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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU37drjifY6
Anyone whose initials were "P.K." instantly became a target of teasing.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulfZiNINku
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBDdEXX19M
Then one day, our school introduced a new English grammar teacher.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpptwB3d6oz
He was the vice principal's nephew.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ90ll2jQle
And his name was…
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEKzXeSv1V
Pravin Kumar.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0vyi26vdL
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsU8uD4KNn
But the funniest moment came later.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mf7V1pfP
When our class routine was distributed, one line was written clearly:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmIZa9V5ir
English Grammar — By PK
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxakqIUqA0
That single line became comedy gold for students 😭
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZSHUXbI1s
The moment everybody noticed it, laughter spread through the room again. Even I laughed. Honestly, almost everyone did.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctSZs9DZ5k
But despite all the jokes, there was something strangely different about him.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNrnqvC9y
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxoilmGRvv
Even the way he carried himself felt different. He looked young, confident, disciplined, and strangely serious at the same time.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEB0ZnJl2R
Because of that, many students secretly mocked his accent behind his back too.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNh5iFPhQ1
At that time, I laughed with everyone else without thinking much about it.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b9NA06iLR
I had absolutely no idea that this same teacher would later become one of the strangest and most unforgettable memories of my school life.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtniU9DxIjQ
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMwnJVu4Lk

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uhDt4KoIB
One day, our final exam results were announced.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rOioMUYNr
Like always, result day felt terrifying. Some students were excited, some nervous, and some were already preparing excuses in advance.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBxs8t8EA5
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ8rUJ4E0B
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctbaFLEULK
So my father asked him if he could recommend another teacher.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE9ZXxe6jr
The class teacher then took him to the vice principal.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGvmxuCd2q
And the vice principal recommended…
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpolxWzp8j
PK Sir.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx7Wh2lUIW
The moment I heard his name, my heart almost stopped.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvRQxorbBE
Inside my head, panic immediately began.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyZCqdOVsp
Did he notice me laughing at him before?
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJZ2hiF5Y9
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 😭
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAlJ0yLLQF
When my father finally came outside, he did not say anything at all. We quietly returned home.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFd1ivyMKC
Neither my brother nor I dared to ask questions because we were already scared about our exam marks and possible scolding.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hpnHVl2DH
So we simply waited silently the entire day.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yDpOaagcE
That evening, after both my parents returned from work, my father suddenly called me and my brother.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ds53EMy5A
"Come here and sit."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3lUUPxqP3
The moment he said that, both of us mentally prepared for a long lecture about studies, discipline, and poor marks 😭
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSED4rO3BL
We quietly sat beside him.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIkPG9fkjT
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQERQnyXFT7
Then he calmly announced:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P3kyLprEG
"He will teach both of you from now on."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr6h3XFUD9
Even though I already knew the answer, I still asked softly:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oeV1LmQIp
"Papa… what's his name?"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpQZ3exh7Z
And the moment he replied:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibewBSqZAc
"PK Sir."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKal4jIOnY
my brother suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter so loudly that even I got startled for a second
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfRcRTOv5M
Watching him laugh made me laugh too, and somehow, for a few moments, all the fear about marks disappeared.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4VCNIwHlA
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1k3vzlSmj

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfgqftxLjf
The next day at school, PK Sir entered our classroom as usual.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxJWA6y7fx
He informed us that our regular class teacher was on sick leave, so he would handle the class for the day.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ992e5HBysE
Then he started taking attendance.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xFc8pZ7uz
Everything felt normal until he suddenly paused while reading names.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYWMwhWt1l
"Who is Lily?" he asked.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ctrtKvsa
The moment I heard my name, my heartbeat instantly increased.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSRMaOCnW4
I slowly stood up from my seat.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaBOCl3gvs
He looked directly at me for a few seconds.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ziwIeN5c4
Then he smiled slightly and simply said:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiOQREJME9
"Sit down."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjpyLik568
That was all.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafOscg0jXR
But inside my head, I was already imagining my funeral 😭
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSdN7ClKLZ
I became completely convinced that now I had officially entered his notice forever.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SKtGurYz5
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByfrV8r3by

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcgxw6m0s0
Our tuition classes started that very same afternoon at 3 PM.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW43EqpwSu4
It was the first tuition experience of our lives, so my brother and I were both extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjbmjwddzv
Even my father stayed home that day because he wanted to personally observe how such a young teacher taught students.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBujDS5Y50s
PK Sir was probably only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT5nWQyIv7
Every afternoon, he arrived at our house on his rider bicycle 🚲
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvGG8C4bcN
And somehow, even that bicycle became part of the memory.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKXs4iyk4
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 😭
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt8pocRNrX
Sometimes we even opened random pages just to look hardworking before he entered the room.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFE1z4xB5p
For some reason, his bicycle matched his personality perfectly — simple, disciplined, and slightly intimidating.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOqSnB8dUk
When he entered for the first class, he first introduced himself properly.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1HBdi5kOV
Then my brother and I introduced ourselves too with the excitement only children can have.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ydKSLQtsh
After that, he carefully checked our report cards.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnpXp1T0cw
Then he looked at both of us calmly and said:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCNYe1XWHe
"You both are weak in mathematics."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgSmFYOd0G
The embarrassment at that moment felt unbearable.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QtyYw1SYX
Both of us quietly lowered our heads and stared at the floor.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48kwDD7H8R
But instead of immediately scolding us, he handed us a strict study routine.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrAMpffHWS
Then he announced:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7R7EruOAN
"Every Saturday, I will take a test based on everything studied during the week."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBULCq60otw
At that moment, we obediently nodded.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57MNOfxslf
But internally, both of us were terrified.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICaBYgH1Z4
For us, Saturdays stopped feeling like weekends and started feeling like court judgment days 😭
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylHC9vTFGu
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMWPEVyk0R

