MY LIFE

“Education is not the learning of facts, it’s rather the training of the mind to think…”

Konkan…a place that conjures up images of long stretches of clean beaches, huge varieties of fish delicacies, narrow winding roads, rice fields and small beautiful villages. A huge portion of my childhood till the SSC was spent in one such beautiful place called Devgad.

Time Management was inculcated in us organically, as we used to follow a disciplined lifestyle. Early morning farming, school at noon and playing cricket in the evening, all resulted in understanding time management and eventually following it.

Teachers played an important role in building my confidence. Their motivation encouraged me to participate in various elocution competition and now, I believe that I enjoy hosting and anchoring at various college functions.

I shifted to Mumbai for Higher studies in 1995 and admitted in Khalsa college to pursue B.Sc. in Physics. Compact spaces in Mumbai made me learn two most important things of life:

  • “sharing is caring”
  • Adjustment

 

During my college days, I started performing in college plays. One of the best moments of my life is when I was awarded as the “Best Actor” for the role of a teacher. It never crossed my mind at that time that the role in the drama will become my future aspiration.

My career as a teacher began when I joined Khalsa college as a lecturer. Sharing and learning from professors was an achievement for me.

After 4 years, Dr. Ajit Naik wanted me to become part of the “Brand in Education” in Vidyalankar School of Information Technology.

It was different world for me that emphasized on technology, student centric approach and student delight. These policies updated me to teacher 2.0. Vidyalankar works sincerely towards student’s expectations and nurturing each one of them to achieve their goals aesthetically.

I have not missed single NSS camp in my life. NSS develops a student to become an independent and proactive human being of a society.

I was a Student Council convenor for 5 years that evolved me as a leader as I conducted various activities. I am still in touch with my council students who are alumni now.

I am also handling the admission process of VSIT from the last 5 years with 100% admission status. During this time, parents and students are anxious related to their future, subject and many more general things. Guiding them through the admission process and solving their queries is one of my priorities.

I am also heading the Electronics and Mathematics Cluster of IT Dept. that includes many beyond syllabus activities like Bridge courses, Industrial Visits, Guest lectures, Value Added Courses for the betterment of the students.

Being born in a family where both of my parents were doctors, I was expected to take up medicine as my career. So just like every middle class family my career was decided even before I could learn to speak. During my school and college days I was an above average student but when it came to giving my entrance test for medical somehow I could not manage to get admission in Mumbai and again due to family restrictions I could not go to Yavatmal where I managed secure an M.B.B.S seat. But life does not stop right? So I was expected to prepare for medical entrance one more time. I wished to go for Engineering and brought my admission form as well but was persuaded against it. So to not waste my year I was made to take admission to B.Sc. in the same college where I completed my HSc and that was a turning point for me.

During graduation I was lucky enough to be taught by teachers who inspired me not just to understand what I like but also to take a stand for what I like. So I decided to complete my education in Electronics even after getting B.D.S. seat in a college in Navi Mumbai after my second attempt of the medical entrance. This time I was persistent and confident enough to do what I like and was ready to take all the responsibility of that. So I continued my education while working part time as tutor, because if the choice is yours, so is its responsibility.

During my graduation I realized that, it is more important to know various opportunities around us than to be stuck with a single choice. Unlike our parents’ time, these days we have large number of opportunities, but we lack is proper guidance to explore them. Also one needs to make his own decisions and not just that should be able to work hard to achieve their goal. This thought inspired me to become a teacher and I did my Masters in Electronics and completed B.Ed. I wished to be the torch that today’s kids need in the world full of opportunities. I wanted to tell them that career does not end only because you missed one opportunity, but this also does not mean that we stop taking our career seriously. We can be more alert and grab the next opportunity that comes in our way and again make a comeback in the race of life. So what are we waiting for? ON YOUR MARK. GET-SET-AND GO….
