On the occasion of Teacher's Day that falls on September 5, Bollywood actress Dia Mirza sent out her special wishes to a class teacher from school.

I'm a big believer that teacher's affect eternity. I went to a school that I revere completely -- Vidhyaranya High School in Hyderabad -- and I'm not kidding when I say I remember every class teacher right through school.

But I would like to make a special mention of a teacher who was hugely responsible in helping me become the person that I am today. In helping me come out of my shell and encouraging me to write and read and express myself through words -- Namita Shrivastava.

She was my Grade 2 class teacher and she continued to be my class teacher for two more years after that. I have too much to thank her for. Happy Teachers' Day!

On the occasion of Teacher's Day, we want you to share a story about your favourite teacher with us. It can be amusing, interesting or sentimental -- but it has to be about that special someone who made the biggest impression upon you in the course of your academic career.

Simply write in to us at getahead@rediff.co.in (subject line: 'To Teacher, with love') with your experience and, if possible, a photograph of your teacher and you. We'll be publishing the best entries right here on rediff.com!
