Embracing Vulnerability with Courage
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again because there is no […]
Reflections from 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged classroom dynamics and affected education systems worldwide when governments decided to close educational institutions temporarily. During this time, technology came to us as a rescue. It helped us continue the teaching-learning process virtually and equipped educators and learners with tools that were the need of the hour. It transformed an entire […]
To New Beginnings
Every year we habitually and customarily usher in new year with a lot of pomp, glory, splendor and merrymaking. New year to many simply does not mark a change in the calendar month but it is also the beginning of new dreams, hopes, plans, goals, resolutions, something to look forward to, something to drive us […]
सबक
‘रहिमन विपदा ही भली, जो थोरे दिन होए | हित-अनहित या जगत में, जानि परत सब कोय ||’ विख्यात कवि रहीमदास जी के इस दोहे में बहुत ही गूढ़ बात छिपी हुई है, जिसकी सार्थकता हम वर्ष 2020 में देख सकते हैं | इस साल हमने हमारे आसपास के लोगों और सबसे महत्वपूर्ण प्रकृति का […]
Adapting to the new normal
Sometimes life throws us in paradoxical situations! And this is certainly the first of its kind for many generations. For many people who toil day in and out and often yearn hopelessly to find time to stay at home, to just while away their time and do nothing, perhaps not go to work for some […]

“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcolm X Learning has always remained the key factor in shaping one’s future. Irrespective of colour, caste, creed, or sect, education among the masses has been considered as the cornerstone of the growth of a nation. This […]
Change is inevitable!
“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable”, said Mary Oliver. The prevailing chaotic and fatal time was least anticipated. Man thought he is powerful and knowledgeable; he could overcome any crisis but nature has a different plan. Life slowed down but learning continued and will continue. Teachers were, are, and will always be […]
The Vote of Thanks
For which event you ask? It’s the “COVID OUTWITTED”! Where you ask? In the auditorium of your homes! When you ask? 40 days of lockdown! It is always my deepest honor, privilege, and pleasure to propose the vote of thanks, so much so that I’ve come to be known as the vote of thanks person! […]
My Experience with Quarantine
Lockdown has unlocked many things and has given us the opportunity to explore ourselves and our community too! It was unplanned; no stock of groceries, no stock of vegetables, no messages from household help or supplier of milk and life has suddenly paused. We were better off at work as we had some basic plans in […]
