My passion is making Zoology and Cell Biology a living experience for students. Even after 32 years of teaching the subject, various aspects of our system, organs and cells still amaze and intrigue me and this love to understand living systems and their functioning, is what I hope to pass on to my students.
My love for nature has made me take many hikes, treks and trails with World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-India) to various Reserve Forests and National Parks.
The silence of nature, instilled in me a search and hunger to understand the meaning of this process called life, which led to Yoga and Meditation as a daily practice. In my free time, I volunteer at an NGO that offers these simple tools of Yoga and Meditation as a means to develop, clarity and an inner joy, independent of outside situations.
