CJI expressed his gratitude to his teachers for their contribution to his life and credited them for shaping his debating skills and inculcating values of equality and social benevolence. 

CJI shared a nostalgic moment from his past, saying, "Mother would give me 20 paisa. I would walk towards Mantralaya to catch the BEST bus number 5 to Gaiwadi and then walk some more to school each day. The bus ticket cost 5 paise. In those days, a samosa patti would cost 5 paise with homemade jam, and misal pav would cost 10 paise."
