Episode 4 of Where Passion Meets Education (WPME) host Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Sunil Malhotra.

Sunil Malhotra’s entrepreneurial experience spans Design, Manufacturing and Information Technology. A thought leader in Design Thinking and Exponential Transformation, Sunil founded Ideafarms to bring industrial design to ICT.

On the 7th of July 2024 Sunil joined us at My Good School and talked about his latestbook YOGAi, a result of the author’s professional experience, embellished by interactions with Dr. Karan Singh, Ervin Laszlo, Satish Kumar, John Maeda, Salim Ismail and other luminaries, making it a well-rounded treatise on the interplays of Yoga and Ai. When the dust settles on the hype around Ai, the world is likely to remain wildly unpredictable. Use this book as a starting point for understanding the human quest for truth, and creating technologies wisely to make our lives richer and the world a better place.

"You teach best what you most need to learn." ~Richard Bach

Sunil and Sandeep talk about learning, thinking and growing up. Eastern philosophy and Western thought, how the two work together in the world today, and why Indian philosophy is way advanced. He believes that knowledge must be free to flow and help build a world of higher-order thinking, unlike in the West, where ownership of knowledge is the key to their profiteering and intellectual property is treated as the wealth of people and organisations. The oldest Upnishads may be as old as 8th century BC, and this ancient reservoir of knowledge will always be the core of any learning for civilisations to come, their message and understanding has not been truly captured in the unlimited number of books and western literature.

The Upanishads present a vision of an interconnected universe with a single, unifying principle behind the apparent diversity in the cosmos, any articulation of which is called brahman. Within this context, the Upanishads teach that brahman resides in the atman, the unchanging core of the human individual. - Wikipedia

Starting from Upanishads, to schools, how children learn and what is the way forward for education the podcast in a matter of 15 plus mintutes touches on the core of the human learning systems as they exist today and what lies ahead. We need to unlearn first, and not be hostage to the industrial age school system, which much like an industrial proecss indoctrinates and robs every indivudal of #JoyOfLearning.

Design as a philosophy, as a tool, is with every individual, a true designer just delves within, we design our own lives and move on. What bubbles up, passion needs to come within yourself, mind is all powerful, free ourselves and use the mind as an insturment, true passion evolves.

Freeing the mind, is that education? This pushed Sunil into another world and the coversation is all yours to listen to!

‘Victims of education’, the problem is that the education system uses words, that only gives us literacy. You need to learn for life, we must demolish the entire school system.

Talking about teaching and learning, does learning come before teaching? It obviously does and Sunil corroborates how. From mother tongue and perfect communication before going to school to the vagaries of the system, there is a need to unlearn. Signs of optimism and why Sunil wrote the book YOGAi.

"We can’t change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust the sails.”

YOGAi makes Ai approachable by contextualising the evolution of technology. These technologies have crept upon us, even without our noticing, and yet when it comes to leveraging them, we still have a tendency to shy away. Technologies with broad, general applications in their early stages take an inordinate amount of time to emerge, but eventually their power becomes self-evident, and they take hold over society in disruptive ways.Another goal of YOGAi is to make you accessible to yourself by contextualising the evolution of the human mind. Attention is brought to Yoga, narrowly understood as physical exercises from India, which in fact are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Yoga serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery, enabling individuals to explore their innermost selves and cultivate a deeper understanding of their identities, purpose, and connections to the world. Ultimately, the convergence of Yoga and Ai represents a pathway towards realising human potential and creating a more equitable and sustainable world for all.

Let us togther cocreate space for passion and learning to blossom, this would be the true meaning of education, and we will be fair to the young people whose future is at stake in the hands of the policy makers and institutions that are more business models and less about #JoyOfLearning.

Note-taking and sharing reflections are two different activities with distinct purposes: by Learning Forward India Foundation.Recording your thoughts and spreading your insights are unique tasks, each with its intentions and outcomes.

Note-taking: - Involves recording information, ideas, or insights from a lesson, lecture, or reading.

Focuses on capturing facts, concepts, and details.
Helps with memory retention, review, and reference.
It is often done individually.

Sharing reflections: - Involves sharing thoughts, opinions, or insights about what has been learned.

Focuses on making connections, analysing, and evaluating information.
Encourages critical thinking, synthesis, and application.
Often done collaboratively or publicly, such as in a discussion or blog post.

While note-taking is primarily about capturing information, sharing reflections is about processing, interpreting, and sharing perspectives.- Source www.JoyOfLearningDiaries.com

Episode 3 of Where Passion Meets Education (WPME) host Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Amardeep Singh.

24th July 2024

“Today’s episode is a special release in honour of my Guru, my mother, who celebrates 84 years of spreading #JoyOfLearning.” - Sandeep DuttSnehlata at EBD Since 1971

"I understand that "Brewing Knowledge" means a lot to you. It's not just a blog about books and authors; it's a platform that inspires and encourages people to keep learning and growing. I truly believe that knowledge should be shared generously, and I appreciate your efforts in making that happen. Let's cherish #BrewingKnowledge and share the wealth with others." Snehlata at The English Book Depot, India's premier bookstore since 1923.

Amardeep Singh co-founded Lost Heritage Productions and the Oneness In Diversity Research Foundation. ‘Lost Heritage Productions’ is a Singapore-based visual media production house led by a Singapore-based couple, Amardeep Singh and Vininder Kaur. It is focused on research and documentation of forgotten legacies.

Born in Gorakhpur, Amardeep Singh attended The Doon School. He studied Electronics Engineering at the Manipal Institute of Technology and received a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Chicago, USA. He now lives in Singapore. Having worked in the Financial Services sector for 25 years, he has led the Asia Pacific Region at American Express for Revenue Management of the Credit Card business.

Since 2014, he has dedicated himself to visual ethnographic research. He has authored two books, ‘Lost Heritage, The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan’ and ‘The Quest Continues: Lost Heritage, The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan’. He has also made a few documentary films on the remnants of the Sikh legacy remnants in Pakistan.

Amardeep has led a cross-border team to create a 24-episode docuseries, “Allegory, A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels, "available on www.TheGuruNanak.com.

Passion, purpose, and what is work?Work, eat, sleep, recharge, and get to work again! The world is all about consumption; for Amardeep, Passion must work like the sea waves—ebb and tide. He shares what Passion means for him, his life, and his work, leaving a poignant message for young people. Amardeep is a harbinger of ‘Oneness’ and shares Guru Nanak’s life and work. He moved from being a banker to an avid traveller, tracing the footsteps of Guru Nanak.

We must go beyond the life of building bank balances to find fulfilment in life, what Passion means to us, and any activity that resonates within oneself and acts as a catalyst for developing one’s mind to achieve what your heart wishes. We pursue things close to us, do not mindlessly follow emotions, take activities, and yes, you are uncontrollable beyond reasoning. Overcome barriers, and when you pursue a passion, you will unfurl your life's purpose.

Where do education and Passion intervene?PassionBeyond formal education, you must have a lifelong pursuit. Passion pushes you into a mode of self-learning without any expectations. Do not follow Passion; developing passions is essential; you must become the Passion. Amardeep picks up photography, musicology, and languages, and he is sure that you reach a pinnacle and stop; moving on and layering passions is the key to always staying in every learning mode; this is the true purpose of education: being a lifelong learner. Energy shuts down doors, and behold, grace will come to you, and you will work for your holistic development. A Ven Diagram of Education and Passion will create a new ‘You’ at the intersection.

Looking back at his life at school He may be an average student; his report cards may even show below-average grades. Excellence will come only when you turn your entire attention to it. Worldly aspects keep going, picking up the layers and growing up to a humble and successful life. Young people must understand that life is long and not get perturbed by their current state or time; they must keep collecting the moments and build a chain of thought and action to make their lives.

Please tune in for the joy and successes and reflect on life as more than being educated at school. Sandeep uses the metaphor of building a chain from the moments of life to explain how Passion fuels life and how we move up to find our spiritual selves.

Oneness In Diversity Research Foundation supports My Good School; Amardeep is our visiting Professor! He mentors young people at our school and attends school with us once a month. We screen an episode of his docu-series and reflect on the teachings of Guru Nanak as an integral part of our core curriculum at My Good School.

