I am passionate about education above all other things. I am a strong believer in the power of knowledge. Most problems in the world can be solved if people had the right information and understood the correct things by the time they are taking action. This is why I champion proper learning through different experiences.

Idea: Collaboration Collaboration may be an effective tool when used to tackle complicated challenges by bringing together various perspectives, skills, and resources. By encouraging an atmosphere of open communication and trust, people and organisations may work together to generate creative and useful solutions that benefit all stakeholders. Collaborative problem-solving improves outcomes and develops a sense of shared accountability and community. By realising and embracing the significance of collaboration as a core methodology, we may foster a more egalitarian and resilient society.

My best TED story is probably the most memorable of all the hundreds of talks I have watched is the talk by Jay Samit titled ITS TIME TO DISTRUP YOU ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1SlbTZyaWE ). I have probably listened to this talk over a hundred times or more in the last 4 years just to keep reminding myself how things change and that disruption happens to all of us. The sooner we accept change the sooner we can appreciate new found experiences and new lessons in life. I would highly recommend you to watch that talk.

Wow. Most people don't know I am good at cooking.
