In politics by accident: Manmohan
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI
: For Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the brief interaction with award-winning teachers on Monday on the eve of Teachers' Day brought back memories — both of his student days and his first calling as a teacher. And, he made no secret of his fondness for the profession.
Stating that he was delighted to be among teachers ``having been one myself,'' Dr. Singh said: ``I still see myself as a teacher of sorts. I have strayed into politics by accident, but I had become a teacher by choice.''
Going down memory lane, he recalled with gratitude his own days in a village primary school which ``played a very important role in shaping my outlook to problems in life.''
According to Dr. Singh, he was the beneficiary of the affection of the family of his teacher ``where I went day after day in the evening sometimes to fetch water for the teacher's family from the village well and that sense of communication I [will] never forget.''