117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPnpkOKsGj
Days slowly passed like this.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0odipMY1qX
Sometimes our marks improved.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrBoPadBQM
Sometimes they became worse.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8TIbqcnh6
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8szDusT1n
Whenever marks were low, scolding happened.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvbNU6wsQ3
Sometimes punishments happened too.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3iPf58BHc
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7fNME4fIF
One day, after another poor test result, PK Sir looked at my brother silently for a few seconds.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkMjLaGoa4
Then suddenly he looked at me and said:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ0CJWmtSA
"Slap him."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsr6Y2vC5n
Normally, siblings fight all the time.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEITrRYLTL
At home, if we argued, I could hit my brother casually without feeling emotional about it.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyzqRlXQ3C
But that day felt completely different.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8cSwKUzhX
The moment Sir ordered me to hit my own brother, something inside me suddenly broke emotionally.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcQIRCIoNs
Without warning, a tear rolled down from the side of my eye.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGABz7dS4j8
Even today, I still cannot fully explain why that happened.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHCTaTGkXj
Maybe because hurting someone you love feels completely different when another person commands you to do it.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn32Zxteors
PK Sir noticed my tears.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HV23CgoRX
Then he smiled slightly and softly said:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXmQjbgN6k
"Oh… sisters' love."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YdEHcwVe2
After that, he simply gave homework and left.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh76iYb6fj
But that small moment stayed in my memory for years.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFnVvQ81mX
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgASm0ulncL
---
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfIs8USjtN
Unfortunately, things became much worse later.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxbfBD1uX4
Another weekly test happened.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquGbjx8NY0
And once again, my brother received very low marks in mathematics.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtiRapAyIK
That day, PK Sir completely lost his temper.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWGPa9A4ys
He beat my brother badly with a stick.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R20q68SMw
I still remember the fear and silence in that room afterward.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXP6t1pRzI
The injuries became so painful that even his nails turned dark because blood had clotted beneath them after getting hit accidentally.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZZEzj091g
My brother cried continuously.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRJu9ecT1g
A little later, my elder sister came to check on him.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSbbxw2YMR
The moment she saw his injuries and tears, she herself started crying while applying medicine to his wounds.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQThfp7Rq
Then my parents returned home from work.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSrYrS6D2W
The moment my mother saw my brother's condition, panic instantly appeared on her face.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Df5yFUjx
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjPy8HBRPb
Soon he even developed fever.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N8Uc8jhfk
My mother immediately insisted that he needed a doctor.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5acpcuIEp
That night, the atmosphere inside our house felt extremely heavy and emotional.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rg68yzkMe
After that incident, my father permanently stopped our tuition classes with PK Sir.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFV9qH7biv
At that moment, my brother and I felt relieved.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvginK02rMf
But unfortunately, the story did not actually end there.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgGvK4PMja
Because we still studied in the same school.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9w4MD4bsr
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxZHsFXiYz
---
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Db8C6N5Iw
That was when another strange phase began.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89WDvnrex4
My brother studied in the junior section, so he no longer had much interaction with PK Sir.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD2aJlUpxH
But I was in the senior section.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItxcpNFZwn
Which meant I could not escape him 😭
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XqVZPdcfr
Whenever homework notebooks needed collecting, he specifically called me.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22YePNUCCf
Whenever oral tests happened, he personally asked me questions.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrZ3pDJSYF
And the worst part was the eye contact.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKlfaZ4l1X
He would continue looking directly at me while asking questions until I became so nervous that I forgot answers I actually knew.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEogMv7XZb
Then after I somehow answered, he would smile slightly and say:
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuDc3mlHXE
"Now ask questions to the class."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QPsdWJmAx
For most students, this would probably sound completely normal.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKged13hiC
But for me, it felt terrifying.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh9Hl6Al2p
I was an extremely introverted girl who barely even spoke comfortably to boys in class before that.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9kVW5ieyX
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM52wHAZweP
I still remember how nervous my voice sounded every single time.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGjUb1KZda
Sometimes my hands shook while holding notebooks.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkArWET1b5f
Sometimes I forgot simple words while speaking.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDzP0wTNk
And every time he looked at me directly, I immediately became even more nervous.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItNoSG30Yt
This strange situation continued for months.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w0agAlHrC
Then finally, one day, my parents received a transfer order.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquOE1AmP2z
I had to leave the school completely.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WFcAMWrTM
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.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtszPSY0we
Sometimes it feels funny.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSBdvGdiPL
Sometimes embarrassing.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdB4dUKnnF
Sometimes emotional.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFsQTVDmK8
Sometimes painful.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIcFn74fYz
Sometimes nostalgic.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAxcxov8gz
And sometimes all of those feelings appear together at once.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqUM9vhISq
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.