Listen to this meaningful and engaging discussion where Amardeep explains the purpose behind his endeavours, dwells upon the beauty of taking up journeys in life, and contemplates the effect of this magic on one and all.

Welcome to the second episode of Where Passion Meets Education (WPME), a podcast from the heart with success stories about schools and schooling.

Christa Campsall of My Guide Inside shares how her passion and the making of My Guide Inside gave her tremendous inner joy—not just vanilla happiness. The three Principles she mentions—your Mind, Thought, and Action—make you. To find your passion come to life, at the heart is the heart!

Christa Campsall, BEd, Dip|SpEd, MA, is a teacher who engages with students and educators at home and in the global community. She enjoys coaching, leading, and supporting the implementation of My Guide Inside (MGI) in classrooms and school systems.

In the podcast, you will learn that you have a guide inside you. Listen to your inner self—you may call it gut feel—and this is where passion is born. Twain shall meet, the inside and outside, for the fire of the love within to come alive. Your self-coaching, leading and supporting the implementation will bring joy to your learning.

‘Natural wisdom’ is the apple of the eye part of our show, as if it were a video! Looking back, she would do it. Christa mentions chapters of her life; she did a fabulous job as a special educator. Thus, the story is about one young person who was very special, and she was able to help that one child with ‘where passion meets education’.

The idea of offering the 3 Principles Curriculum as a guide for the growing-up years is unique. The Special student was passionate about studying the brain; she would do anything to make her passion come to life. Christa’s course helped her find herself by reading true stories and case studies. The girl was able to further her studies and is today in year four of her graduation—her fourth year in university.

My Guide Inside brings out the best in all learners.

“The principles are . . . universal and ingrained just in a way that I live my life. . . . I almost don’t even need to go back and reflect because it applies to every aspect of my reality. The fundamental spirit of what we were learning [three years ago in high school] from My Guide Inside is both awareness of self and compassion for others.” University Student, Canada, 2021

Natural Wisdom is the only way to build a narrative where passion meets education. Understand your inner core—this takes a while—and stand on solid ground, which is valid universally. Passion keeps growing and is beyond culture; it is a universal understanding.

‘Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field; I will meet you there.’

The quote by Rumi pretty much sums up the idea behind ‘Rockstar’. Rockstar is a beautiful reminder that life is filled with love and loss. No matter how much we try to control our fate, it’s all written down for us. We can enjoy our time with the people we love and look back at those beautiful memories of love and happiness. After all, life is too short to cry over lost things.

Join Simar and Oshi this month as they discuss about the hidden beauty of Rockstar. It is a magical tale of a carefree youngster searching for ‘pain’ to create meaningful music. His discovery that life is an epitome of pain, a symphony of love, loss, regret and a few happy memories.

"Feminism isn't about making women stronger—women are already strong—it's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." ― G.D. Anderson.

Season 12 and Episode 9 are here yet again! ‘These will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We'll all become somebody's mom or dad. But right now, these moments are not stories. And in this moment, we are infinite.’Isn’t it strange how quickly time flies? One moment, you are young and full of life, curious about everything and everyone. The littlest of things give you pleasure. Enter- the real world. We all tend to lose our quirkiness, love for life, and all the small things life offers. We work, and we run; we run as fast as we can to be the first, sometimes even losing ourselves on the way. Old age, however, gives us a second chance. It's a It's from nature. It allows us to revisit our childhood and experience human dependency at its best.

Harish is an alumnus of BITS Pilani and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. An avid marketer, he has helped create many successful Tata brands. He writes extensively and is a columnist for The Hindu Business Line and Mint. Autor of #TATASTORIES: 40 timeless tales to inspire you. Tatastories is a collection of little-known stories of individuals, events and places from the Tata Group that have shaped the India we live in today. We ask Harish questions about the book and why the Tata Group is deeply respected and valued for its contribution to the growth and development of India. Harish highlighted the words of Jamsetji Tata in the book. He said the community is not just another stakeholder in business but is, in fact, the very purpose of its existence and throughout the numerous tales. In another book, Tatalog, it is particularly emphasised that the DNA of every TATA enterprise is a combination of pioneering, purposive, moral and ‘not perfect’. While reading #TATASTORIES, a feeling that is uniform for many is that we feel like a participant and not mere passive observers. Dancing across this long arc of time are thousands of beautiful, astonishing Tata Stories, many of which can inspire and provoke us, even move us to meaningful action in our own lives. These stories bring to vivid life the extraordinary longevity, vibrancy and success of Tata.

Joy Of Learning Season 14 Episode 1 - Recording of the session hosted at The Fabindia School as a part of the Learning Forward India Academy Professional Learning Program, focusing on Reading, Reflection and Relationships. The teachers, young and old, new and experienced, and young people take time to explore Values and take their learning forward. Take time to capture the values that people who know you would use to describe you. How do others perceive you, and what values are present or absent in their minds? Would these values be different depending on the context, e.g. as a work colleague, parent, wife/husband/partner? Be honest with yourself. Are our values always positive traits? I was once asked about the expression of anger and whether it should be considered a value. Does anger feature as a value in your list, and if so, how do you deal with it?Joy Of Learning (JOL) comes from The Little Book of Values: Educating Children to Become Thinking, Responsible and Caring Citizens by Julie Duckworth and Ian Gilbert, exploring twenty-two values taught through schools. We live in a society consumed by materialism and the desire for more. The future of education rests on immutable values: Appreciation, Caring, Cooperation, Courage, Freedom, Friendship, Happiness, Honesty, Hope, Humility, Love, Patience, Peace, Quality, Respect, Responsibility, Simplicity, Thoughtfulness, Tolerance, Trust, Understanding, and Unity. This program will inspire you by using examples of where the values are already being used by children and adults in schools and share practical tools to stimulate discussion and philosophical debate. It will also help people take stock of their values and how they wish to lead their lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learningforward/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/learningforward/support

My Good School Show Season 9, Episode 18 where passion meets education. This beautiful conversation where Anvesha delves on the value of caring and Rishona and Divisha share their take on Caring. Rishona: Caring definitely does help others. When someone cares for you, you feel like there is someone out in the world who believes that you matter. It is a feeling of joy and happiness for that person. Caring is shown out of friendship, compassion and selflessness. A caring classroom is where students feel positively connected to others. That simple act can give them a sense of optimism and help solve their little problems. And what is in it for us? How does it help and benefit us? Well, seeing one smile puts a thousand smiles on my face. The fact that I have helped someone out or just given them the joy they needed and filled in the gap in their life, makes me happy as it is. As said, never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world, for indeed, that’s all who ever have. Anvesha: Absolutely just how self love is one of the most important kinds of love, self care is also as vital as caring for others. If you cannot care for yourself then you will not be capable enough to care for others. Everything starts with you, when you decide to help yourself you will end up helping others as well. So caring for self is as important as caring for others. Anvesha: Divisha whom do you care for the most ? Divisha : I care for my family and friends the most but yeah I care about my friends a little bit more because in my family it's just me, my parents and grandparents. Since they are elders they can take care of themselves. But, my friends are the people whom I have to take care of. It's been 7 years since our friendship. Many things change but one thing never changes, Them having problems and I have solutions. The fact that I'm the youngest among them still I Am more mature. Anvesha: And with that, we come to the end of our podcast. Comment below and let us know if you liked our podcast. If you want to be a part of similar podcasts, join us.

Learning Forward Podcast Season 10, Episode 18, produced by the students at My Good School, where passion meets education. The Program is brought to you by the students and interns who spread the joy of learning, focusing on reading, writing and speaking. In our podcast, we have Mr Jayant Kapatker. He graduated from IIT, Kanpur, and has worked in India, Nepal, Spain, Australia, and the USA. He is the founder and CEO of STAM Interactive Solutions. Many of us deem science and spirituality as separate realities, but once we observe, ponder and implore upon the fine lines, we discover that science and Vedanta share a common ground. The interconnection of science with Vedanta can bring about a dramatic change in the way we perceive and understand the universe. For over 15 years, Jayant attended Vedanta classes with dedication and passion at the Arsha Bodha Center in New Jersey. This experience was life-changing. Assimilating this knowledge and going deeper into the subject has become the main focus of his life. During this exciting journey, he has seen many connections between science and Vedanta. In 2014, he began writing essays to show us how the teachings of Vedanta can help us add a new dimension to the scientific understanding of the universe. Many people who followed and read these essays suggested that he should compile them in a book. Thus was born Science Meets Vedanta.

