Actor and International dancer Shantanu Maheshwari who is also a dance teacher now with all the workshops his crew, the Desi Hoppers and him have been conducting around the country, recalls a special incident he shared with his favorite teacher back in school.

Whilst reminiscing about some old teacher's day memories, Shantanu recalled a time when his studies had gone haywire due to him having had to shift schools back home in Kolkata, and how back then a very special Mrs. Bannerjee the school coordinator had come to his rescue.

Recalling how she supported him he said, "My favorite teacher back in school was my school coordinator Mrs. Bannerjee. There was a time when I had shifted schools and my studies due to that had gone for a toss as the syllabus and the whole system of the new school was different from my old school one. At that time she proved to be a big support system for me. She was quite understanding of my situation and would always give me extra time to study. There was also a time when I had just shifted to the new school and didn't have my books or anything in place, so Mrs. Bannerjee would lend me her own reference books to study from. She would always share with us her life experiences to make us understand certain chapters and subjects in depth. While teaching dance in our Desi Hopper workshops, I keep in mind Mrs. Bannerjee's teaching techniques to use with our students. She truly was one teacher who helped me boost my confidence in many ways."
