Could you tell us briefly about your family background?

Born in Mumbai to a bussiness man Father and a mother, who was a fantastic homemaker, I was the second of four, the other three being boys.My eldest brother is a doctor, while the other two run the family business, "Bandra Medical Stores" and "Nairs Medicals", both in Bandra, Mumbai.

Changes In The Professional Environment:

Earlier things were spoon fed, now it is mostly comprehensive and researchable. Students have greater intellect in modern technology,but the reading habit has gone down considerably.Google, Facebook etc. have replaced reading.

Working Life Management:

Every job has its plus and minus points. So when you excel in one the other side does show a dent. Yet, with support and understanding one can balance work and home.

Done Differently:

I surely wouldn't hesitate to grab opportunities that come my way,nor forsake my pleasures for others selfish needs.Thus I would climb the ladder of success faster than I did now.

Degrees That Matter:

Basically a graduation and if possible a post graduation, peppered with tons of enthusiasm, hardwork, and the right attitude.

Other Thoughts:

No matter what your age, you should always be updating yourself, and not stick to one goal achievemnt, like one book published or an actor who starred in one movie.

Required Reading:

Self motivating and self help books, facebook and the links got therein,Readers Digest, Frozen Thoughts etc.

Growth Strategy:

I have joined the association of JCI, and come up to the National Level within the stipulated time,This gives me opportunities for a lot of training. I love to take exams that will pivot me higher. I run my own Institute at Valapad, and impart knowledge in Motivation, Time Management etc.

The Decisions That Matter

I decided to continue my studies where I had dropped off, and work to be on my own, without depending on anyone.

Role Model:

My Mother(late) is my role model. She is the one who taught us to reach for the stars and GET Them...Inspite of the oppositions we might have to face.

Career Profile:

I am responsible for the welfare of the students under me, and have to be alert about their accademic excellence. In my previous profile, I was only interested in imparting my knowledge, without bothering to see if the students have understood.

Advice For New Professionals:

They should be more dedicated to the job undertaken, always be updated, and continue being updated,as far as possible not get into any altercation with the boss or others in the workplace.
