What has been the biggest milestone in your academic journey?
When a student scores a 3 and a 4 in the beginning but is very consistent, towards the end, they end up getting scores beyond my expectations. And there are quite a few students where I have seen it happen. My confidence also increases so I also work hard. Because a topper will be there even if you don’t put much effort but if an average or below average student is going beyond a level, then that becomes an achievement.

Was there any prank that your students did on you?

Most of the time the kids were in COVID so they were only available online. So yes, I remember Aanya Garg. I was teaching them (I think she was in grade 9 at that time) and I was having an online class.
Suddenly, Mr. Modi’s face pops up and I’m wondering when did Mr. Modi start studying in my class. And it was Aanya Garg... Everyone burst into laughter!