Are your school years the best years of your life? The perception of whether or not one's school years are the best years of their life can vary significantly among individuals. For some, high school may be a time filled with fond memories, fulfilling friendships, and exciting experiences. However, for others, high school may be associated with challenges, stress, and difficult transitions. Therefore, it is crucial to recognise that the experiences and perspectives of individuals differ, and there is no universally applicable answer to whether school years are the best. Tune in to the 3rd episode of 2 Girls, 1 Mic to listen to three teenagers discovering life. In this episode, they discuss their personal experiences and perspectives on whether their school years have been the best years of their life. Their exciting take on this age-old question can bring you back to your school years or even help you make the most of them right now! Lastly, we would love to hear about your school days too! Mention your stories and anecdotes in the comment section, and we will be delighted to listen to them! Thank you, My Good School, for giving us this fantastic opportunity.

Learning, Forward Podcast Season 9 Episode 17

Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, then don’t keep it a secret. Appreciating people, bringing a smile on their face can help them in unimaginable ways sometimes. Even when everything in one’s life is crumbling, a little gratitude and appreciation can go a long way. Life hits you hard sometimes, and as humans we all need to be there for each other. We need to help people realise that they are worthy of our love and our gratitude, simply by appreciating them from time to time. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction right! If we appreciate others, they will also appreciate us back. That one little action can produce a chain reaction that is everlasting.Tune into this beautiful podcast where Anvesha and Simar ponder upon the importance and necessity of Appreciation. Listen as Oshi and Arfa share their take on Appreciation, how it has helped them and why they perceive it as magic.

Honesty and Integrity – are two invaluable qualities essential for success in life. And the best part is that everyone can teach both qualities in themselves. While honesty is telling the truth to others, integrity is being honest and sincere to ourselves. These two qualities are mutually significant. 2 Girls 1 Mic Part 2 Join Oshi and Simar as they ponder the importance of honesty and integrity.

My Good School Show Season 9, Episode 17, where passion meets education. We can do so little; together, we can do so much. United we stand, divided we fall. Tune into this beautiful podcast where Anvesha and Simar ponder upon the importance and necessity of Unity. Listen as Aria shares her take on unity, how it has helped her and why she perceives it as magic.

Anvesha Rana and Simar Kaur - Hosts from Gyanshree School Aria Gupta - Guest from Gyanshree School

Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much. United we stand, just as the rainbow colours blend beautifully. We’re in the same boat to achieve happiness. Unity is not just being together; it’s helping each other out when someone is in need. For example, during India’s 1857 revolution, people from all religions and regions fought the British East India Company. Even though they couldn’t get rid of the Britains, they became stronger and soon gained freedom together. Love is an understanding so complete that you feel like you are a part of the other person. Accepting the other person just how they are and not trying to change them into someone else. Love is the source of unity. So deep down, all the values come to a standstill as they finally arrive at the same spot.

My Good School Season 11 Episode 10. Veda Varshita Marrivada Grade 5 student of The Hyderabad Public School, shares her reflections from the Sunday School.

There can be many causes that can be important to us. A cause is a reason which affects an action. Everything in this world has a cause which can be good or bad. Especially humans have one or more causes in life. Grounds are compelling because they give us the power to question something and change our way of life.

I have many causes in life. It can relate to my family, work, academics, and being a good human. But there are three primary reasons in my life to live. They are:
1. My family
It is because of them that I am living. They make great sacrifices for us and help us in complicated situations. They guide us correctly and are ready to do anything for our happiness. They sometimes scold us, which makes us upset, but it's for our own good.
2. My work
I get easily engaged once it comes to work. It allows me to acquire loads of knowledge and increase my creativity. Also, it gives me peace of mind and the feeling that I am a busy adult.
3. To know "THE VALUE OF LIFE"
If we don't understand the value of life, we spend our entire life never enjoying and being happy. If we once experience life as a whole and understand the importance of life, we can spend it wisely and happily.
These were my causes to live, but a human will have a cause/reason for everything.
In conclusion, we should find causes, analyse, think, and act on them daily. We shall indeed observe a change. Therefore, think of reasons every day.

My Good School Season 11 Episode 9. Veda Varshita Marrivada Grade 5 student of The Hyderabad Public School, shares her reflections from the Sunday School.

It was a fun and knowledgeable trip visiting the SchoolEducation.Com. It is a website created by the Good School Alliance program. It was an outstanding experience with many things to know about. As I scrolled through the web pages, I came across many other programs held by the Good Schools Alliance. There were many informative videos. Some programs were Happy Teachers, Sunday School, My Good School Retreat etc.

The school song of My Good School was melodious and splendid. It was soothing, lovely, and relaxing to hear. Also, many takeaways from the reflections given by many students were creative and helpful. Coming to the Internships, the reviews provided by the interns made me determined to become an intern in the future.

The various programs listed on the website gave me a sensation of excitement. The website also gave me the curiosity to learn many more things. The Meet and Greet podcasts were fascinating. It was a unique website because it was like an online school. There were several books to read. I could not notice how fast the time passed by just scrolling on the website for half an hour. The various programs also help us to build our vocabulary.

The My Good School Program focuses on the 6 C's, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, character, and citizenship, which are very important to success in our life and career. There is also a facility to buy many exciting books, such as:

Live Life In Crescendo
Blue Sky, White Cloud
Ratan Tata Ek Prakash Stambh

In conclusion, we have many things to learn, and what we know today might help us tomorrow, and whatever we learn is a drop or a pond compared to an ocean. The trip to SchoolEducation.Com will allow us to learn many new things and succeed in our life.

My Good School
Where passion meets education
And many more are based on our daily life and have many things to learn. This website is very inspirational for me as I could understand there are "No limits to knowledge and learning". It was a spectacular trip visiting the SchoolEducation.com website.

My Good School Season 11 Episode 8. Veda Varshita Marrivada Grade 5 student of The Hyderabad Public School, shares her reflections from the Sunday School.

Being human is something which everyone cannot do. It depends on whether an individual is human, but what is being human? It means being a very generous human being. It is also a part of Humanity. Being human can also reflect on the character of a person. Donations, Charities, Adoptions, etc., come under the category of being human. A person requires a pure and kind heart to be human. Being human gives a feeling of satisfaction and happiness and teaches us to be good human beings.

The reality of the world hides in a mask where most people claim the good deeds and blame the bad deeds, but rare people are good humans from the inside. People show off their acts for the sake of status but not with good intentions. Humanity is becoming extinct, and many people hate each other. The percentage of cruelty in the world is at a high intensity.

Everyone should be treated fairly and equally. ALAS! I am still a child, but once I grow up, I shall donate money to old age homes and orphanages, give money to the poor and help anyone I see in trouble without hesitation. Also, I shall try my best to be a good human being as an honourable citizen of India, but my parents currently arrange food banks at orphanages and old age homes on our birthdays. Helping them gives us a feeling of happiness and joy. My parents always help others, inspiring and motivating me to do the same.

Helping others makes everyone happy. Humanity is an essential virtue which we should follow for a better world. Being human also applies to animals. Treating them fairly is necessary too. Many people torture animals such as horses, elephants, lions, and other animals for entertainment.

In conclusion, everyone should do their best to be a good human being.

Meet and Greet is our event to celebrate the work and writing of authors and guests who join us at our Sunday School, hosted online weekly. In this edition, we speak with Deepti Mehrotra, whose books are published by Rupa Publications Pvt Ltd and are available worldwide.

