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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR2XXMxUcI
Anyone whose initials were "P.K." instantly became a target of teasing.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyaOff9rzp
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJwwOcf72
Then one day, our school introduced a new English grammar teacher.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0JxXRffgb
He was the vice principal's nephew.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBIFt9VxtD
And his name was…
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShmn64VE8E
Pravin Kumar.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oQkvRJDk9
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGniH5fW66
But the funniest moment came later.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtoSqPl7ww
When our class routine was distributed, one line was written clearly:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOT8CqYLTZ
English Grammar — By PK
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0iIIB7yOu
That single line became comedy gold for students 😭
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrew4Pj2Xr
The moment everybody noticed it, laughter spread through the room again. Even I laughed. Honestly, almost everyone did.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iAGIxSW6Y
But despite all the jokes, there was something strangely different about him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVkdgovesh
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IQZon28JK
Even the way he carried himself felt different. He looked young, confident, disciplined, and strangely serious at the same time.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMSlr0hcf1
Because of that, many students secretly mocked his accent behind his back too.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeezaQDhi2H
At that time, I laughed with everyone else without thinking much about it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezshHfpAjf
I had absolutely no idea that this same teacher would later become one of the strangest and most unforgettable memories of my school life.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ZTOJAdDh

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k6nXvVtCw
One day, our final exam results were announced.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7OMXhivQj
Like always, result day felt terrifying. Some students were excited, some nervous, and some were already preparing excuses in advance.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS8CunmDsO
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9afYbANic
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdZE5ItSNC
So my father asked him if he could recommend another teacher.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC1Kkj26N1
The class teacher then took him to the vice principal.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RsGpUkt4K
And the vice principal recommended…
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLI8Od7tqX
PK Sir.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuooBFf7cB
The moment I heard his name, my heart almost stopped.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMcaAbZ2Zz
Inside my head, panic immediately began.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcjBeThm8Y
Did he notice me laughing at him before?
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTcyKnw2pI
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 😭
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne4ib0ejTA
When my father finally came outside, he did not say anything at all. We quietly returned home.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTsaxK9n1Z
Neither my brother nor I dared to ask questions because we were already scared about our exam marks and possible scolding.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7YjXYrP4a
So we simply waited silently the entire day.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo5cMT6KXL
That evening, after both my parents returned from work, my father suddenly called me and my brother.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBbqN8Iidy
"Come here and sit."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggLxjS6LqZ
The moment he said that, both of us mentally prepared for a long lecture about studies, discipline, and poor marks 😭
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryWAKkp9q1
We quietly sat beside him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JFTo9Htgv
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgYpnS8b8F
Then he calmly announced:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8IGgnh1R7
"He will teach both of you from now on."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55hOtn9f92
Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked softly:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA0xuJulCr
"Papa… what's his name?"
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B76bmDioB
And the moment he replied:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTXhCHlRal
"PK Sir."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJMubMbzZD
my brother suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter so loudly that even I got startled for a second
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rgZojkk8M
Watching him laugh made me laugh too, and somehow, for a few moments, all the fear about marks disappeared.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSH6COE1zB
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb4BF0x3wS

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EqCVRY2PD
The next day at school, PK Sir entered our classroom as usual.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNX06WvJ2Q
He informed us that our regular class teacher was on sick leave, so he would handle the class for the day.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCNVeHXZnQ
Then he started taking attendance.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CKV63epzx
Everything felt normal until he suddenly paused while reading names.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IClXBVozu
"Who is Lily?" he asked.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0PO9NOMwE
The moment I heard my name, my heartbeat instantly increased.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJsl6s7O4Z
I slowly stood up from my seat.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlft58wV2n
He looked directly at me for a few seconds.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaf9yZs6we
Then he smiled slightly and simply said:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvQw5AJOJA
"Sit down."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqNXKSH0VJ
That was all.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDNYhHmKtM
But inside my head, I was already imagining my funeral 😭
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx6VotUY1s
I became completely convinced that now I had officially entered his notice forever.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4oPKT2Io5
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ep2RxA5vG

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXx6xKTsT7
Our tuition classes started that very same afternoon at 3 PM.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETRbC6fgTi
It was the first tuition experience of our lives, so my brother and I were both extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsopvVACJe
Even my father stayed home that day because he wanted to personally observe how such a young teacher taught students.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUafcAg806L
PK Sir was probably only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgxh2dMwEn
Every afternoon, he arrived at our house on his rider bicycle 🚲
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbRa0wgyyj
And somehow, even that bicycle became part of the memory.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjWoK9wAee
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 😭
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WVcyIgX51
Sometimes we even opened random pages just to look hardworking before he entered the room.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4qr19HdEz
For some reason, his bicycle matched his personality perfectly — simple, disciplined, and slightly intimidating.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiKgxx5MPP
When he entered for the first class, he first introduced himself properly.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhHlJH4Nf0
Then my brother and I introduced ourselves too with the excitement only children can have.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLwCWcNzLz
After that, he carefully checked our report cards.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2DJl7TZVw
Then he looked at both of us calmly and said:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWlp5eVPNG
"You both are weak in mathematics."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr770P2RImT
The embarrassment at that moment felt unbearable.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWKHeBr3xY
Both of us quietly lowered our heads and stared at the floor.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttenLZwJhE
But instead of immediately scolding us, he handed us a strict study routine.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8imAHToq6j
Then he announced:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZlDTCDZXA
"Every Saturday, I will take a test based on everything studied during the week."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOIyS5XTAO
At that moment, we obediently nodded.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8lO0GOLVn
But internally, both of us were terrified.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WT3FzzsN4
For us, Saturdays stopped feeling like weekends and started feeling like court judgment days 😭
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQvs8Tx86d
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1O3I4FzsL

