Back when I was probably in sixth grade, the movie PK had become extremely popular across the country. Everywhere people talked about it — on television, in markets, in schools, and especially among students. But children, as always, found their own version of entertainment from it.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31edBpnXfI
Anyone whose initials were "P.K." instantly became a target of teasing.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfbTu2eJwX
If somebody's name was Pankaj Kumar, Pradeep Kumar, or anything similar, students would immediately start calling them "PK" in dramatic voices and burst into laughter as if it was the funniest joke ever created. At that age, even the dumbest things felt legendary.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXrg2pf6dA
Then one day, our school introduced a new English grammar teacher.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXDTVkO2Ez
He was the vice principal's nephew.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV5DD0Mjwz
And his name was…
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5I8GjaKsy
Pravin Kumar.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDen06n9lDP
The moment students found out, the entire class practically exploded internally. Nobody dared laugh loudly in front of teachers, but the whispers, suppressed laughter, and side glances spread across classrooms within minutes.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRgbdDiEPf
But the funniest moment came later.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9PeYYQMKT
When our class routine was distributed, one line was written clearly:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD3ioIGGso
English Grammar — By PK
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeOy6Rr6xs
That single line became comedy gold for students 😭
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2r4w0W9cv
The moment everybody noticed it, laughter spread through the room again. Even I laughed. Honestly, almost everyone did.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiC0M0HPGd
But despite all the jokes, there was something strangely different about him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfAHSbkaVO
Whenever he entered the classroom, it genuinely felt like he did not belong in our small-town school at all. He didn't speak English like our other teachers. His pronunciation sounded sharp, smooth, and almost foreign. Sometimes it honestly felt as if someone had picked a teacher directly from Britain and dropped him into our classroom.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRFZlV8o6
Even the way he carried himself felt different. He looked young, confident, disciplined, and strangely serious at the same time.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsZCUos0C6
Because of that, many students secretly mocked his accent behind his back too.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeSCee0VbY
At that time, I laughed with everyone else without thinking much about it.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkOZbL7VEr
I had absolutely no idea that this same teacher would later become one of the strangest and most unforgettable memories of my school life.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxlb1PVlAi

91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8YjEPoE4m
One day, our final exam results were announced.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdWmXO8dCw
Like always, result day felt terrifying. Some students were excited, some nervous, and some were already preparing excuses in advance.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1unwp5290
My father personally went to school to collect my report card. After seeing my marks, he spoke to my class teacher and requested him to teach me and my brother at home as a tuition teacher.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nMgzjII5o
But my class teacher politely refused and explained that he already had his own coaching center and could not come to students' houses for private tuition.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rQndfYX6L
So my father asked him if he could recommend another teacher.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J16VEoWtz
The class teacher then took him to the vice principal.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx6jHExORm
And the vice principal recommended…
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pexoofrXE
PK Sir.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn87m8rRiL
The moment I heard his name, my heart almost stopped.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuHgETUKU6
Inside my head, panic immediately began.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA56Eox7y9u
Did he notice me laughing at him before?
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdOUhxVLTN
I was sitting outside the office while my father spoke with him privately. I kept imagining worst-case scenarios in my head for no reason 😭
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4PpWXQxnF
When my father finally came outside, he did not say anything at all. We quietly returned home.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaFy8jnYTh
Neither my brother nor I dared to ask questions because we were already scared about our exam marks and possible scolding.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8adkooCUb
So we simply waited silently the entire day.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcHUhiolUM
That evening, after both my parents returned from work, my father suddenly called me and my brother.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX67xWshkt3
"Come here and sit."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZtYmmWjrg
The moment he said that, both of us mentally prepared for a long lecture about studies, discipline, and poor marks 😭
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa92HqOPId
We quietly sat beside him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnROE9ZH16B
Then my father started talking about the new English teacher in our school. He explained how well he spoke English, how educated he was, and how impressive his qualifications were despite being so young.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpH0hDOgLD
Then he calmly announced:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft5peTLxC9
"He will teach both of you from now on."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lMrtbeHgn
Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked softly:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F7QHqzZGP
"Papa… what's his name?"