History narrates tales of courageous, brave, patriotic men who sacrificed their necessities to fight for a more significant cause. Still, while highlighting the men down the ages, we often undermine the women of the past who had performed more dangerous deeds and fought for causes which ameliorated the lives of later women. Her Stories: Indian women down the Ages is not just a novel but a keepsake where the tales and stories of Indian women are preserved. It is a way to hear those unheard of and appreciate their efforts for women at large. Consider this beautiful conversation where Dr Deepti Priya Mehrotra deciphers her book. This podcast is an ode to all these Indian women down the ages.

My Good School Season 11 Episode 7

A relationship is a way through which people or things are connected. People can have relations with family, friends, animals, nature and even things. The critical elements for a strong and healthy relationship are mutual Respect, Understanding, Communication, Compromise, and Trust. We should first understand the person and respect their opinions; giving them a chance to speak and putting in their shoes is important too. Being an 11-year-old child, I have never experienced a broken relationship, but let me tell my story with my best friends. My parents and I have lived in Bangalore since my birth. Over there, I met Ridhi and Tanishka on the first day of school. We became best friends. They were kind, affectionate and caring. They would cheer me up when I was not in a good mood. One day, my father said we had to shift to Hyderabad for his job there. I was distressed to leave my friends and head for a new life.

Listen to my story on repairing broken relationships. “If something is broken, then learn to repair it. If someone is angry, then learn to convince and please them. Relationships are destined; just learn to handle them beautifully.” So, make sure you have a solid and good relationship, whether it is a person, animal, nature, or thing.

My Good School Season 11 Episode 6

Rishona Chopra Grade VII Gyanshree School

Nature is all around us. The magnificent trees, the lush green forests, the animals and the birds. And in fact, we humans are nature. We are not a part of it but we are nature. Nature heals us. By this, I don't mean just the trees and forests that heal us. I mean, our loved ones, friends and parents care for us and support us, standing selflessly as our backbone.

Human's greatest enemy is ego. It is the fuel for anger, jealousy, greed and whatnot? For greed, we fight wars. Why? For a mere piece of land. That very land belongs to none of us. Countries fight for the mountain areas that come in the area of our country. But, in reality, that land is neither ours nor theirs. It is nature which has no possession. Just like we don't have the owners that we belong to, neither does the land.

Without realizing it, we hurt nature for a pretty silly reason. In the midst of these wars, aren't oceans and mountains being affected? We greedily fight for possession but do we take that possession with us when we die? One day, it all has to be lost. Plants, humans, animals and birds are all nature. We are one and are meant to live in harmony. But we have all broken ourselves into different categories. We are meant to live in peace and harmony, yet we have created a broken relationship with one another.

The beauty of our world lies not in the biodiversity of our planet but it the harmony that we create with one another. Due to the broken relationship, neither are satisfied, neither are we nor are the plants and animals. It is high time we fix this relationship, by realising that ego is indeed our greatest enemy and has ruined so much for us. We will have to cure the wounds we have caused and prevent more from being created.

My Good School Show Season 9, Episode 16 where passion meets education.

Understanding is the power to listen and reinforce. It is not a simple task; it requires the power to trust and tolerate and the necessity of being thoughtful while observing the simplicity at the heart of the matter and eventually giving in honestly to love. If we can understand, then we can trust. If we can understand, then we can be patient; if we can understand, we can tolerate and then only we can love.

Understanding is deeper than knowledge, there are many people who know you but very few of them understand you. Tune into this beautiful podcast where Anvesha and Simar ponder upon the importance and necessity to understand one another in this fast paced world.

Listen as Sulochana and Reveda share their take on understanding, how it has helped them and why they perceive it as a magical bridge to the hearts of loved ones.

My Good School Season 11 Episode 5

I am responsible for many things. These words give me a sense of pride and responsibility towards my work, family, and society. Every right has responsibilities, and responsibility is a duty we must accomplish on time. Everyone has their responsibilities and duties. Responsibility means being dependable, making good choices, and taking accountability for your actions.

I've been a responsible girl since my childhood. I had a few responsibilities as a daughter, family member and student. One of my primary responsibilities was learning and studying. I have consistently performed to the best in academics and secured first rank in my class every year. Another responsibility was obeying and respecting my parents, family, teachers, and elders. Also, I kept my things safe as the things I owned were precious and gave me a feeling of ownership.

Since the birth of my younger brother, things have changed. I had got some more responsibilities. I had to help my parents to bring up my younger brother and cope with my studies. Although adapting to the situation was difficult, I sacrificed and compromised a few things for my parents and brother. Later, everything became easy, and I got used to them. Over the years, I learnt to look after myself and decide the right choices in life. Still, responsibilities give me an incredible feeling of joy and teach me many valuable lessons in life, and obviously, I shall and will fulfil my responsibilities.

Responsibility is an essential virtue of an individual as it gains a person's trust. It teaches you to do multitasking and gives you satisfaction and happiness. It provides a sense of purpose and builds resilience amidst adversity on an individual and societal level.

In conclusion, accomplishing your tasks and responsibilities gives you a sense of maturity, happiness, and great joy as you feel you have completed a task on time. "Where there is great power and energy, there is great responsibility." Let's all be responsible for accomplishing what we have committed!

Learning Forward Podcast Season 10 Episode 15

Nature has its way of calling upon us, but we often ignore those rare signs. We build homes in seclusion away from the abode of wildlife and nature; when we can live peacefully together, why are we so adamant about living apart? Consider this beautiful conversation where Nirmal Ghosh deciphers his book, ‘Blue Sky, White Cloud: Three Novellas’. Our anthropocentric behaviour has indeed broken the typical bond of friendship between nature and us. Learn and reinforce to reconnect with our roots.

Nirmal Ghosh - Author of ‘Blue Sky, White Cloud: Three Novellas.’

Anvesha Rana - Host from Gyanshree School

Rishona Chopra and Sandeep Dutt join in as guests.

There was a lot to learn, and there is now a lot to reinforce, but the lifeline remains that beauty lies in simplicity; we might try to complex situations, but deep down, we are all the same man who used to live with nature to now the man who has built homes in seclusion away from the abode of wildlife and nature.

We are the only species with the power to share our feelings with the world, and we should use this power wisely.

Nirmal addresses some interesting questions:

It is vital to write about what we know simply for authenticity, so what was your process of writing these three novellas, what set off that spark, and how did you go about it?

What do you believe is the key to establishing a relationship with our environment, and how did you do it?

Blue Sky White Cloud is a heart-touching tale that echoes a powerful message of empathy and compassion. Amidst all you do, sir, how do you continue fostering your passion for writing?

Talking about ‘Blue Sky, White Cloud’ is a compilation of three novellas. A novella is a short novel, and this tale revolves around the lives of three distinct animals who live in varying geographies and current independent views. Still, somehow deep down, they are all interconnected.

There is more; this is a heart-warming podcast filled with empathy for nature, real life-changing moments and how humans must learn to respect nature.

My Good School Season 10 Episode 15. If you want to be trusted, be honest. If you want to be honest, be true. If you want to be trusted, be yourself. Trust is the purest of values, the most beautiful of bonds and the deepest of connections. We all are here because we have the power to trust, we are here because we can sustain being trusted, and we are here to spread Trust among others. Trust is the best proof of love; it is an invisible thread which connects us all. It takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair. Treasure it. Trust is the most beautiful when witnessed; it combines every value we know love, respect, friendship and much more.

Trusting others is the very essence of any human relationship. We can't be friends if we don't trust, we can't be partners if we don't trust, we can't be students if we don't trust, and likewise, we can't be human if we don't trust. Trust is to give away a part of yourself to someone else and believes that they will keep it safe.

At My Good School, we continue happily simply because we trust each other; we have faith in one another that each of us is special and unique, and the My Good School Retreat 2023 experience has further deepened this bond of Trust. So Trust is the foundation of love.

Join Anvesha and Simar in this beautiful conversation where Rishona and Oshi share their take on Trust.

Learning Forward Podcast Season 10 Episode 14, we try to understand India's strategy for unleashing its innate greatness: Ms Bhairavi Jani, the author of Highway to Swades. Join Anvesha and Rishona on this marvellous trip to rediscover India's superpowers. In a country overflowing with its culture, a nation intertwined along with its love for heritage and a place blossoming in its beautiful diversity. We belong to India, the land of differences, but these differences act as a binding force for each of us. India is indeed a great country, full of stories to tell and experiences to share. Indeed, all the powers mentioned in the book have their unique meaning.

