This happened in 1986, when I was in my college final year. One of my subjects was Cost and Management Accounting. During that period, there were two group of Professors in the college, one supporting Management and the other group belonging to the Teacher’s Union and hence, against the Management. While we waited in our classrooms, teachers were often at loggerheads because of the difference in their opinions. There were a lot of attacks and counter attacks, barely any teaching was happening. The well-off students would go to tuitions and clear all the exams easily. As I didn’t fall in that category, I had to depend on my junior friend who was a year younger to me. He was a cricketer, and very sharp, studying to become a Chartered Accountant. The day before my exams, though he was my junior in college, he taught me seven ten marks sums saying that those were very important. By God’s grace I was surprised and happy to see five of those sums appear in the question paper and was able to clear that subject. Thanks to him. He still remains a dear friend and is my inspiration in so many ways, nudging me to keep writing poems, suggesting good books etc. He himself has authored 4 books. When I think about it, #ReverseMentoring has been happening throughout my life. I am the oldest of all my colleagues and find them to be kind and happy to help me whenever I seek their support. My kind advice is, do not hesitate to get help from others as nobody knows what you need and may not voluntarily offer help if we don’t voice our needs.