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFMHVqraIy
And the moment he replied:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGDQGN86Hs
"PK Sir."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88kkbcOR3O
my brother suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter so loudly that even I got startled for a second
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQpHcvhjV7
Watching him laugh made me laugh too, and somehow, for a few moments, all the fear about marks disappeared.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r1MXvcIwY
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGpQS4wwUs

91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQahXLOxT
The next day at school, PK Sir entered our classroom as usual.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3uFiqh8iX
He informed us that our regular class teacher was on sick leave, so he would handle the class for the day.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMfFeAtfO8
Then he started taking attendance.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAZ4WOM80M
Everything felt normal until he suddenly paused while reading names.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpKH6aXUld
"Who is Lily?" he asked.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAW8yVjrC5
The moment I heard my name, my heartbeat instantly increased.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OBcKTeO0Z
I slowly stood up from my seat.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmdlWegXGH
He looked directly at me for a few seconds.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0njSTLTTQ
Then he smiled slightly and simply said:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X8CjTM4bj
"Sit down."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRpMR1TJ8x
That was all.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4zavmfUyT
But inside my head, I was already imagining my funeral 😭
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiOW9AeZlP
I became completely convinced that now I had officially entered his notice forever.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNTakR3o8b
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdm2tcPsWI

91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoXitih1Ct
Our tuition classes started that very same afternoon at 3 PM.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8mkpjZTks
It was the first tuition experience of our lives, so my brother and I were both extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeowvmz97Ad
Even my father stayed home that day because he wanted to personally observe how such a young teacher taught students.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKx7EEIvD
PK Sir was probably only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFLbdEuhZw
Every afternoon, he arrived at our house on his rider bicycle 🚲
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpxdQKMTog
And somehow, even that bicycle became part of the memory.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP7auARNn6
The moment we heard the sound of the bicycle stopping near our gate, both my brother and I instantly became alert. We would quickly open our books, sit properly, and pretend we had been studying seriously for hours 😭
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWUyiZd0Fn
Sometimes we even opened random pages just to look hardworking before he entered the room.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJyMgL4uyD
For some reason, his bicycle matched his personality perfectly — simple, disciplined, and slightly intimidating.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIPGfdOr5s
When he entered for the first class, he first introduced himself properly.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgD4Jp1x88
Then my brother and I introduced ourselves too with the excitement only children can have.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJYcdjYYGA
After that, he carefully checked our report cards.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3YKsIoulC
Then he looked at both of us calmly and said:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEPiUUrWH
"You both are weak in mathematics."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uzHkoUQuz
The embarrassment at that moment felt unbearable.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUqBj3KnZX
Both of us quietly lowered our heads and stared at the floor.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo66jrW4vRv
But instead of immediately scolding us, he handed us a strict study routine.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDYpXJn0lo
Then he announced:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJqMAyvDml
"Every Saturday, I will take a test based on everything studied during the week."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1f7bsaxzK
At that moment, we obediently nodded.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkz2voVWAk
But internally, both of us were terrified.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETLtA8I9N3
For us, Saturdays stopped feeling like weekends and started feeling like court judgment days 😭
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7bfeo73Bb
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzogNpVUVp

91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN1r640n5C
Days slowly passed like this.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0WTbx78L
Sometimes our marks improved.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Yy9xe83a
Sometimes they became worse.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BfqmA73NI
PK Sir was especially strict with my brother because mathematics was extremely difficult for him. I somehow managed to survive by barely passing, but my brother constantly struggled.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiaq9z78ei
Whenever marks were low, scolding happened.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7iF03qSvG
Sometimes punishments happened too.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUV4RPjjln
But strangely, despite being strict, he was also one of those teachers whose praise felt valuable. So even while fearing him, we still wanted his approval.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmp7InQhJU
One day, after another poor test result, PK Sir looked at my brother silently for a few seconds.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4xJt12ACn
Then suddenly he looked at me and said:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBJ16yjfxE
"Slap him."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZKXvGLHf6
Normally, siblings fight all the time.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh7C3ORL1J
At home, if we argued, I could hit my brother casually without feeling emotional about it.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmVrklDboc
But that day felt completely different.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lQDayiRJs
The moment Sir ordered me to hit my own brother, something inside me suddenly broke emotionally.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELidyk5V5E
Without warning, a tear rolled down from the side of my eye.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0M05AEEde
