His tweet in Hindi, when translated to English, reads as "today, while shopping for some items for the children in a New Jersey mall, I experienced a remarkable encounter reminiscent of scenes from an Indian drama film. As I browsed, a voice greeted me from behind: "Anand, sir, you are here in America." Turning around, I found a former student, Sandeep Chaudhary, who proceeded to touch my feet in a gesture of respect. He expressed gratitude for my guidance and mentorship, insisting on paying for my purchases himself. He attributed his success to my blessings and insisted on driving me back to my accommodations. Such acts of kindness and appreciation fill me with immense pride as a teacher."
The post has garnered nearly 100,000 views so far, with numerous social media users engaging in discussions and leaving comments.
"Sir, you are the pride of India! Current age greatest mathematician and true teacher," commented a user.
"Sir, this achievement is a testament to your selfless dedication. It's just a small token of the immense sacrifice you've made. While they may honour you, there are countless others like them who owe you a debt they can never fully repay. The entire state of Bihar takes pride in knowing that a remarkable educator like you hails from our region," another user wrote.
Meanwhile, Kumar has unveiled plans for the launch of a new online educational platform. This initiative aims to offer accessible education to underprivileged students in India.
