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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss97uYyA0a
Anyone whose initials were "P.K." instantly became a target of teasing.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJbiS31u3Y
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJnuCiJOIs
Then one day, our school introduced a new English grammar teacher.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6fbWJMN4u
He was the vice principal's nephew.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCnHUFQXKF
And his name was…
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8zPsk4nov
Pravin Kumar.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1h12irtkM
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx6P42O64R
But the funniest moment came later.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJfR24pjkB
When our class routine was distributed, one line was written clearly:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3ukm2OHSl
English Grammar — By PK
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURQGegnSbW
That single line became comedy gold for students 😭
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hOfiXgdIw
The moment everybody noticed it, laughter spread through the room again. Even I laughed. Honestly, almost everyone did.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZnTJNN6dV
But despite all the jokes, there was something strangely different about him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVybfX9mxK
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3pFAGaLIF
Even the way he carried himself felt different. He looked young, confident, disciplined, and strangely serious at the same time.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuIvemAnZk
Because of that, many students secretly mocked his accent behind his back too.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHHuIM5Pny
At that time, I laughed with everyone else without thinking much about it.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuEjHnn5hY
I had absolutely no idea that this same teacher would later become one of the strangest and most unforgettable memories of my school life.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsJJe9MIZT

112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMzeQIweL
One day, our final exam results were announced.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHl0bZqEIj
Like always, result day felt terrifying. Some students were excited, some nervous, and some were already preparing excuses in advance.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzjjogXZdC
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c4BaTuTtk
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU1cIItJB5
So my father asked him if he could recommend another teacher.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWzQj6lvK9
The class teacher then took him to the vice principal.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXCBx6scPB
And the vice principal recommended…
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwytvUvgXb
PK Sir.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchVt0T98hQ
The moment I heard his name, my heart almost stopped.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fKPgzt5JD
Inside my head, panic immediately began.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmyh8h3RDJ
Did he notice me laughing at him before?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDXFMmt5Py
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 😭
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElizejh8bZ
When my father finally came outside, he did not say anything at all. We quietly returned home.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMC4Vot8Sq
Neither my brother nor I dared to ask questions because we were already scared about our exam marks and possible scolding.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd99y3yUMyW
So we simply waited silently the entire day.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb33mHKL4p
That evening, after both my parents returned from work, my father suddenly called me and my brother.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaoLrXUVUC
"Come here and sit."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41bxNtgTl5
The moment he said that, both of us mentally prepared for a long lecture about studies, discipline, and poor marks 😭
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjud6ENIqn4
We quietly sat beside him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbQ1uTMlvu
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbBROU9gYC
Then he calmly announced:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxsP4IHvTQ
"He will teach both of you from now on."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvE0J5giQk
Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked softly:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfazDLFUNK
"Papa… what's his name?"
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9xdzpru4j
And the moment he replied:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu22vHOjSAl
"PK Sir."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgdNuIiYDi
my brother suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter so loudly that even I got startled for a second
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GhdmDZq8C
Watching him laugh made me laugh too, and somehow, for a few moments, all the fear about marks disappeared.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ95foav4K7
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgelHchI34m

112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QGl1pGLpD
The next day at school, PK Sir entered our classroom as usual.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeIORGnilQ
He informed us that our regular class teacher was on sick leave, so he would handle the class for the day.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrAchmxN9S
Then he started taking attendance.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4BG0zV9g6
Everything felt normal until he suddenly paused while reading names.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKIIMEG6mk
"Who is Lily?" he asked.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ipZG7GJJ6
The moment I heard my name, my heartbeat instantly increased.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQM4VpLDrw
I slowly stood up from my seat.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkvxzNQI7P
He looked directly at me for a few seconds.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRonDb4QNY
Then he smiled slightly and simply said:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeZIrVpqHK
"Sit down."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETtDpyTAPW
That was all.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXd5JRG1mO
But inside my head, I was already imagining my funeral 😭
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz0arCYrXS
I became completely convinced that now I had officially entered his notice forever.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWyVr3jMiK
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIND60xYuBQ

112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZiZllVLvl
Our tuition classes started that very same afternoon at 3 PM.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRNwN7Drme
It was the first tuition experience of our lives, so my brother and I were both extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhEn2CO5Ub
Even my father stayed home that day because he wanted to personally observe how such a young teacher taught students.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4144vDbinZ
PK Sir was probably only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82H35thbWG
Every afternoon, he arrived at our house on his rider bicycle 🚲
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDKmb0nRNQ
And somehow, even that bicycle became part of the memory.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5hqqVHWVo
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 😭
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx0ol5vCWU
Sometimes we even opened random pages just to look hardworking before he entered the room.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo8PJFGhPg
For some reason, his bicycle matched his personality perfectly — simple, disciplined, and slightly intimidating.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB49whvtWNT
When he entered for the first class, he first introduced himself properly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVt4R4g7cC
Then my brother and I introduced ourselves too with the excitement only children can have.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsai6SS5Se
After that, he carefully checked our report cards.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIkGjrgH1D
Then he looked at both of us calmly and said:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQ5uLO38K
"You both are weak in mathematics."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNc0HToB2w
The embarrassment at that moment felt unbearable.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3AOZuqQJm
Both of us quietly lowered our heads and stared at the floor.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzsEiqtxQS
But instead of immediately scolding us, he handed us a strict study routine.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SDiiCumOV
Then he announced:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95UhU9wwFc
"Every Saturday, I will take a test based on everything studied during the week."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaRcXSwPdL
At that moment, we obediently nodded.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkVLaOWvMp
But internally, both of us were terrified.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0VaePIGkq
For us, Saturdays stopped feeling like weekends and started feeling like court judgment days 😭
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D0FI8UUzn
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44EIZ3WI1y