Even today, I still cannot fully explain why that happened.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU7ubXn1E2
Maybe because hurting someone you love feels completely different when another person commands you to do it.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqbTiy71Hp
PK Sir noticed my tears.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wVr2Y4a8L
Then he smiled slightly and softly said:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xe35RIisA
"Oh… sisters' love."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgju4GqFQK
After that, he simply gave homework and left.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDnrykkHaM
But that small moment stayed in my memory for years.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOljTKdH5aw
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vKz0nRLAd
---
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzByTTeWDP1
Unfortunately, things became much worse later.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJZi51MKeQ
Another weekly test happened.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfumjADKrp
And once again, my brother received very low marks in mathematics.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lvf7sPwn2
That day, PK Sir completely lost his temper.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTQjAI2Gi1
He beat my brother badly with a stick.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWi5OVpRoO
I still remember the fear and silence in that room afterward.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXwX6KIFIm
The injuries became so painful that even his nails turned dark because blood had clotted beneath them after getting hit accidentally.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOZ1xThKun
My brother cried continuously.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHhPgd2cbF
A little later, my elder sister came to check on him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDepk7jdYW8
The moment she saw his injuries and tears, she herself started crying while applying medicine to his wounds.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHU8ek0TOQ
Then my parents returned home from work.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDVnfN1lel
The moment my mother saw my brother's condition, panic instantly appeared on her face.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYfsH2cNt4
She became especially terrified because when my brother was around two years old, he had once suffered from pneumonia, which had already left his body physically weak.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF3NE7FYLv
Soon he even developed fever.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCNsRfth3w
My mother immediately insisted that he needed a doctor.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JC0XhkhTg
That night, the atmosphere inside our house felt extremely heavy and emotional.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo23Y5XFqG4
After that incident, my father permanently stopped our tuition classes with PK Sir.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt9YoeA0mr
At that moment, my brother and I felt relieved.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TlCqUpfSm
But unfortunately, the story did not actually end there.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuucgbqh1dp
Because we still studied in the same school.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxGl2CRwgz
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABhsQITSKJ
---
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NgWB0b5Qr
That was when another strange phase began.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP5Kal05D1
My brother studied in the junior section, so he no longer had much interaction with PK Sir.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV72N5tbwJd
But I was in the senior section.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XQ33fMSF4
Which meant I could not escape him 😭
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlmT7iXDXE
Whenever homework notebooks needed collecting, he specifically called me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7inrWgyE6V
Whenever oral tests happened, he personally asked me questions.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1200B6h4M5
And the worst part was the eye contact.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB218ywsXhN
He would continue looking directly at me while asking questions until I became so nervous that I forgot answers I actually knew.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIV96NgghK
Then after I somehow answered, he would smile slightly and say:
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwLphXESE0
"Now ask questions to the class."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXS8ZPW77V
For most students, this would probably sound completely normal.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFIuxDnoY2
But for me, it felt terrifying.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6cKRyjqXQ
I was an extremely introverted girl who barely even spoke comfortably to boys in class before that.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhka5RRprxx
Yet because of him, I had to stand in front of everyone with shaking hands and ask questions to classmates while trying not to embarrass myself.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡospa4XfJqp
I still remember how nervous my voice sounded every single time.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGedlKgllS
Sometimes my hands shook while holding notebooks.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9wURa7iE4
Sometimes I forgot simple words while speaking.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuXdE0ftH9
And every time he looked at me directly, I immediately became even more nervous.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUQwNTvbaj
This strange situation continued for months.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquw5yFLDFy
Then finally, one day, my parents received a transfer order.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHiLIYlDCd
I had to leave the school completely.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqYfV1dbbr
And just like that, this strange chapter of my life quietly came to an end.
.
.
Even today, whenever I remember PK Sir, I still cannot decide what kind of memory this actually is.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEdfsB8mNc
Sometimes it feels funny.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrXunoHrX4
Sometimes embarrassing.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3QOUoxZsh
Sometimes emotional.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0ao0PSM22
Sometimes painful.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSi2laqMqe
Sometimes nostalgic.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6reiCRa7ET
And sometimes all of those feelings appear together at once.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFa77lc921
It was one of those memories that perfectly capture how chaotic school life can be — where laughter, fear, tears, embarrassment, discipline, and sibling love somehow exist together inside one single story.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VP9W2Vvpg
