When I danced for a scene from Ramayana in my college days during a competition, I realized I
am much more than me. That a character can have a life larger than you and take you to a more
enriching world and that amazing things can flow through you if you are open to it.
When I did Surya Namashkar one morning and felt like the whole universe was with me. Like
this kriya was in tune with the universe.
When I took care of my mom after her surgery, I realized that it is giving that we receive. It was
a profound experience.

the only Indian. So I had to make a lot of perceptional shifts and eventually made some good friends. I
exercised some skills of persuasion, effective communication, empathy when I did a dance
choreography with them.
I feed my street dogs when I pass by them. I include them in my feeding family

Some significant teaching / learning experiences that you have had? (Some detail of time & context)
My entire lifestyle took a shift. I realized people learn more from your being than you talking. Love is a
great way to build bridges for learning and all honest and productive communication. With love, true
opening of the minds happen too. It takes courage to be fair.
How would you call a teaching practice effective? Please elaborate with examples.
When the content to be covered actually comes from the students through questions that induce critical
thinking, then it is an effective teaching. When the teacher co creates the session with the students
instead of a one sided monologue, the teaching becomes effective. Please have a look at the below
video to have an understanding of what is conveyed. That would be a fine example for what I have
mentioned here.
