There are moments in a teacher's journey that transcend the boundaries of the classroom. From our very first conversations during the MA first semester—helping her settle into a new academic environment—to exploring the depths of literature together, Muskan Saxena has been much more than a student. Over time, she became a friend, a colleague, and today, someone I proudly consider family. What has always amazed me is her unwavering passion for research, her genuine love for literature, and the spark of intellectual curiosity that never ceases to inspire. It is rare to find someone whose intellectual wavelength resonates so naturally, coupled with the wisdom of an old soul. Our journey has been one of mutual learning and growth—balancing rigorous academic discussions with moments of laughter and shared experiences. As a teacher, nothing is more fulfilling than witnessing a student's evolution into a fellow scholar. Today, I feel immensely proud as we take another meaningful step together—working on a dissertation under my supervision. I have no doubt that this is only the beginning of many more academic collaborations and shared milestones. To every teacher, there is no greater reward than seeing a student grow into a colleague. Muskan Saxena Loads of love!
