Farewell functions often follow a cliched template where the retiree is seated on a makeshift dais with the ‘soon-to-be former colleagues’ singing paeans on how he or she will be missed.
Determined not to tread that beaten path, the teachers of the Government Higher Secondary School, Chengamanad, on the outskirts of Kochi city in Kerala, staged a different kind of farewell for Susheeladevi P., a Mathematics teacher, in Goa during this Christmas vacation. However, the whole episode has now assumed a life of its own with its video going viral on social media.
