Reflection 8: From the Unrequited Love Series

Respecting What Was Never Yours




Loving Babli never gave Pawan ownership.

It gave him responsibility.

Responsibility to respect her boundaries.

Responsibility to protect her image.

Responsibility to step back when stepping forward could harm more than help.

Desire wanted closeness.

Values demanded restraint.

This conflict taught him a rare lesson:

love does not entitle - 

it obliges.

By respecting what was never his,

He did not diminish his emotion.

He elevated his character.

Some loves are not meant to be claimed.

They are meant to be handled with care.


📘 Inspired by the novel

“Unrequited Love: Pawan and Babli’s Love Story”

The complete emotional journey lives only within the novel.

SUNDAY SPECIAL:  TEACHER TALKS  The Unfiltered Confessions of a Classroom Life By Rakesh Kushwah Why This Blog Exists Today?? Teachers, parents, and students wrote heartfelt comments on last week’s blog. Some praised the truth . Some shared their pain . Some said, “Sir, thank you for saying what we always felt but never spoke.” And one line repeated again and again: “ Sir, teachers melt with a genuine sorry.” Yes. One honest “ Sorry, Sir / Madam ” can heal a teacher’s week-long frustration. But one false accusation … one exaggerated story … one misunderstanding … can break a teacher forever. So today, I am not writing as a lecturer, author, or admin. Today I speak as a teacher — seedhi baat, dil se baat. And I begin with two stories from Mumbai… stories that shaped me, broke me, healed me . STORY 1 — The Wooden Scale & The Sound That Echoed When I was half of my present age, I entered Mumbai with a glowing face, confident mind, energy of knowledge, a spark of wisdom, a...

Teacher Talks:  The Truth Why Students Prefer Lenient Teachers Over Strict Ones? Human psychology is simple: People naturally gravitate towards those who make them feel good , appreciated , and comfortable . Students are no different. They immediately like teachers who are friendly, flexible, lenient, and easy in paper correction . But strict, disciplined, transparent , and firm teachers rarely become “favourites,” even if they are the ones transforming students in the long run. Why does this happen? Let’s explore. 1. Human Psychology: Appreciation Attracts If you talk in a positive, pleasing , and praising tone , people love interacting with you. But if you're honest, straightforward , and transparent , many hesitate . Truth often hurts, even when it is needed. Students similarly prefer teachers who match their wavelengths, habits, and comfort zone, even if rigor is missing. 2. Strict Teachers Are Often Misunderstood Dedicated and firm teachers sometimes become targets for a ...

Sunday Series Part 6: Seedhi Baat The Silent Suffering of Good Teachers Those who don’t complain. Those who slowly withdraw. Opening  This Sunday Series is not written in anger. It is written in calm. It is not an argument. It is a pause. A pause to listen to teachers who speak softly. Parents who worry silently. Students who struggle quietly. And leaders who carry unseen responsibility. These reflections are not meant to accuse anyone. They are meant to heal conversations that have become too loud or too silent. If even one reader feels understood, this series has served its purpose. Why This Part Exists This part is for teachers who never raised their voice. Never wrote emails. Never played politics. They believed work would speak. It didn’t. The Teacher Who Never Fought He was an excellent teacher. Not average. Not adequate. Excellent. Deep command over his subject Years of classroom experience Students respected him Parents trusted him Results quietly spoke for him He prepa...
