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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWRxjWQ30I
Anyone whose initials were "P.K." instantly became a target of teasing.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X4zveNGgB
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOENHWVRoU
Then one day, our school introduced a new English grammar teacher.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTKURNHGTy
He was the vice principal's nephew.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70AtRdK1Bz
And his name was…
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQC6UPOxQ0
Pravin Kumar.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJWzoNlZo2
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj64wZLHXXJ
But the funniest moment came later.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAbEV6MGNC
When our class routine was distributed, one line was written clearly:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Ium5p5Gv
English Grammar — By PK
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJUJuRHOoE
That single line became comedy gold for students 😭
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqNEl07qd3
The moment everybody noticed it, laughter spread through the room again. Even I laughed. Honestly, almost everyone did.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zI2w2FEe9
But despite all the jokes, there was something strangely different about him.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KMyIzU6aj
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjyZGAziZW
Even the way he carried himself felt different. He looked young, confident, disciplined, and strangely serious at the same time.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo1ScVFkx0
Because of that, many students secretly mocked his accent behind his back too.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPIAuNFZ0F
At that time, I laughed with everyone else without thinking much about it.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZn5zbLKrX
I had absolutely no idea that this same teacher would later become one of the strangest and most unforgettable memories of my school life.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNzOxSAe8v

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡradAvPIiHi
One day, our final exam results were announced.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix5okHONUq
Like always, result day felt terrifying. Some students were excited, some nervous, and some were already preparing excuses in advance.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhiEQTYaKi
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT0RR7CYcG
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57D5Qx5Yu8
So my father asked him if he could recommend another teacher.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11btsMz0Kb
The class teacher then took him to the vice principal.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaneBXbDx3l
And the vice principal recommended…
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYONfCwYbl
PK Sir.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oxkDvanbw
The moment I heard his name, my heart almost stopped.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0ZiiPH66
Inside my head, panic immediately began.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6jbT7wnNv
Did he notice me laughing at him before?
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKt1FxfdT9
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 😭
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6wWgFRKaD
When my father finally came outside, he did not say anything at all. We quietly returned home.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pbbq0chjw
Neither my brother nor I dared to ask questions because we were already scared about our exam marks and possible scolding.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5uRulDJBT
So we simply waited silently the entire day.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbMNsilYLT
That evening, after both my parents returned from work, my father suddenly called me and my brother.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aFCR8AMSA
"Come here and sit."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuhp2isRFt
The moment he said that, both of us mentally prepared for a long lecture about studies, discipline, and poor marks 😭
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwhDe2ZthX
We quietly sat beside him.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnwrW55SIk
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2XngqRvQ3
Then he calmly announced:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GY7QrXnDk
"He will teach both of you from now on."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLzCwpjNJc
Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked softly:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2jyHTiZuX
"Papa… what's his name?"
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ZLBoq6n3
And the moment he replied:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQesPhCJcXR
"PK Sir."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJiO7SAptW
my brother suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter so loudly that even I got startled for a second
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x817bWBIC
Watching him laugh made me laugh too, and somehow, for a few moments, all the fear about marks disappeared.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlfTjr1dQ2
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XioVzQOIz

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvVRwD9IE2
The next day at school, PK Sir entered our classroom as usual.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqoQ1Ah3Or
He informed us that our regular class teacher was on sick leave, so he would handle the class for the day.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi0Mn4iEGY
Then he started taking attendance.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrdepxOvdp
Everything felt normal until he suddenly paused while reading names.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mQoCkO7wa
"Who is Lily?" he asked.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog2Wk6SyWn
The moment I heard my name, my heartbeat instantly increased.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7WRBdkvbr
I slowly stood up from my seat.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzyEzKBO3x
He looked directly at me for a few seconds.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDziLT4gU0
Then he smiled slightly and simply said:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5pPfHiNTI
"Sit down."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTRM0crk4P
That was all.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ550ai8ZA6O
But inside my head, I was already imagining my funeral 😭
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwoujQC1PP
I became completely convinced that now I had officially entered his notice forever.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3EVAB0tTy
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdwfWtn7Tf

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHDvaC0PBP
Our tuition classes started that very same afternoon at 3 PM.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGlLVY2x49
It was the first tuition experience of our lives, so my brother and I were both extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADLkIwCe0d
Even my father stayed home that day because he wanted to personally observe how such a young teacher taught students.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusOiVgaeVw
PK Sir was probably only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEVlaAd9mR
Every afternoon, he arrived at our house on his rider bicycle 🚲
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kggi8cLFk
And somehow, even that bicycle became part of the memory.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyhV2BPrkJ
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 😭
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G34EMTIZB
Sometimes we even opened random pages just to look hardworking before he entered the room.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtm2nkDMoq
For some reason, his bicycle matched his personality perfectly — simple, disciplined, and slightly intimidating.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nghZGbNdv
When he entered for the first class, he first introduced himself properly.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6dq5CVCLx
Then my brother and I introduced ourselves too with the excitement only children can have.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ399NUhxYMJ
After that, he carefully checked our report cards.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKKPpdIFXv
Then he looked at both of us calmly and said:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrqt3DIjaW
"You both are weak in mathematics."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa6uroHJeY
The embarrassment at that moment felt unbearable.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6tfDu9LoJ
Both of us quietly lowered our heads and stared at the floor.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lq2Ro1RkA
But instead of immediately scolding us, he handed us a strict study routine.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTx8zc6kUl
Then he announced:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW7cOCdOkr
"Every Saturday, I will take a test based on everything studied during the week."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbRzd3BlV5
At that moment, we obediently nodded.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTFfIRsYEP
But internally, both of us were terrified.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxeOPNoeWi
For us, Saturdays stopped feeling like weekends and started feeling like court judgment days 😭
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQyOijS2zU
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ImJ30QbU9

