About

Lifelong student and always want to be "Work In Progress".

Ceasing to learn is ceasing to breathe - Anonymous.

I would like to follow the footsteps of my father who is a teacher, even today he gets excited to teach to a primary school kid or teaching spiritual leaders on Bhagavad Gita and his life deeply inspired me. When I find time, I do take multiple split personality of being a teacher to students and being a student to students and learn from them. I do give guest lectures and technology talks on areas that are little known to me. I love being a teacher not only to teach but also to learn.

Want to be lifelong student and share my knowledge with others. When I find time, I scribble a lot in my blog to express my thoughts and get my views validated.
