Mathematics and Life 58 1992 when it all started

 1992 when it all started


Happy to share the first brochure I created to launch my first venture Maths Centre. As you may, the core idea has been the same, although with time and experience, the terminology has become more appropriate. 




Also, see the fee and discount discussion and enjoy the naive thinking of a FGL (First Generation of Learner) in the traditionally job minded family or community. Maharashtrian Bramhins have been known to be good thinker, planner, policy makers but as a part of their job. Few ventured, at that time in Indore, into entrepreneurship that too in this type of services in education sector.


There was just a feeling to do something unique and different, unlike the rat race of tutoring, coaching which my most contemporaries did quite well and never understood, and never wanted too, why I didn't take up that route ? 


Today when I see my past 35+ years of career, I wonder if not being money minded was an asset or a liability for me. Still essentially I have to convince myself hard on commercialising my ideas. Perhaps high time to find someone do it for me. 


I will be sharing many more such past works with the objectives to showcase longevity of the core thought, to inspire readers to get ready made articles, posters, pamphlets to use……and to excite youngsters to join the evolving work to have a great shared future.

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. ...
