MY LIFE

My career began where my education ended, in the classroom.
Since 2012, my academic journey has been driven by a deep commitment to the transformative potential of education. Over the years, I have developed strong leadership abilities while cultivating a culture of academic excellence and innovation. During this period, I also came to appreciate the profound influence that effective communication and thoughtful teaching methodologies can have in shaping and inspiring young minds.My commitment to education extends beyond the traditional classroom. As a seasoned Assistant Professor of Business Communication and Mass Media at Vidyalankar School of Information Technology, where the pursuit of knowledge, innovation, and character development converge, I embraced the dynamic intersection of technology and communication, preparing students not only for their professional endeavors but also to be thoughtful contributors to our global society.
My academic journey of 14 wholesome years is rooted in a deep appreciation for languages; being multilingual in English, Tamil, Hindi, Marathi and French has allowed me to connect with diverse communities. This linguistic versatility has been a cornerstone while venturing into the realm of theology where I found a profound connection between my love for language and the exploration of profound questions about existence. Writing has become my compass in navigating these intellectual landscapes. My belief in the power of the written word to unravel complexities and inspire critical thinking fuels my aspiration to contribute to the field of theology through my words.
In my role as an educator, leader, and writer, I am driven by a commitment to fostering holistic growth. Beyond academia, you might find me engrossed in literature, participating in community outreach programs, or exploring avenues where education intersects with technology. My story is one of continuous learning, growth, and a deep-seated belief in the transformative potential of education. It’s been a fulfilling journey hitherto. I’m waiting to see what life teaches me next.

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….