107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0G5oZyrcG
Days slowly passed like this.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gEPkjySDp
Sometimes our marks improved.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdA7T0cLHP
Sometimes they became worse.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rMbld9Wn1
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndDzXahENe
Whenever marks were low, scolding happened.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVhO3flbjU
Sometimes punishments happened too.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSoBtc89zK
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNHBQmnsW2
One day, after another poor test result, PK Sir looked at my brother silently for a few seconds.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkXxD0SI1d
Then suddenly he looked at me and said:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJF3U8Zwlb
"Slap him."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfDeSRLqMg
Normally, siblings fight all the time.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cnCe22bo2
At home, if we argued, I could hit my brother casually without feeling emotional about it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel5OAD9zBt
But that day felt completely different.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3xJktJJvH
The moment Sir ordered me to hit my own brother, something inside me suddenly broke emotionally.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRYOpRxPub
Without warning, a tear rolled down from the side of my eye.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPV7tyKyCU
Even today, I still cannot fully explain why that happened.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBbAdcKHrR
Maybe because hurting someone you love feels completely different when another person commands you to do it.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G7B2Z7rA7
PK Sir noticed my tears.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazQJJmi5CS
Then he smiled slightly and softly said:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN9klKabdC
"Oh… sisters' love."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0PxwQGTCx
After that, he simply gave homework and left.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZBvpAb2ho
But that small moment stayed in my memory for years.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuzVhYHvlM
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd84Bwl0ood
---
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ZxPJO3si
Unfortunately, things became much worse later.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qUa1v9WiN
Another weekly test happened.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWC3JMf59J
And once again, my brother received very low marks in mathematics.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgjTYFLDAt
That day, PK Sir completely lost his temper.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiWaI1pFn7
He beat my brother badly with a stick.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjCHJG48Sv
I still remember the fear and silence in that room afterward.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckHjiZw4Vy
The injuries became so painful that even his nails turned dark because blood had clotted beneath them after getting hit accidentally.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToUiX6pFQO
My brother cried continuously.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTJ7HLkvd3
A little later, my elder sister came to check on him.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCez0nJPfO
The moment she saw his injuries and tears, she herself started crying while applying medicine to his wounds.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBZamiptHO
Then my parents returned home from work.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmV4k9tMeR
The moment my mother saw my brother's condition, panic instantly appeared on her face.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykQotdA7D1
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbEeyN5FYV
Soon he even developed fever.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVZu0t1mhk
My mother immediately insisted that he needed a doctor.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzwXcXljSK
That night, the atmosphere inside our house felt extremely heavy and emotional.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx6Ot3aVYZ
After that incident, my father permanently stopped our tuition classes with PK Sir.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE4jfWFTt4
At that moment, my brother and I felt relieved.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6F4SaAYI6
But unfortunately, the story did not actually end there.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFtyIFb3tY
Because we still studied in the same school.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLezeEVDbe
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy0dHcCchJ
---
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZefU4kJd5
That was when another strange phase began.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOPHnTPlQD
My brother studied in the junior section, so he no longer had much interaction with PK Sir.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ca3Ee4VKq
But I was in the senior section.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLfGLEhWKI
Which meant I could not escape him 😭
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUqovUq2vB
Whenever homework notebooks needed collecting, he specifically called me.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohl2Sy1PSA
Whenever oral tests happened, he personally asked me questions.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI3ybMxP4T
And the worst part was the eye contact.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMGLVvCnPN
He would continue looking directly at me while asking questions until I became so nervous that I forgot answers I actually knew.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7vsRlu4er
Then after I somehow answered, he would smile slightly and say:
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9sI3jRqp7
"Now ask questions to the class."
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97qadncXrd
For most students, this would probably sound completely normal.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpJ3dLGeiL
But for me, it felt terrifying.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzCmBeDGMt
I was an extremely introverted girl who barely even spoke comfortably to boys in class before that.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS9E4vqmrq
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi90l6BUCwe
I still remember how nervous my voice sounded every single time.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdpYa7qhad
Sometimes my hands shook while holding notebooks.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYLgNCGVWw
Sometimes I forgot simple words while speaking.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcNUrcVepR
And every time he looked at me directly, I immediately became even more nervous.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp969pjRmK
This strange situation continued for months.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhDgWp5NDW
Then finally, one day, my parents received a transfer order.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyJOZEk9vH
I had to leave the school completely.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOoMp4NHX5
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURBM4Su9BJ
Sometimes it feels funny.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5uTQQdrul
Sometimes embarrassing.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6XSVS0YhP
Sometimes emotional.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1QIEKt92Z
Sometimes painful.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5dHdnzWUn
Sometimes nostalgic.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfryc3wQYZi
And sometimes all of those feelings appear together at once.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVVWewgss1
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.
107Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIeSt2iaRx
