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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVNl1nw2wE
Anyone whose initials were "P.K." instantly became a target of teasing.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfGvTYGVgk
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOAwB0VKHJ
Then one day, our school introduced a new English grammar teacher.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtmVa5NoHK
He was the vice principal's nephew.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN248SSmAu0
And his name was…
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94SD37dzcd
Pravin Kumar.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNRAEXIIQQ
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92N1cLin5i
But the funniest moment came later.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6gbITifK0
When our class routine was distributed, one line was written clearly:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvp6N4hOKX
English Grammar — By PK
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcAASpujiu
That single line became comedy gold for students 😭
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4piTcHbP0o
The moment everybody noticed it, laughter spread through the room again. Even I laughed. Honestly, almost everyone did.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1PDDn1TYC
But despite all the jokes, there was something strangely different about him.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsu5w70GPs
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPIXBeHAvO
Even the way he carried himself felt different. He looked young, confident, disciplined, and strangely serious at the same time.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVZVzWIiG0
Because of that, many students secretly mocked his accent behind his back too.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV20yKIyqYW
At that time, I laughed with everyone else without thinking much about it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6fzX41qb
I had absolutely no idea that this same teacher would later become one of the strangest and most unforgettable memories of my school life.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoTNPyeQIP

92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrDOcQHJCT
One day, our final exam results were announced.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHcc8OAmL2
Like always, result day felt terrifying. Some students were excited, some nervous, and some were already preparing excuses in advance.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgkevsnyri
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSh3R1I6hy
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDA7O0a8Xd
So my father asked him if he could recommend another teacher.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpjlgIHSUs
The class teacher then took him to the vice principal.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPajaAStWow
And the vice principal recommended…
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78hlqDnIRt
PK Sir.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZJY7awam2
The moment I heard his name, my heart almost stopped.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZahOC7uHZz
Inside my head, panic immediately began.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRNj4uyop
Did he notice me laughing at him before?
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxMYHvZDt7
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 😭
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisuVvuEhnG
When my father finally came outside, he did not say anything at all. We quietly returned home.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUYdxkzsGW
Neither my brother nor I dared to ask questions because we were already scared about our exam marks and possible scolding.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvOxvcNjzy
So we simply waited silently the entire day.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZHBvnq3JL
That evening, after both my parents returned from work, my father suddenly called me and my brother.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBIYls9y7r
"Come here and sit."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9qT2CHLkH
The moment he said that, both of us mentally prepared for a long lecture about studies, discipline, and poor marks 😭
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXd1KJlOE
We quietly sat beside him.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOWtIzATjt
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWJs3o50DI
Then he calmly announced:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBZ4ynM05w
"He will teach both of you from now on."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLTto7pGfg
Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked softly:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxV1yt3PoQ
"Papa… what's his name?"
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngX4VwYHyA
And the moment he replied:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehLjcUQXJg
"PK Sir."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCGM5Q6GGa
my brother suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter so loudly that even I got startled for a second
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAngAStFfS4
Watching him laugh made me laugh too, and somehow, for a few moments, all the fear about marks disappeared.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2c05RO8E1
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiunyFGQbb2

92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Omo0IlwK
The next day at school, PK Sir entered our classroom as usual.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqaxHEycgA
He informed us that our regular class teacher was on sick leave, so he would handle the class for the day.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvZjhxiKWy
Then he started taking attendance.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62endTcA6
Everything felt normal until he suddenly paused while reading names.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp9QB6J3e2
"Who is Lily?" he asked.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPS5wQ96B9
The moment I heard my name, my heartbeat instantly increased.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOAUOM6u6s
I slowly stood up from my seat.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XKYO32SkH
He looked directly at me for a few seconds.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlOdjf7vIY
Then he smiled slightly and simply said:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3tsAIEz68
"Sit down."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CaksTaQ0j
That was all.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLLsiXSEEW
But inside my head, I was already imagining my funeral 😭
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0w841C0Gu
I became completely convinced that now I had officially entered his notice forever.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oi6n2uG9I
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe5t1gzUQn

92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndsmMEDSoV
Our tuition classes started that very same afternoon at 3 PM.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgiopehmyV
It was the first tuition experience of our lives, so my brother and I were both extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwB4VQNcci
Even my father stayed home that day because he wanted to personally observe how such a young teacher taught students.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaosRDIv7h
PK Sir was probably only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkecsf9xIuU
Every afternoon, he arrived at our house on his rider bicycle 🚲
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuHLkpT1Un
And somehow, even that bicycle became part of the memory.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsm4x8SVKl
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 😭
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLYSvODpoi
Sometimes we even opened random pages just to look hardworking before he entered the room.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJKHQhDOtw
For some reason, his bicycle matched his personality perfectly — simple, disciplined, and slightly intimidating.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7nHBt3gYC
When he entered for the first class, he first introduced himself properly.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4QjHE4qyd
Then my brother and I introduced ourselves too with the excitement only children can have.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37gZxcFB44
After that, he carefully checked our report cards.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORImDJiC3C
Then he looked at both of us calmly and said:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXfl9x8dFo
"You both are weak in mathematics."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ22TaJDHrp
The embarrassment at that moment felt unbearable.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQoIPfAhx4
Both of us quietly lowered our heads and stared at the floor.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4LH9aVDwT
But instead of immediately scolding us, he handed us a strict study routine.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrubcCH1Blq
Then he announced:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7PuqzTTVD
"Every Saturday, I will take a test based on everything studied during the week."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo3NePaXyO
At that moment, we obediently nodded.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MpTWsEuho
But internally, both of us were terrified.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFeRAaCsvc
For us, Saturdays stopped feeling like weekends and started feeling like court judgment days 😭
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ384KzGj6CD
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXa4tbGYBc