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyV60wIiQT
Days slowly passed like this.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrglcnumiK
Sometimes our marks improved.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu7lUgVgGV
Sometimes they became worse.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6V0dlOet3
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiguYYzvII
Whenever marks were low, scolding happened.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdbpyt9h1W
Sometimes punishments happened too.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4hPGePuUY
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1G0tP6gt
One day, after another poor test result, PK Sir looked at my brother silently for a few seconds.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W0ZlI62ek
Then suddenly he looked at me and said:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhgYspH6Cw
"Slap him."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpAuYdZN9m
Normally, siblings fight all the time.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0fgfBquHS
At home, if we argued, I could hit my brother casually without feeling emotional about it.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIpDbUNLzJ
But that day felt completely different.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC9iLuuTgy
The moment Sir ordered me to hit my own brother, something inside me suddenly broke emotionally.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcQBlZINqZ
Without warning, a tear rolled down from the side of my eye.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZCiCsZWFW
Even today, I still cannot fully explain why that happened.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT8X5H9oVg
Maybe because hurting someone you love feels completely different when another person commands you to do it.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtrIdD7BTN
PK Sir noticed my tears.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59hJHGwHGu
Then he smiled slightly and softly said:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsfgGfuKXG
"Oh… sisters' love."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHGuKUhJTD
After that, he simply gave homework and left.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve0lyapMns
But that small moment stayed in my memory for years.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUA7JktyQ8
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mJCIBGgwZ
---
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xe6PybBDQ
Unfortunately, things became much worse later.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fz61bCIB7
Another weekly test happened.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Hp31TfFU
And once again, my brother received very low marks in mathematics.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqieqIsfhs
That day, PK Sir completely lost his temper.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgmP5Kw1cN
He beat my brother badly with a stick.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIfn78KuxU
I still remember the fear and silence in that room afterward.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Dhqv2GwI
The injuries became so painful that even his nails turned dark because blood had clotted beneath them after getting hit accidentally.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5edFYoHoxa
My brother cried continuously.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6xqLtu1Cc
A little later, my elder sister came to check on him.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKXMPzpOmn
The moment she saw his injuries and tears, she herself started crying while applying medicine to his wounds.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ1ddFXRFp
Then my parents returned home from work.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw81iihjP9
The moment my mother saw my brother's condition, panic instantly appeared on her face.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4laUaaXvrA
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJsj9CKQFl
Soon he even developed fever.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2kSiRa3Aq
My mother immediately insisted that he needed a doctor.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErsRo4JUvp
That night, the atmosphere inside our house felt extremely heavy and emotional.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoCx1lsSrY
After that incident, my father permanently stopped our tuition classes with PK Sir.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGZtb2yAdw
At that moment, my brother and I felt relieved.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CaZHKZ5sF
But unfortunately, the story did not actually end there.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhmGpr6MYu
Because we still studied in the same school.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwmLPI1PAl
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRCcVcpBn5
---
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9BkE7Fadr
That was when another strange phase began.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUCCfT01a6
My brother studied in the junior section, so he no longer had much interaction with PK Sir.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlj5dDKEZU
But I was in the senior section.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxHT1d6Qrr
Which meant I could not escape him 😭
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs5aZZzF78
Whenever homework notebooks needed collecting, he specifically called me.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYqlnjYTaG
Whenever oral tests happened, he personally asked me questions.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmhSFJkM64
And the worst part was the eye contact.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNnS96SBOy
He would continue looking directly at me while asking questions until I became so nervous that I forgot answers I actually knew.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoA5kBUcbB
Then after I somehow answered, he would smile slightly and say:
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYQb6r4Pff
"Now ask questions to the class."
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVYTeKvu6g
For most students, this would probably sound completely normal.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKn0ugut0D
But for me, it felt terrifying.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYXlYh0aEO
I was an extremely introverted girl who barely even spoke comfortably to boys in class before that.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjMhhxwrZo
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BHW1vaxwE
I still remember how nervous my voice sounded every single time.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWdsULfgu5
Sometimes my hands shook while holding notebooks.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40F3vbi78P
Sometimes I forgot simple words while speaking.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi4aiYeokv
And every time he looked at me directly, I immediately became even more nervous.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMgJuaoVz0
This strange situation continued for months.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPWOZNk8a7
Then finally, one day, my parents received a transfer order.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbMydc04pJ
I had to leave the school completely.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxL4IOArQQ
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjNO97YgC3
Sometimes it feels funny.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnXFsOiPeh
Sometimes embarrassing.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnNnwduAsp
Sometimes emotional.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFVN4SSgsP
Sometimes painful.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0os3Vo4Y1
Sometimes nostalgic.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreIA2kmZT0
And sometimes all of those feelings appear together at once.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyh9TC6ZWk
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.
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcbm5OHCiT
