Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

MY GURU IS MY GUIDE

Dear Smt Ameetaji,

 

 

In Hindustan Times ( 05 Sept ) , I came across your article ( Evolving, yet constant : Teacher’s role in Society ) , where you write :

 

 

“  As we move forward in this world of assistive technologies, algorithms, augmented reality and many other frontier technologies, let us remember that at

 

the heart of education are individuals who have given a great deal of themselves, often without recognition or reward “

 

 

There is no question that, in a substantive way , our characters are molded by our teachers. Decades after we leave schools / colleges , our teachers keep

 

whispering silently into our ears , as we think – speak and act

 

 

While undergoing my graduate studies ( Master in Engineering ) at University of Kansas ( 1957-58 ) , on his very first lecture, Prof. Mischke came into the

 

classroom and wrote on the blackboard :

 

 

“  The only education worth its name is Self Education 

 

 

I think his words must have prompted me when, a  few weeks ago ,  I launched >  www.My-Teacher.in

 

 

I invite you to visit this portal ( just type www.My-Teacher.in , in your mobile ) and “ EXPERIENCE “ it

 

 

It is absolutely FREE and does not require any registration or login