92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3aHGTjnjB
Days slowly passed like this.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WZWPwguX7
Sometimes our marks improved.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUIKrcOGiq
Sometimes they became worse.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmHGMVpRRv
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9vnRT98Iw
Whenever marks were low, scolding happened.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6zrOf0fgy
Sometimes punishments happened too.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmljAuzowmm
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJUO0KSEGC
One day, after another poor test result, PK Sir looked at my brother silently for a few seconds.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1GsDgxfNr
Then suddenly he looked at me and said:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhlVQ4UfO
"Slap him."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iOpeUTYjo
Normally, siblings fight all the time.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqNoQRhNOW
At home, if we argued, I could hit my brother casually without feeling emotional about it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzNaY8CvXG
But that day felt completely different.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25UOIFwmla
The moment Sir ordered me to hit my own brother, something inside me suddenly broke emotionally.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPm78mKox6
Without warning, a tear rolled down from the side of my eye.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV5KlKif9W
Even today, I still cannot fully explain why that happened.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeGAGLblqb
Maybe because hurting someone you love feels completely different when another person commands you to do it.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72rAmJABHK
PK Sir noticed my tears.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHMOq9NmCT
Then he smiled slightly and softly said:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRAorccff2
"Oh… sisters' love."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXsi6cXHmA
After that, he simply gave homework and left.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk7WySU21Z
But that small moment stayed in my memory for years.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWglbokexy
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDJ2vPXLdX
---
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GzQ6UHKQw
Unfortunately, things became much worse later.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTSOxDfjXG
Another weekly test happened.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgQ1uuKN7a
And once again, my brother received very low marks in mathematics.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUx5Qk1Wr7
That day, PK Sir completely lost his temper.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8TvvN4LAb
He beat my brother badly with a stick.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl6v9CuLHL
I still remember the fear and silence in that room afterward.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PzHb4z2Cb
The injuries became so painful that even his nails turned dark because blood had clotted beneath them after getting hit accidentally.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrpb8suYqD
My brother cried continuously.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiSGQbp4G3
A little later, my elder sister came to check on him.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IFApG5Cul
The moment she saw his injuries and tears, she herself started crying while applying medicine to his wounds.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ARir74kb
Then my parents returned home from work.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOo6kCS2WS
The moment my mother saw my brother's condition, panic instantly appeared on her face.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VzEVHpGLZ
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvJaZf2ufl
Soon he even developed fever.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLsF4dC7VL
My mother immediately insisted that he needed a doctor.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrnqmGHCgi
That night, the atmosphere inside our house felt extremely heavy and emotional.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5FC77g9ab
After that incident, my father permanently stopped our tuition classes with PK Sir.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZYevkrtcE
At that moment, my brother and I felt relieved.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmsGbYJ05f
But unfortunately, the story did not actually end there.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0D9jx2hKW
Because we still studied in the same school.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRcubQQBDA
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV5DqOaqV7
---
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSgjy4oBo1
That was when another strange phase began.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ReHgbDkti
My brother studied in the junior section, so he no longer had much interaction with PK Sir.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PraUyd55d
But I was in the senior section.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQqB67Mye
Which meant I could not escape him 😭
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS3p4j9h2R
Whenever homework notebooks needed collecting, he specifically called me.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw0VMV5LcC
Whenever oral tests happened, he personally asked me questions.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDwt3lZUL
And the worst part was the eye contact.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLA0gCmsuH
He would continue looking directly at me while asking questions until I became so nervous that I forgot answers I actually knew.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO7oM1IxHJ
Then after I somehow answered, he would smile slightly and say:
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡextgSFhGsS
"Now ask questions to the class."
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYy0YfTc3q
For most students, this would probably sound completely normal.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70b02gP98s
But for me, it felt terrifying.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXLxHiIj57
I was an extremely introverted girl who barely even spoke comfortably to boys in class before that.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPQjorfnBw
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bkqi4f0us
I still remember how nervous my voice sounded every single time.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AOvSDfpkQ
Sometimes my hands shook while holding notebooks.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMBRYhKPdJ
Sometimes I forgot simple words while speaking.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkOp5CrybM
And every time he looked at me directly, I immediately became even more nervous.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDo0gH0hx2
This strange situation continued for months.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPKrLCh1vU
Then finally, one day, my parents received a transfer order.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFSFSF1sGm
I had to leave the school completely.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzNmTfamHc
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNznwcq3e51
Sometimes it feels funny.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmAZAc3zBZ
Sometimes embarrassing.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42lQ0olQ7j
Sometimes emotional.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Ocst5eIs
Sometimes painful.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK1vvJOGWH
Sometimes nostalgic.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdi5UayWg9
And sometimes all of those feelings appear together at once.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsYTlMBkVc
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.
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoGRsMFpqB
