Marwari Balika Vidyalaya,. Now,what is the preference ... I have to ask a few people ??? You may update in comments !! .  Now , once we Boys just started to understand  girls chemistry we were transferred to secondary section without girls. But we got new freinds as boys from Morning primary section and Day primary section are huddled together into one class. After a few clashes , we became life long freinds..........

Now the worst peculiarity........... suddenly ....we students from English medium Primary section became the students of HINDI MEDIUM SECONDARY SCHOOL which caused a lot of problems for many students and they still suffer with Hindi mis spellings. Also , whatever we used to learn about English during primary section days , started to forget in hardcore Hindi medium secondary section.

In our times ,the school was upto class ten only i.e. Madhyamik , but now it is upto class XII....

Tantia High School : Our Golden Years (टांटिया हाई स्कूल: हमारे स्वर्णिम वर्ष )

यह ब्लॉग मेरे टांटिया हाई स्कूल के पुराने दोस्तों, इसके पुराने और नए शिक्षकों,  वर्तमान और पूर्व छात्रों को समर्पित है। मैं काफी भाग्यशाली हूं कि अधिकांश महत्वपूर्ण घटनाएं, स्कूल शिक्षकों के नाम और उनके चेहरे आज भी मेरी स्मृति में हैं। मैं टांटिया हाई स्कूल यानी अपने स्कूल के गलियारों और क्लास रूम में बिताए अपने बचपन के सुनहरे वर्षों के कुछ अविस्मरणीय क्षणों के बारे में लिखने की कोशिश कर रहा हूं। मुझे विश्वास है आप सभी को यह पसंद आएगा 

मैं भास्कर चौमल हूं , मैंने 1992 में माध्यमिक परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण की थी। मुझे अपने स्वर्णिम साल में टांटिया हाई स्कूल का पूर्व छात्र होने पर गर्व है | उन वर्षों में, हमारे स्कूल ने कक्षा 10 के लिए 100% उत्तीर्ण परिणाम प्राप्त करना शुरू कर दिया

1986 से 1995 के दौरान अधिकांश छात्रों ने हमारे महान पुराने अच्छे शिक्षकों के साथ बहुत अच्छा समय बिताया। 1996 के बाद मैं ज्यादा ट्रैक नहीं रख सका, हालाँकि मैं अक्सर स्कूल जाता था। यह अफ़सोस की बात है कि, मुझे पिछले कुछ वर्ष स्कूल जाने का अवसर नहीं मिला

खोज इंजनों में, मुझे हमारे स्कूलों, शिक्षकों और छात्रों के बारे में वर्तमान गतिविधियों और अतीत के बारे में बहुत कुछ नहीं मिला। यह हमारे स्कूल को वेब पर डालने का एक छोटा कदम है।
