Concerned citizen, Educator/Teacher, Life mentor

After serving my country for more than three decades, at this juncture of my life, I feel that I need to continue serving my Nation. Given the speed with which the world is changing, I feel extremely concerned about the responsibility that a section of the society has in ensuring that this great country's children are shown the correct path. To be a cog in the wheel of nation building is what my passion continues to be.

In the last few years, the most amount of changes that humanity has come across is through the study of language and communication. Hence, I believe that to know the art of using language in the most diverse ways is something that has become central to success and fulfillment.

Administrative Management, Kalaripyattu, Public Speaking

As I joined the CHIREC International School as the Vice Principal (Administrations), I came to know about CHIREC's association with TEDx. As I myself, am extremely passionate about public speaking, and I also see how public speaking is the most important feature of a student who is aiming to be a global citizen. I have been watching my fellow colleagues and seniors from the Indian Army delivering Ted talks and here I am trying to organize one.

Kalaripyattu, the Indian style Martial Arts is something that I have spent considerable time with passion. Not many people know that I have even performed it on stage along with my fellow learners.
