Click to play videoNew Delhi: It's a role reversal of a different sort. He's a teacher during the day and a student in the evenings. Meet D K Pabby, the Principal of the Ram Lal College in the capital.
In the morning, he takes classes at his college but come evening, and he rushes to the nearby Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College to attend his second semester LLB classes.
"I love playing both roles — a teacher and a student," Pabby says.
Pabby quite enjoys sitting on this side of the fence. A teacher for 40 years now, Pabby learns from teachers much younger to him. At 64, he is just months away from his retirement.
"After retirement, I will have lots of time where I will use my knowledge of law to give free legal aid to the poor," Pabby explains.
Pabby's classroom is a mixed bunch. Students aged between 22 and 64 years, from various backgrounds rub shoulders. And their teacher Bharati, younger than most of her students, isn't complaining.
"They are punctual, understanding, do their homework and never disturb the class. Its only the younger ones that create a nuisance," she says.
For these students, most of who work through the daytime, it’s legalese from 6.15 to 9.15 pm, five days a week — an inspiration perhaps to most of us who start looking at the watch just as the clock strikes five and we want to rush back home.
