चन्दनन शशीतलन ललोकक चन्दननादपप चन्द्रमनामाः।

चन्द्रचन्दनयलोमर्मध्यक शशीतलना सनाधधसङ्गततमाः।।

Indeed, words aren't enough to express our love for the great personality that Gokhale ma'am is. Many
of us who wished to pursue Sanskrit decided to join Ruia, having faith in just one name, Manjusha
Gokhale. While we were uncertain about our admission in Ruia, she called, to give us moral support. We
were as if drawn to this motherly figure and her family that was the Sanskrit department.

We know that we can always count on her, when we need help. Not exaggerating, but Ma'am, 'आम्हह
तधमचक पनारर्म आहलोत, आणण तधम्हह आमच्यना शशीककष्ण.'

While teaching, she came down to our intellectual level and taught us. Isn't that great? म्हणजक, आम्हनालना
गशीतना शशकवणन हक एखनाद्यना अगगगददव्यनापककना कमशी ननाहह! She takes us to a visual tour with her brilliant teaching
skills. With her, we didn't just learn कणर्मभनारम म, we saw it happening. We would be so engrossed in her
lecture that she had to remind us, 'अरक शलहहन घकतनाय नना? मलना उत्तरनानमध्यक हक मधदक ददसलक पनादहजकत.'

Attending lectures continuously for 4 hours, who would sit for another 2 hours? We did, because it was
Gokhale ma'am's lecture. We attended out of love, respect and authority. She never looked tired even
after working for the whole day, she inspired us to study hard without letting us feel the hardships. ममडम
ह्यना पकमनाचना आणण जनाननाचना अरनानग सनागर आहक . महत्तवनाचन म्हणजक ह्यना समधद्रनाच्यना खनारट पनाण्यनातहह गलोडवना आहक .

During Mahabharat mahotsav, the auditorium was full with guests. They had come just because of an
invite by ma'am. She is a brand in herself. When out of college, we're known as "गलोखलक ममडमचक पवद्यनारर"

After the mahotsav was over, she told us,"सगळ्यना पनाहधण्यनाननशी तम

ध चन खप
ध ककौतक
ध ककलन. मशी म्हणनालक त्यनाननना, मनाझशी
मधलन आहक तच छनान." Two words, 'मनाझशी मधलन' but they had meaning of a million attributes. At that moment,
we realized, our unbreakable bond with her.

All other departments in the college have something praiseworthy to say about her. Once a teacher had
said," Programmes held by Sanskrit Department are always out of the box and of high quality." in spite of
all this praise, she's humble and gives all the credit to others.'मधलन आणण पनाहधणक एकत आलक कक महलोत्सव
हलोतलोच.'

A face never losing it's charm, she is young at heart who accompanied us all the way to the Kanheri caves
and back without showing slightest of fatigue. Be it keeping few books aside in the library for our project
work or the mid lecture coffee she treats us with, she never fails to amaze us. She has shown so much of
concern towards us, always asking us, "तधमचशी बनालमनन कधशी मलोठठ हलोणनार?" She's nothing less than our
godmother.
When we decided to write this article, our exams were to begin, however when it comes to Gokhale
ma'am, कसलह परहकना आणण कसलना पकपर? Ma'am we truly love you and we don't want to miss you, मग
guest lecture घकतनाय नना?
