I always discover new learning from my students. Each batch has a fresh and wonderful unique identity and something new to offer. The moment I enter a class I find their youthful energies and their spontaneous welcome very spirited, enlivening and exhilarating.
My last assignment in the Army was to set up a prestigious engineering college for the army children now well-known as the Army Institute of Technology (AIT) Pune. It was here that I realized the tremendous potential of young minds and developed a great regard and bond for them. Thereafter I took up consulting in strategy and HR and fortunately also got into into teaching.
The world of technology and networking has enabled many of my ex-students who are located in different geographies of the world to get connected. My blog too now serves as a medium of conversation and a base to share and learn from each others experience. And so I decided to add the pictures of these wonderful people (in their respective batches as we move on) who are a source of great fun and joy to me. And also to remain connected with them.
Finally I am grateful to the wonderful academic institutions who provided me with the splendid opportunity to learn and develop myself, and to share my own experience, beliefs and knowledge and connect with the young minds meaningfully. It was Tasmac where I made a beginning followed by other institutions like some of the Symbiosis institutes and The Asian School of Management.

The pictures bring back happy memories of TASMAC days. The difference for me now is that I use my brain only 20% of the time. During the Academic days I was using it about 110%. Amazing, I feel of how work life today is so mundane and boring at times. I am not sure if people elsewhere feel the same?
I love the concept of the blog as it has all the important elements that I cherish – Human Resources, Strategy and off course the Indian Defence Forces. Being a kid that has grown up in a Service Environment, I feel what I today is because of my upbringing.
And yes Great way to stay connected!

I agree with Manish in the above comment that energy and creativity when given a proper direction with an experienced hand like yours, watching their back, creates wonders.
This world of technology has really worked wonders for the adapters of it; it has broken barriers of not just time and distance but of age as well. One feels so naive reading and exploring newer technologies that are seeing the light of the day thick and fast.
Technology is power, and power corrupts. I just hope that all of us who are using this tech. understand and use it responsibly.
It is a real privilege to know you, not just as a teacher but also as a friend, philosopher and a guide.

Hey Prachiti,
Perhaps EI becomes interesting not only because it is a necessity in today’s times as also because of the ‘freewheeling’ approach we follow. Participants are candid in sharing their own experience which are enriching for all including the tutor.
My favorite question in live interview sessions is ‘how do you handle stress?’. Some of the answers from the Generation Y folks sound simple yet are very effective.