Powers are a way to recall our past, and as we have said many times, India's only way to rediscover its superpowers is the Highway to Swades. At our Sunday School, we discussed the power of nature, and we believe the character has its way of healing us. Rishona asks Bhairavi Which power inspired you the most and touched your heart and why? Anvesha asks if nature helped you regain yourself and what you love the most about nature.

Bhairavi is a fourth-generation entrepreneur, developmental enthusiast and avid venture philanthropist. She is the Chairperson and Founder of the IEF Entrepreneurship Foundation and Executive Director of SCA Group of Companies, founded in 1896. SCA Group undertakes activities in the supply chain and logistics sector.

Bhairavi has been listed as one of the 30 most Powerful Women in India by the India Today publication. She has been profiled as Stree Shakti (Woman Power) person by CNBC Awaaz and featured as a Young Turk by CNBC TV 18. She has been listed as one of the ten women exemplars by the Hindustan Times, and Business Today Magazine has featured her as the Supply Chain Maven.

Bhairavi is World Economic Forum's Young Global Leader. She is a KBF Fellow of the Aspen Global Leadership Network of the Aspen Institute and a Responsible Leader of the BMW World Responsible Leaders Forum. She is a Member of Beta Gamma Sigma, the Business Honor Society, USA, and the Past National Chairman of CII's Young Indians. She is a trustee of India@75 Foundation, Leap Foundation and Ananta Centre. She serves on the Global Advisory Committee of the Earth Day Network, the Advisory Board of the Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship and the Global Advisory Network of Apolitical Academy Global.

Bhairavi is a firm believer in entrepreneurial ecosystems that create livelihood opportunities. She dedicates much of her time, expertise and philanthropy to the cause and has been committed to it for the past decade. In 2014 Bhairavi drove 18,181 km. Across India to gather information on peoples' choices and views on entrepreneurship, livelihood and development. Travelling for 51 days with her team, Bhairavi visited 102 locations and conducted 3000 plus interviews of Indians from all walks of life.

Co-creating sustainable livelihoods for communities in the higher Himalayas is a mission close to her heart.

My Good School Show Season 9 and Episode 14

Tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature. Tolerance stands tall to the open testimony that change is the only constant. Like Bruce Lee said, "Be water, my friend" we are all confirmed only for change, and change begins with Tolerance.

Join Anvesha and Simar as they explore Tolerance and dive into this beautiful conversation where Shilpika, Yashraj and Rishona express their take on being tolerant.

My Good School Show Season 9, Episode 13As we express gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them. Thinking about others and ourselves is vital; thinking twice before an important decision and letting others know you are always there is Thoughtfulness. Join Anvesha and Simar as they explore Thoughtfulness and dive into this beautiful conversation where Rishona expresses her take on being thoughtful.Anvesha Rana and Simar Kaur - Hosts from Gyanshree SchoolRishona Chopra- Guest from Gyanshree SchoolAnvesha: We welcome you to My Good School Show Season 9, Episode 13, where passion meets education. I am AnveshaSimar: I am Simar, and we will be your hosts for the event. We have Rishona here with us today to share her take on Thoughtfulness.Anvesha: To be mindful about our activities and compassionate and empathetic about others is our Thoughtfulness.Simar: Yes indeed, now let us invite Rishona here. Rishona, what are some instances where you have been thoughtful?Rishona: Thoughtfulness is when a thought comes to you to care for someone. Just simply that thought creates Understanding. An instance where I can remember being thoughtful is when one of the students fell during a race at a school. I noticed no one was helping her and was too busy winning the race. At first, I didn't see it either. I thought the students around her would help, but when no one did, I went up and helped her stand up. But although I helped her up, I didn't wait any minute longer and just ran to continue the race, which I think is selfish. Deep inside, I, too, was concerned about winning the race. I need to improve this in myself, overcome my desire for selfishness, and learn to be selfless. Thoughtfulness should not come to show someone that you have done something but should come from the heart.Simar: Thank you, Rishona; you are indeed one of the most thoughtful people we have met, and being considerate is indeed the moment's need.Anvesha: With that, we come to the end of our podcast.

It lies inside all of us, unshaken, untouched under all the extravagance that we live in, we often forget the lifeline, Simplicity. Reveda, what does simplicity mean to you and why should others live by it ? Reveda: Simplicity is the idea of being down to earth even after having ample materialistic things like money and fame, both of which some people use as keys to the "Door of Domination." What it means to me is to keep your wings closed to stay on the ground even when you can fly above the clouds, flattering them all the way through.Simar: Thank you Reveda, Simplicity is indeed very vital for our lives.

The Great Tribal Warriors of Bharat
Rupa Publications India
Authors: Tuhin A. Sinha & Ambalika B

‘In our 75th year of Independence… we needed quality literature about our great tribal freedom fighters. This book is a genuinely commendable start in that direction. —Arjun Munda, Minister of Tribal Affairs

The meticulous lines drawn out from the intricately woven Indian history narrate a tale of courage and patriotism, courteous and courageous fighters astounded the invaders with defiance for crumbling in pain their fragile and ancient machinery might lay down on the battlefield. Still, the spirit of freedom ignited further after losing. Indians unified is a resilient symbol of Pure Indian Strength; our most significant asset lies in our people.

Our impregnable freedom is a culmination of the endeavours of numerous freedom fighters; the depths of oppression create such heights of character.

Our Independence was not a birthright. It was fought for with life and death by these tribal communities.

Our first war of Independence was not in 1857.

Tribal mutinies against the British began at least 75 years before the 1857 revolution.

These battles were fought with traditional bows and arrows and spears and predated the reported political movement that came to the fore in the latter part of the nineteenth century. As we complete 75 years of Independence, it is only fair to acknowledge that a parallel freedom movement existed in our far-flung villages and jungles, away from the mainstream freedom movement recognised in the books of history. The Great Tribal Warriors of Bharat is a humble attempt to honour these largely unsung heroes of an epochal movement whose contribution remains largely unacknowledged.

The book begins with Tilka Manjhi, who unleashed guerilla warfare to combat the British and includes Jaipal Singh Munda, one of the most nuanced speakers of our Constituent Assembly, tracking the trajectory of this movement. These brave warriors came from all parts of India, including the Northeast and the South, and all tribes in the country. The book is a rare collection and a journey into self-discovery for our civilization-turned nation. If you want to be a part of similar podcasts, join us.

My Good School Season 9, Episode 8.

Quality is defined as the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something. But why is it important? Tune in to discover the enigma of quality.

Join Anvesha and Simar as they are back with a podcast this month. We welcome you to My Good School Show Episode 9, where passion meets education, and it is quality this time. Tune into this fruitful conversation where our friend Arav unfurls his stories. Join us in the celebration of Quality at My Good School and make it even more fun!

Paraphrased from The Little Book Of Values by Julie Duckworth

Quality • noun (pl. qualities) 1 the degree of excellence of something as measured against other similar things. 2 general distinctions. Three distinctive attributes or characteristics.

Children say Quality is: • Working together to get quality work in your books • Making sure you’ve got a great team • Achieving quality can make yourself and others feel good inside • It’s about not giving up on yourself; you need to believe that you can do it • You need quality to care for the world • Your teachers want you to have high standards and quality work. They plan good lessons so you can always do your best • If we think we can, we will do well. We say in our heads and out loud, ‘I can and I will'. Our thoughts need to be of high quality; there is no room for negative words • We need friends of good quality in our lives. The sort of friends who will stand by you when everything is down.

The rainy month of August brings us to another unique topic - Patience! Anvesha and Simar are back as our hosts!

Patience is truly a vital virtue on the road to success. But what does Patience mean to you? Can you remember any instances where you were patient? Who is the most patient person you know? Do you think Patience can be found in small things? Make sure to ponder these questions and share your thoughts in the comments section! Tune in to listen to our special guests - Arav and Monisha ma'am - as they share their valuable thoughts with us.

