Dear Jason,
Today on 23rd July,2021, we celebrate a festival called “Guru Purnima”. Guru Purnima is a tradition, dedicated to all the spiritual and academic Gurus, who are evolved or enlightened humans, ready to share their wisdom with no monetary expectation, based on Karma Yoga. It is celebrated as a festival in India. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Guru Purnima, and would like to thank you for everything that you have done for us. To start with, coming to London for my post-graduate, was my first ever trip abroad, so every single day for me was a fresh start and a different learning experience. When the course started, since the beginning you have been an absolute amazing tutor one could ever ask for. I really respect your dedication to teach and your work ethics, which inspired me to see the profession with a broader eye. Unfortunately, when COVID-19 hit the UK and the world, everything changed. We as students were really shattered and clueless with our future…But you did not give up… ..I never got a chance to thank you enough for making the most difficult time of our lives so comfortable and safe…
I would really like to thank you for not letting me break, for opening up new perspectives in the design field, for always being there for me, for showing us what a true teacher looks like, for being not just a teacher but also a phenomenal guardian, for making sure that our future is safe and were able to carry on with our learning. As an update, I have started my own firm here in India, designing interiors and architecture for residential, commercial and hospitality sectors. Also, I have started teaching again at my university, after getting inspired by a wonderful tutor like you.
I will always look forward to you and you’ll always be an inspiration to me. Thank you for showing me the right path, and I still miss your insightful design discussions.
Happy Guru Purnima, Jason!
Warm Regards,
Harsh
