Every year, India celebrates Teachers’ Day on September 5 to honour the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. But Teachers’ Day is more than just a date in history. It’s about celebrating those who inspire us, push us forward when we want to give up, and change the course of our lives.

But teaching doesn’t stop at schools; even parents, friends, and mentors shape us. Take a moment today to reflect: Who has been that teacher for you? If you can, reach out and thank them.
