I believe that children have to grow up as all-round personalities, but it cannot be at the cost of academics.

Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.

My background is that I came from a middle class family, and I think those values stay where ever you go.

What I have learnt is that it is important to pursue your passion more than your legacy; if you have a passion with a purpose, then everything else fits in.

I strongly believe in my own rights and wrongs and impose them on myself and my family.

Man not only survives and functions in his environment, he shapes it and he is shaped by it.

Use all of your senses.
