Respectful, Affectionate and the Mean Machines I have been lucky to have wonderful students, some who stood by my side in the worst of times (I mean office politics), some who were extremely respectful and some extremely affectionate. And of course there were some mean machines, very much fit for the hyper competitive MNC but not fit to inspire trust and collaborate.  Some of my students have given me lifetime memories and some have inspired me in amazing ways. I began full time teaching in 2004 at ICFAI, Pondicherry. One student I particularly remember from those days is Midhunalaksmi, who was respectful till the end and still stayed away from the loyalty and political games. Such a balance is very rare these days.  I shall always remember Prakash Upadhyay for the immense professional courage he always displayed. Being assertive without becoming aggressive is a tough job but he maintained that balance beautifully.  Varun Vyas has that ‘Never say die’ spirit ...

A friend of mine rightly remarked, "A teacher is one who is eternally a student, when he is not, the student becomes the teacher." I had recently put this on Facebook and my students have sent interesting comments. "When I thought I had found all the answers, life posed another question" I got very unexpected responses from my students. Here are some of them. Shikha Aggarwal Sir life is full of questions..and mind is full of them Varun Dhanda Life doesn't ask questions. It answers them :)) Mohit Ahuja One small philosophy of my own... "U are the answer to all your questions!” Dheera Likhi When there will be no questions left to be chased then don't u think life will be little monotonous and pointless rather lifeless. Nicole Gomes Life keeps testing people! I must say, students are maturing early these days. ________________________________________________ Dr Amit Nagpal is an Author, Trainer, Coach, Visiting Faculty & ...
