• What or who is the motivation behind you choosing to teach & why?

  I have always idolised Dr. Tharoor for multiple reasons. My sessions have always had his vision of a well formed mind as the driving force. Rational and a good command over communication to express better to an audience or 2 or 2000 has been a general and persistent motive. I plan to get students just there.

• How does your work help society?

  Four years of teaching has brought me close to a number of students from diverse backgrounds and multiple needs. Listening to their stories have assured me of my contributions in their lives. It gives me a sense of purpose listening to the issues they face on a daily basis - at work places, schools and home. It reminds me of my responsibilities as a mentor and trainer.

• If you had to think of a role model for your work, who do you think of & why?

  Dr. Kalam has always been an inspiration. He kept his contributions flowing out despite retirement or a busy schedule in the government of India. He remains a visionary scientist, philosopher and teacher. My inspirations in the field of teaching comes from his methods of giving millions of minds a new perspective to look at the world and not just facts. He developed lives more than he developed minds. That remains to be my aim.

• Do you have an anecdote to tell us about your student or professional life?

  I had a student who struggled with the Civil Services for a long time. He had very few attempts left and approached me for some help in language. Few years down the line, I received a call from the IAS officer that called me ‘Sir'! That's one of the most memorable moments thus far. I was delighted to have come to aid of a civil servant who would go on to serve millions. To be a small part of his journey was a fulfilling experience.
