Mathematics and Life 47 Identifying and developing passion

 Identifying and developing passion


Passion, popularly known as lagan in India, means what you prefer to do and want to be skilled at it. You may or may not make it your career too.


Being oblivious of terms like career, market demand and so on for a long time in my life (still I do not think I am much good about understanding both), one thing I was sure about and kept telling all that I would like to keep learning on the go for my entire life. That time, in the mid 1970s, in our minds, study was associated with getting a job. 


Nearly that time, came Future Shock by Alwin Toffler who professed to learn, unlearn and relearn as the survival skills. Near the same time, I read Lata Mangeshkar ji interview in Parag, that time a popular choice of the adolescents, in which she said that the real fun is being a learner for the entire life. These two great people impacted me a lot and till date, I am into reading, writing, learning from life, people, videos, social media and every other possible platform. 


Getting into B. Ed., even after passing M. Sc. (Statistics) was a logical thing to do, which went on to become, M. Ed., UGC(NET) and a Ph. D. Education in 1997. My elder daughter, Snehal who is M. Tech.(Artificial Intelligence) often appreciates my adapting the latest technology gadget, way of working. This all is because I am passionate about learning.


Nowadays, I am passionate about helping teachers to come out of the job, fixed income, security mindset and begin some side hustle to raise it to be a venture in reasonable time. The reader is welcome to explore possibilities through the Rich Teacher 5 Day workshop. 


Once you are dedicated, passionate about teaching, love for the work, kids is a natural outcome. Which infects them too. They also take assignments, Projects equally seriously.


But the question is how to find, discover, your passion ? IKIGAI is Japanese way of finding your passion

Like all good virtues, being passionate is highly infectious. Get infected and spread it …...when COVID can, why not virtues ?

My Journey as a Maths Teacher – Part 2

  🧒 From Grade 3 to Guiding Future Teachers It gives me immense pleasure to be of some help to my younger mathematics teaching colleagues like Shruti Goel, Laly, Preeti Garg, Misha Nambiar, Rajendra Paliwal , and many others—across subjects and across schools. But things weren’t always this way. 📘 The Indore Phase – Simplicity, Struggle, and Silent Growth After leaving Mumbai in 1988, I served as a school teacher at Choithram School, Indore , till 1992. I even taught Grades 3 to 5 in a single session . Yet, the spirit was always high. I loved taking classes, creating activity sheets, and even wrote articles I mailed to U.S. education journals —long before emails were common. If there was one shortcoming I admit, it was in checking large stacks of answer books. I often rationalised, “I’m a creative person, so it’s okay.” In hindsight, it wasn’t—but the honesty helped me grow. 🔄 The Decade of Churn (1988–1997) It was a whirlwind decade. Imagine this combination: Ph.D. ...
