Come September, and teachers in India have a reason to glow with pride! Yes, each year, this is the month when students all over the country take time out to wish their teachers on 5^th of September, HAPPY TEACHER’S DAY! Please note that all over th world, Teacher’s Day is celebrated on 5^th of October. But in India, the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, the second President of India, has been chosen for this reverential day.

Every child who has been to school remembers and cherishes the fun they have on this patrticular day each year. Let us take a quick peek into what goes on in schools and colleges to re-visit the experience and joy!

The Fun Begins At First Bell...Remember?

That’s right! From the prayer session to the lunch to the cultural program to the classes and the day end, teacher’s days are busy days, more for students and less for teachers. Don’t you remember how well your classmate taught the fifth standard students, a chapter in mathematics, that day in 12^th standard? Yes, on Teacher’s Day, many schools insist that their senior students undertake the role of teaching the junior classes. Add in a dash of activities and lo! You have moreattention at classwork at once! 

This is indeed a good practice for students and teachers, since students get hands-on experience of the trouble that teachers take in teaching them. This, in turn, improves the rapport between senior students of the school and their teachers. Not to forget that, many students realise their teaching potential in these formative years and decide to choose teaching as their career.

Cultural programs, home-made food and sweetmeats (from teachers and students alike), and a shower of gifts and official mementoes are other popular practices that you will find in Indian schools. The best part ofthe festivities is that teachers get to enjoy a joyful time in their busy daily schedule.

Decorations, Gifts and So Much More!

To increase the appeal of the decorations, students and school and college administrations often wish to use the services of professional floralists. And that is exactly where, we at Floralis take immense pride in creating customised bouquets and gifting items that would bring that gleeful smile on the recipient’s face. And all you students, isn’t it time you said a happy thank you? 

A little pre-thought can make your gifting a memorable experience for teachers; those individuals who spend 365 days of the year worrying about the future of the nation - students’ personality development and academic achievements. Just as colorful festoons brighten up the premises of your school on that day, you could add the unimaginable aroma of orchids to the decor of the corridors, offices and staff rooms for Teacher’s day.

Never forget that every year, teachers look forward to gifts and bouquets on this day of remembrance and joy. So yes, send in that coveted buoquet for your favorite teacher just as she is stepping into her seat at the staff room. Many students wish to give gifts like chocolates and hand-made cards. You could easily use one of our gifting baskets to wrap in your hug in the form of mementoes and select flowers.   

Remembrance is an act of extreme gratitude, especially, when the memories relate to that of a teacher, a guide, or a path-finder. Greet your dear teachers living abroad or in town by sending them specially ordered bouquets suitably customised using their name engraved in a card to prove to them your love and respect.

Have you started preparing for the Pujas !!

Sweet is thy LOVE!.........  Sweeter is thy ANGER!! ............ Sweetest is thy SMILE............. Mother!!!

Come August and the air of festivities begin in different parts of India. From Rakshabandhan to Janmashtami, to Ganesh Chaturthi to Navrathri and Deepavali, the list seems end less. Out of all these festivals, Durga Puja or Navrathri is celebrated with sincere pomp and joy in the eastern and northern parts of India.

As the name indicates, Navrathri is a celebration of ten days and nine nights, during which, the Mother Goddess Durga is said to have fought and vanquished the demon Mahishasura. Mythology has it that the fight to end the asura lasted for nine nights and ten days. It is also said that in the epic Ramayana, a similar fight happened during Navrathri with Rama killing the demon king Raavan on the tenth day.

All across India, these ten days are celebrated through fasting and ritualistic prayers, the climax of which happens on the tenth day. In Northern and Western India, giant effigies of Raavan are burnt to denote the end of evil. The practice is a little different in Eastern India, wherein, the presence of sacred Mother Goddess is invoked through prayers on the first day of the pujas (also called Mahalaya).

She stays  in the makeshift pandals for the next nine days, and is bid adieu on the tenth day. The idol that was used to signify the presence of the Mother is submerged in the holy waters of the Ganges on this day.

A national holiday is declared to allow everybody to enjoy the festivities to the fullest with their family and friends. Although, the holiday granted is only for a period of five days, the best time of the year starts almost as soon asyou start preparing for this grand festival. So, have you started your bit of shopping yet? Remember, the artisans are busy shaping up straw and bamboo idols of the Goddess and will be adding colour to them in no time.