112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCjuonFyR
Days slowly passed like this.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKovXjzOVR
Sometimes our marks improved.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQibGdLGoV
Sometimes they became worse.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLasdxPFbf
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fpxI94gQq
Whenever marks were low, scolding happened.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4hWJLQvzS
Sometimes punishments happened too.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACqTwKYZaZ
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhHj4IUktL
One day, after another poor test result, PK Sir looked at my brother silently for a few seconds.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQtqquLYMO
Then suddenly he looked at me and said:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr7lPDZBzQ
"Slap him."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg0SyE724l
Normally, siblings fight all the time.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPxIGAbO8u
At home, if we argued, I could hit my brother casually without feeling emotional about it.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RayynHsHl
But that day felt completely different.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnay0wWhA1
The moment Sir ordered me to hit my own brother, something inside me suddenly broke emotionally.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmm1KzALzc
Without warning, a tear rolled down from the side of my eye.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5hHW3SAvb
Even today, I still cannot fully explain why that happened.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0n0xLSnMT
Maybe because hurting someone you love feels completely different when another person commands you to do it.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jqGyooqwJ
PK Sir noticed my tears.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I7JkY4Aoi
Then he smiled slightly and softly said:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HDlemeIcL
"Oh… sisters' love."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWMrMwrsu5
After that, he simply gave homework and left.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8yt0BKDen
But that small moment stayed in my memory for years.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZpwp045wU
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBmCMF7FQa
---
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WGnJizu4H
Unfortunately, things became much worse later.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusr8av5uk5
Another weekly test happened.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8i87JVF5t
And once again, my brother received very low marks in mathematics.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEIeTYZbQT
That day, PK Sir completely lost his temper.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5VZj7Z5xc
He beat my brother badly with a stick.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6LzqFSOWU
I still remember the fear and silence in that room afterward.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaxtM9BBhy
The injuries became so painful that even his nails turned dark because blood had clotted beneath them after getting hit accidentally.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAN1shgDY3
My brother cried continuously.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD8kEqfYPH
A little later, my elder sister came to check on him.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCAFhFeoPH
The moment she saw his injuries and tears, she herself started crying while applying medicine to his wounds.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7LMkpZ3aQ
Then my parents returned home from work.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiitcBjCh5g
The moment my mother saw my brother's condition, panic instantly appeared on her face.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M9F92w8eF
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm48Hc9sCa7
Soon he even developed fever.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaoWGhu42a
My mother immediately insisted that he needed a doctor.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aaVSeyUm7
That night, the atmosphere inside our house felt extremely heavy and emotional.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrJfogJ0xH
After that incident, my father permanently stopped our tuition classes with PK Sir.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXga6oJv9rL
At that moment, my brother and I felt relieved.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac9H48O69S
But unfortunately, the story did not actually end there.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRg1oCwxbI
Because we still studied in the same school.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBfvli6THn
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCi17t4We
---
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9jvQBK75p
That was when another strange phase began.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF8tUgtcXy
My brother studied in the junior section, so he no longer had much interaction with PK Sir.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Xx4EnlzS
But I was in the senior section.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0n6oIPWdY
Which meant I could not escape him 😭
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2GYGE5zxe
Whenever homework notebooks needed collecting, he specifically called me.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJusNU1z1gQ
Whenever oral tests happened, he personally asked me questions.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJhg0YO6ab
And the worst part was the eye contact.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMittEtlG2Z
He would continue looking directly at me while asking questions until I became so nervous that I forgot answers I actually knew.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAaChIN6dO
Then after I somehow answered, he would smile slightly and say:
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ60mnA5k0
"Now ask questions to the class."
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqhmV46Gwd
For most students, this would probably sound completely normal.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkbCiF520k
But for me, it felt terrifying.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxKMEjVCbx
I was an extremely introverted girl who barely even spoke comfortably to boys in class before that.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYULpOeDdfl
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwmHa7Y2Dn
I still remember how nervous my voice sounded every single time.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYlga4gC1j
Sometimes my hands shook while holding notebooks.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQyDaT3NBs
Sometimes I forgot simple words while speaking.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLbXqOkPkN
And every time he looked at me directly, I immediately became even more nervous.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ELbvoFBLL
This strange situation continued for months.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEGa8lTZBu
Then finally, one day, my parents received a transfer order.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBO6uEKpyl
I had to leave the school completely.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTJ9kOxa4o
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVNbblWhhC
Sometimes it feels funny.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R6Tpecalq
Sometimes embarrassing.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum6t5YFaYi
Sometimes emotional.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRh3NGVJ7l
Sometimes painful.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT7Utzy1gS
Sometimes nostalgic.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c5BAmKYBR
And sometimes all of those feelings appear together at once.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j40FAdzro
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1AOEwMGFt