Anvesha, Simar, Rishona, Aanya and Arindita share their thoughts on Humility. Tune in to this beautiful conversation to discover the depths of Humility which create such heights of character. Being humble means that we can detach ourselves from all other emotions such as jealousy, anger or hatred because it is humbleness that we find the most incredible power to neither consider ourselves mighty nor regard others as petty. Humility is the rainbow, connecting the diverse colours to blend them into one beautiful scenery.

Listen to these young minds as they share their experiences of Humility with some real-life anecdotes and stories that might crack you up. Humility has a specific power that we all can achieve by simply lending our hand out to a stranger, by merely helping anyone with no reason, and by simply being the cause for someone else’s smile.

Nibbrati Rathore, a passionate educator and a #HappyTeachers, is blessed with a beautiful voice and a love for children. She is a mentor, volunteer and teacher at My Good School. This episode is about humility, the value that should be numero uno, successful, and humble.

"The low sweet root from which all heavenly virtues shoot, that's HUMILITY.

Humility is the quality of being humble. It is a quality of being humbly respectful of others. It is that self-respect that keeps us away from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves.

Humility makes us modest and constantly reminds us how far we have come in life and what more we can do. Humility is an important virtue or trait that every person should have.

Everyone deserves respect and a word of kindness, which has nothing to do with profession, age or gender". - Humility and Appreciation - Tarang JMMS, Post on www.BrewingKnowledge.com

Anvesha Rana from Gyanshree School reads the chapter Teachers Travel With You All Your Life.

Learning is a lifelong process; we must have the best teacher accompany us on life's journey. We may grow up and follow a 'guru' or a mentor; whoever we follow, the teacher's leadership is supreme; the teacher travels with us for life. The empathy and care our teachers bestow on us are etched in our memory for life. You will always carry your teacher in you no matter where you go. The empathy and care our teachers bestow on us will be etched in our memory for life. You will always carry your teacher with you no matter where you go.

What Makes Teachers Great?

Some characteristics can predict whether a teacher will be a great teacher even before entering the classroom. Studies show the teacher is one of the most crucial factors in your child's school success. A poor teacher can set your child back forever; a great teacher inspires them forever.

My Good School - Where Passion Meets Education A BOOK FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLING. This book is for parents to select the school for their child, as the choice can have a lifelong impact on the growth and personality of the child. A guide for you to look beyond that high-rise building and those perfectly manicured lawns—to go deeper in your search for your good school. It will encourage you to observe, question, evaluate, and choose a school that will truly prepare your child for a life beyond the campus, beyond theory, and beyond algebra. This book will help educators, school administrators, and management build and rebuild such institutions and change the future of learning. Enriched with the knowledge, experience and, most importantly, the wisdom of The Doon School alumnus and school improvement coach Sandeep Dutt, this book will encourage conversations around our education system and help shape the future of education in the world.

Listen to this heartwarming episode, and recollect your days with your favourite teacher!

My Good School Season 2, Episode 2

Happiness is perhaps the most multi-faceted feeling. The most fundamental aspiration in the hearts of all human beings is to be happy. We all want to be happy, but we are not! But what is happiness?

Happiness is an emotion, a feeling of contentment. The most trivial things can brighten our day, bring us joy and make us happy! May it be good weather, a good grade in an assessment, being able to befriend a stranger, calling a friend or a relative, looking at the stars, playing a sport with someone, listening to music, and the list goes on.

Happiness is not something that we can achieve with myriad materialistic items. True happiness comes from within. If we are not happy where we are, we won't be happy anywhere. Happiness is the first step of the ladder as we climb up to peace, sanguinity, sagacity, and finally, equanimity.

In the words of Albus Dumbledore, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, only if one remembers to turn on the light!" So join us in unfolding the mystery behind the happiness of human life with Aarav and Rishona. Few of our friends will also join and share their experiences. Tune in to the podcast to listen to Saima, Arindita, Anishka, Sakshi, Kritika and Sunita ma'am talk about the true form of happiness. Let us revisit the cheerful and lively moments filled with joy and laughter!

Comment below and let us know if you liked our podcast. If you want to be a part of similar podcasts, join us. We hope to meet you soon again when we are back with a podcast on the 2nd of May 2022.

Hosts- Rishona and Arav. Editors and creators- Moksh, Simar, Anvesha, Anusha.

My Good School Season 2, Episode 1

Somewhere in life, there must be someone to take your hand and share the torrid day. Without a touch of Friendship, there is no life, and we must fade away. In the words of Oprah Winfrey, "Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down".

There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends who become family. Friendship is a tonic for all of us that only grows stronger over time; it is the cure for every challenge, the outlook for every good day, and the wish for every person. Probably no relationship is as essential yet versatile as Friendship. The intimacy and affinity we have with our friends are irreplaceable, and it comes in many forms; whether we are next to each other or miles apart, we always remember them, and they are our Friends. To have true friends is a blessing, so join us as Anvesha and Simar share their companionship and the meaning of Friendship. They spill it all, of course, along with some special guests. Discover a companion from the past; revisit those old lanes we had walked upon with mates; laugh out loud as nostalgia envelopes each one of us; follow the tale when a young girl makes an uncanny friend; indulge in the adventures which make our life both troublesome and happening; do recall the bold and notorious friends Jai & Viru and witness the bond between old pals.

Some stories will make you smile, some will bring tears to your eyes, some may even make your heart skip a beat, but all of them will renew your faith in the power of Friendship. Comment below and let us know if you liked our podcast. If you want to be a part of similar podcasts, join us. We hope to meet you again when we have a podcast on happiness next month.

Dr Ashok Pandey, the show host and Director Ahlcon Group of Schools, speaks with the stakeholders at Billabong High International School Thane: Mr Sudhir Goenka, Trustee/Management; Ms Kalyani Chaudhuri, Principal; Ms Sanika Joshi, Teacher; Rehan Singh, school student; Ayonnya Bhattacharya. ex-student; and Ms. Prajakta Patil, parent. All the stakeholders share their personal experiences and what goes into the making of a good school.

Established in 2006, Billabong Thane celebrates 15 glorious years of responsibly creating 21st-century learners and empathetic future citizens by imparting knowledge that ensures young minds' holistic growth and development. A school where children feel at home; Where EQ precedes IQ; Teachers are facilitators, life-long mentors, and their students often remain their "kids"; and Where we unite to ideate, innovate and improvise. The school works to create a bond of trust and belonging.

Billabong is a vertical school, where the Principal sits on the second floor, and the school ten storeys, wherein the show host quips that 'the sky's the limit!'. Kalyani walks up and down the building all day long to ensure that she connects with the children and stands tall as a school leader who works to empower every teacher at school. She considers herself the luckiest person every morning and is always excited to touch the lives of all the people - the children, staff and stakeholders. She refers to the school as a temple of learning and shares why she feels on top of the world.

Rehan, a school student, shares his ten plus years at school; he gives all credit to his teachers for their pure love and making every child happy without any expectations. His one-minute speech '...limelight makes me nervous, he would like to thank the people he values most in his life...no matter when he fell they did not let him down.

Sanika again shares her transformation in 11 years; she has grown professional and spiritually. The teacher-taught relationship is full of happiness, and she shares how the thank you book records the joy of learning on the campus.

Ayonnya recalls her relationship with teachers and how they prepared her as a person of high percentile to contribute to society. She shares the bond of friendship, activities, drama, and being the first batch at the school who had an entire decade of school experience, offered her the opportunity to grow up to be a kind and compassionate person. When she was unwell for an extended period, the teachers went beyond the call of duty to help her. The parents of the school are active learning partners and appreciate how the students lead; collaboration between stakeholders.

They have a well-knit parent and teacher body who collaborate to make Billabong a good school.

A passionate Billabong fan thus writes:

"Amidst the din and bustle of a busy street

We have a school where minds and hearts meet.

Uncles, aunties, teachers and friends

Make BHIS a happy place to attend.

Austere but gentle, strict but kind-

This is where rules and liberty lie intertwined.

Oh, Billabong is where we love to go!

Because it helps us explore as we grow.

Here we learn the core values of life,

To continue serving as we strive.

Here we learn to wipe away tears

For ours is a school that genuinely cares."

