More About Me

I'm passionate about

People, cultures, countries, diversities, travel, learning, languages and many more things.

An idea worth spreading

Country should not have boundaries demarking where its limits begins and where it ends. The cause of all the wars, tensions, bloodshed etc is because of the boundaries. Can we have world without boundaries. No child in the womb takes any governmental permission whether they are permitted to be born in a particular country. We should have a concept of global citizenship. There should be respect for every culture, religion, language and should be allowed to co-exist.. There should be free movement of people across the globe. This will bring uniformity and balance.

Talk to me about

Anything under the Sun and beyond Universe. The mind is a wonderful machinery which is a storehouse for billions of ideas. Feel free to share any of your ideas for a honest feedback.

People don't know that I'm good at

Mentoring, counselling, guiding, public speaking, innovative ideas, creative imagination, networking etc.

My TED Story

My learnability has helped me go into wide variety of things and the transition was seemless. I was in food industry, then in insurance, then in BPOs and currently in Education. Each field contributed a great deal in shaping my personality. There are volumes of things that I have learnt and has also created a hunger of learning more and more.

  A reply on Conversation: 'Are students only as good as their teachers?'

  Jan 9 2012: Stanna... the bitter truth is no one can change anybody.... You have to be the change that you want to see in others and this is the only way.... some moral values like honesty, sincerity, integrity, etc have to be practiced and not preached if one really wants the others to practice
  
  If you have to preach generosity you need to be a generous person first.... I would walk on a path which I feel how the world should be... if people like it they will follow ... if they don't like it at least I am happy that I am walking on the path that i like :)

  A comment on Conversation: Can humans end world hunger?

  Jan 9 2012: If not humans who else could end world hunger? A strong volunteer force is required in food distribution... the question is not about how much country contributing how much money.... but is the money going to the right channels? Unless a strong distribution system is in place no matter how much effort is done.. the impact will be minimal

• A comment on Conversation: When does creative thinking become "insanity"?

  Jan 9 2012: Jennie.. it is said beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder... A person living with a creative idea may be completely obsessed with that and based on his behavioural patterns to the outer world he may be sounding like a mad person....
  
  Unless there is a harm to the society we should respect the creativity of such person and on the contrary go a step ahead and help him/ her realize the creativity :)

• A comment on Conversation: How much time are you searching-checking-texting-liking-blogging-tweeting-chatting-messaging? Are your devices becoming a vice for you?

  Jan 9 2012: Hi Charlotte, it is how one takes it and makes use of such things. Like fire can bring down a house and at the same time cook the food similarly if things are channelized properly they will prove boon.
  
  Lets not forget this is a 'Screen-Ager' and we have to live with it.:)

• A comment on Conversation: What are the first few steps to figuring out what to do with your life when the choices are so vast?

  Jan 9 2012: The more yout think the more are the chances of getting confused. The answer to the questions you have raisd be summed up in just two words i.e. 'Be Foccused'..... once you know what you want there is nothing which can confuse.
  
  You may have noticed that typically when we go to big malls where umpteen choices are there wihch leaves one confused. If the choice is more focused things can be dealt with more easily

• A reply on Conversation: Is man an endangered species?

  Jan 9 2012: Unless the earth blasts into minute fragments there is nothing as such to worry. Again this possibility can also not be ruled out. But then it might happen after several thousand years.
  
  Man has a limit till which he can control things and beyond it everything is at the mercy of the nature..... so why worry for things which we cannot control

• A reply on Conversation: Is man an endangered species?

  Jan 9 2012: The longevity of human beings have increased due to advent and research of new medicines. However the quality of life is a big issue.
  
  Existence of human species is no problem ... the only question is in next 1000 years how many other species will he make extinct. ..... Lions, tigers etc are in the brink of extinction