Episode #100: Sandeep Dutt pays tribute to John Martyn, who inspired and enriched the lives of the children from the rural areas near Dehradun. Martyn was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 1958, and 1983 Padma Shri, from the Government of India for his notable contributions to the establishment of The Doon School.

In 1935, John Martyn accompanied Arthur Foot to India to establish the teaching staff of The Doon School, a newly opened boarding school for Indian boys. Martyn was at Doon for 31 years, thus becoming one of the longest-serving schoolmasters in the school's history. After he died in 1984, his wife Mady Martyn wrote a book about him entitled Martyn Sahib, the story of John Martyn of the Doon School.

In his honour, his wife and Martyn's friends set up John Martyn Memorial Trust in a village at the foothills of the Himalayas called Salagaon. The trust runs a school for underprivileged children and provides free education to over 150 children. The past 37 years have been an incredible journey as the school witnessed the lives of many disadvantaged children transforming because of quality primary education.

Since its inception, JMMS has grown from 25 students in a tent to 175 students in 7 classes from Nursery to grade 5. Most of these children are first-generation learners in their families. Apart from teaching, Martyn was very keen on mountaineering; in this podcast, Nibbrati Rathore of Learning Forward speaks with Parineeta Negi, the torchbearer of John Martyn Memorial School and is a proponent of John Martyn's vision. Parineeta Negi brings with her vast experience of teaching. She headed schools and has worked with NGOs like SIDH. Currently, she is the Principal of John Martyn Memorial School.

Where Passion Meets Education How is the human element highlighted in the school? Elements that make a school from good to great? What goes into making a good school? How are values taught in school? How do stakeholders work to make it a good school? What is the vision of the promoters?

The My Good School Dil Se stories explain how schools can achieve significantly better teaching standards, foster a sense of community, and help students reach their fullest potential.

THE FABINDIA SCHOOL The school emphasizes a holistic approach to education, offering extensive extracurricular programs and academic courses. The school was established in 1992 in the village of Bali, Rajasthan, by William and John Bissell, who recognized the need for a model school to empower young people in rural Rajasthan, where literacy rates are meagre, especially among women. After completing his studies in 1988, William Bissell lived for several years in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, where he worked with rural artisans and various crafts co-operatives across the state. This formative experience strongly impacted his views on the critical role of education and the lack of high quality, affordable education in rural areas. William was passionate about creative approaches to education which brought out each child's inherent talents and the need to include environmental education in a local context. With input from many creative talents over the years, the school has become a model for preparing its students for success in life while contributing to the local community.

Message to the Principal "It was a great pleasure interacting with your team. Your students are brilliant. You are leading a great school. Congratulations. During the show, I wish to focus on some of the very profoundly touching questions."- Dr Ashok Pandey (Director Ahlcon Group of Schools and Host of the My Good School Show).

The My Good School curriculum focuses on learning for life; Empower students by creating an environment for their personal and social development; Encourage students to become involved in activities beyond just study; this helps develop confidence, knowledge and networks; and Experiential learning is a critical factor in the students progressing successfully through adolescence.

My Good School standard core curriculum helps empower every individual; we invite schools to join the Good Schools' global community. The 4S School - Service, Skill, Sport and Study. The 'My Good School' designation shows a school's value on professional learning and student achievement. For more about The Fabindia School www.FabindiaSchool.org.

Episode #97: Sandeep Dutt, in conversation with Dr Ashok Pandey, his life story is beautiful; growing up in a village, he understood the need for values, diversity, and respect for the Guru. He talks about the idea of diversity and dedication of teachers; his teacher had a bag library and carried books for children to read to school every day! The role of a teacher is the highlight of this show. In the late 1960s, his teacher won the President of India's Award and travelled to Delhi. The true spirit of 'Guru without gururh' (truly selfless)'.

Dr Pandey believes in teachers first and empowers every individual; he is a team-builder and celebrated school leader. Dr Pandey was listed by Forbes India 2020 among the top 100 People Managers; he is now the Director of the Ahlcon Group of Schools in Delhi and has served as the Principal of the Ahlcon International School until 2019.

Dr Pandey sits on the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) Governing Body, India; volunteers as the National Coordinator of Climate Reality Education Program in India; and sits on several advisory bodies. Dr Pandey is passionate about a system shift in education.

According to Dr Pandey, the teachers must eschew being a broadcaster and acknowledge several alternative sources of knowledge. The classrooms need a redesign to elicit students' love for learning and self-development. The pedagogy must shun predictability and encourage curiosity, innovation, and participation. Schools should be a place where students learn to become responsible citizens and engage in community development. As an advocate of Sustainable Development Goals, he believes that equity and social justice should shape curriculum and pedagogies.

Episode #96: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Audra Gold, the CEO and co-founder of Vurbl, one of the largest non-music databases of streaming audio in the US with thousands of audio creators publishing content for millions of listeners that are consuming millions of minutes of audio from a library of over 30 million titles across 100’s of content categories.

Audra fell in love with the Internet in college in the 1990s, during the first years of the Commercial Internet. She started developing start-up ideas and launching them with fellow students, and she has not stopped since. Audra has helped build, launch and grow digital-first businesses from the first dot-com boom through many economic ups and downs after that, learning just about every lesson you can imagine in the many start-ups she has been a part of. She has been awarded a Primetime Emmy Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media for her work at Fourthwall Studios, which the Nantworks group of companies later acquired. She has also helped author and develop several digital media and ad-tech related patents throughout the last 20 years.

Audra shares what learning means to her in today's Episode, her passion for education, and the importance of audio learning. As a child, she was an inquisitive person; she spent a lot of time in the library, the internet for learning in that era! She comes from a family of educators; what drove her to audio and the idea of Vurbl was born through her personal consumption of audiobooks, as this was her first passion, you listen and learn, perhaps the easiest way to enrich your brain.

The successful womenprenuer shares three ingredients for a successful career recipe: passion, knowledge acquisition, and hard work ethics in life. Her favourite teacher story and how she learnt from watching her teachers - patience, discipline and enthusiasm - have helped her become a good mentor for people in life. She has spent a lot of time teaching, her teacher was her cross country coach, and he taught her the benefits of juicing, which helped him batter cancer. This was real-life learning about nutrition and holistic health. A maths teacher changed her diet perspective!

Her favourite quote is, "Be suspicious of what you want; this keeps her motivated as it helps her delve deeper and find out what is the motive, what is driving you to do x,y and Z?

Competitive sports shaped her approach to life, team building for business was indeed learnt from the soccer team.

"Building a business is one of the hardest, most torturous things you’ll ever do. You better make sure you are building something that is meaningful to you and brings you joy at the end of the day. If I did not love the audio medium and believe in our ability to truly revolutionize the audio space for creators, listeners and brands, I would never have survived the last 6 months." Inspirational Women Leaders Of Tech: Audra Everett Gold

Episode #89: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Bharti Rao, a Passionate English Educator and Vice-Principal at The Fabindia School with 20 years of teaching experience. Alumni of Sophia High School and have taught in girls and co-ed school in Mount Abu. After a break of 12 years and she joined The Fabindia School in 2004. Her motto is 'Where there is a will, there is a way!'. With her strong willpower and confidence, she was determined to find the way out against all odds of culture, family background and the pressing needs of being a homemaker. Her communication and written skills in English are the assets that have taken her a long way in life; good listening skills, being patient, responsible and having a positive attitude. As an educator, she grows her students with dedication and works for children's all-around development. She wants to enhance and teach moral values to make them successful and responsible human beings and create learning spaces. Sending girls to school has historically been a challenge for many cultures and countries; the single most reason for this has been the attitude and understanding of parents, many of who are not yet first generation learners. In her case, her parents offered her tremendous support, and in addition, the male members in the family she got married to all helped her grow her passion for education. Her twelve-year hiatus, being married to a family that was limited in vision due to social norms, she managed to find a form with compassion and caring. Today, she finds that education is transforming households, fathers who are farmers, rural livelihood being their source of sustenance, accompany their girls to admit them to school; this is the significant change her village and India has seen.

Episode #88: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Philip Burrett, an ex-school master and deputy Headmaster at The Doon School, with 43 years of teaching experience. Now a school consultant, trainer, coach, school mentor and traveller. Has taught in co-ed and single-sex boys schools in Delhi and Mumbai till he arrived at The Doon School Dehradun (India) in 1985. He believes that boys end up in trouble; when we look around, we see many reasons. He is very concerned about handling boys and how we can best educate them. His efforts are to move them away from the pseudo masochism that most boys think is needed to become new warriors-men with empathy and kindness. Now retired seeks to take boys into the outdoors to train, coach and mentor. The need of the hour is to help boys become men and make these rites of passage enjoyable. Once a teacher, always a teacher, works to help colleagues and live well with his family. Philip's father served in the forces, and this is where he learnt the meaning of colour, the need to respect women and persevere. His passion for the outdoors must be his DNA, and he finds that learning is only outside the classroom, beyond the closed spaces and boxed mindsets. Finds that boys in particular call for trouble, and the prisons are full of men. This happens because they lack role models. It is time now for 'men empowerment, and this gives due credence to the Mankind Movement he once followed. We can not make half-baked men; there is a definitive need for rituals, routine and rhythm to help reform the world in distress.

My Good School opened for the world on the 18th of July 2020 with Dr Karl Clauset as the Guest Of Honour, RP Devgan Chairman Learning Forward India, Board Members of Learning Forward, School Heads, Educators and passionate people who love to help schools deliver better. A tailor-made school experience for every individual. We see the possibility of a nation where every school offers young people the opportunity to be rewarded for challenging themselves, rewarded for engaging with adult mentors, rewarded when finishing school, and rewarded for giving back to their communities. We believe we can help connect young people with new opportunities to change their world.

My Good School is a standard common core curriculum, with a focus on the personal and social development of an individual; by offering an environment where experiential learning is made possible through activities beyond just study; this brings to life learning that would otherwise be theoretical and uncoordinated. Encouraging students to become involved in activities in the community outside the confines of the school curriculum will help develop their confidence, knowledge and networks. With teachers’ encouraging young people, they can benefit fully from what both the school and outside interests can offer, this can be a key factor in their progressing successfully through adolescence into a fulfilling and rewarding adult life.

Ravi believes that it is time to ‘Unlearn’ legacy education and make way for disruption using local and global influences in technology, innovation and creativity resulting in skill development and deep learning.

In his current role, he helms ScooNews, a very young and dynamic organisation driven by the zeal to improve the education ecosystem.

Episode #85: Sandeep Dutt, in conversation with Kavita Anand, Co-founder & Executive Director of Adhyayan, Kavita Anand is catalysing a committed learning community of educators across India to transform the learning of students. For more than three decades as an educator, researcher, funder, school and system leader, and now edupreneur, she would like to ensure a good school for every child. Her school transformation journey started when she worked with college students and set about finding out the challenges for quality in education. Marks versus subjects; is society the challenge; how do we build an exemplar school; the need for the child to lead learning; and finally, how do we provide the scaffolding space for the teachers. Kavita set up Shishuvan and showcased what goes into the making of a good school. Looking at the future and following her passion gave rise to Adhyayan. In the conversation, she tries to explain how we can decode a good school, the framework and policy, and finally establish the impact on learning, driven by data and analytics. When questioned about the visual effect of education, she states that the truth is that an 18-year-old will have forgotten all that they have learnt at school, so best there is the pressing need to make sense of what the child needs.

Episode #84: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Abhijit Sinha, the creator of Project DEFY, enabling underserved communities to create an education for themselves through self-learning spaces called Nooks. At Nooks, individuals (children and adults) learn what makes them curious and caters to their needs and interests. Nooks are Schools without Teachers, Exams or even any curricula. They are controlled and managed by the learners themselves, who take complete charge of their own learning. Through DEFY, Abhijit has worked with over 17 communities and enabled 7000+ individuals to become self-learners. He has set up Nooks in 3 countries such as India, Uganda, and Rwanda and is now looking at setting up a Nook Hub in Zimbabwe. Abhijit believes that education should bring education back into the learners' hands, and the onus to choose what, when and how they learn should be a decision left to them. Nooks are cost-effective, self-learning environments where the learners design & define education for themselves. A community space that fosters curiosity, innovation, creativity, and critical thinking. A safe space where people from abject poverty, vulnerable communities, at-risk environments can come and create relevant life goals. In this podcast, he reflects on his personal experience and how dissatisfied he was living in the industrial age! Chasing a material life and not living one complete day, he says we need to slow down, think and work to become complete human beings. This is only possible when we live for the present moment and not keep working for the future under the pretext of getting educated. Abhijit doed not want education to be merely a transfer of instruction. Education is a much more interesting process of self-discovery and understanding of local and global surroundings.

औपचारिक शिक्षा की शुरुआत शायद लिखने की शुरुआत के तुरंत बाद लगभग 2000 ईसा पूर्व के मिस्र में हुई थी, कि लिख पाना इज़ाद करने के बाद उसे अगली पीढ़ियों तक पहुँचाया जाना सबसे ज़्यादा ज़रूरी था। कहा जाता है कि स्कूल अपने आधुनिक रूप को सबसे पहले 1635 में अमरीका के बॉस्टन लैटिन स्कूल के द्वारा प्राप्त हुए। हालांकि विभिन्न देशों के इतिहास अलग अलग बात कहते हैं। शुरुआती स्कूल केवल शासकों और उनके वंशजों को शिक्षित करने के लिए बने थे मगर धीरे धीरे वह सर्व सामान्य के हाथ आ सके। औपचारिक, अनौपचारिक, गुरुकुल पद्धति या अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय प्रणाली से संचालित, रॉयल या पब्लिक, ग्लोबल या नेशनल, ऑफ लाइन या ऑन लाइन स्कूल हमेशा से भविष्य संचालित करने वाली पीढ़ी के सबसे करीब रहे हैं और इसलिए उनका स्वरूप भी विकसित होता आया है। स्कूल पढ़ने-पढ़ाने व सीखने-सिखाने को ज़रूर बने हैं, मगर वह कदापि पढ़ने-पढ़ाने व सीखने-सिखाने तक सीमित नहीं हैं, स्कूल सिर्फ़ स्कूल नहीं हैं!

Episode #82: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Mukesh Shalet, an educator and a life long learner. A firm believer in Kaizen he evolved as a teacher by close observation of his peers, school visits and compiling best practices. Long before pedagogical practices like learning styles, Multiple Intelligence, theatre in education & cooperative learning gained currency he used them as a teacher & mentor. He believes that a superior force works through him to impact the lives of students & parents. His interests beyond education include ‘the why theatre’, psychology and the occult sciences. A life long learner Mukesh would like to be reborn as one foe there is so much to learn & a lifetime is not sufficient. He has been a school leader in boarding schools, day schools, coed schools and even today, as the principal of a school, he remains a teacher, as he loves to teach English. His passion for music and theatre offers us a glimpse of his sensitivity, the trust with his inner self and how, as a chief learning leader, he works to empower his teachers and students alike. As for most of us, his parents also played a key role in becoming a teacher; the compassion of his mother and the discipline of the father are both important traits of his character today—a family man who keeps up with the times and believes in values and traditions. In the podcast he shares how the year 2020 helped him and his team take learning forward, a major change from yesteryears, the teachers learnt as much from students who are more agile and savvy with technology. Finally coming to his belief: I believe that God continues to create children since he is not yet tired of the man. I also believe that man is yet to understand the mind of a child; I believe in striving for excellence in everything but also believe that excellence alone is not everything; I believe children must aim for high grades but I also believe that children who score low grades also succeed in life; I believe in grades that help children pass an exam but I also believe in values which see them through life; I believe parents when they tell me that children do not like to study but I also believe in children who tell me parents do not have time for them, and finally he states I believe in destiny but I also believe that we are makers of it.

Season 2 Episode 8: We LOVE this episode because it is so AMAZING what Abhijit Sahni has been able to create (Project DEFY: Design Education for Yourself). His story itself is amazing. He was taking the typical path, school to career, and realized he was much happier creating and making amazing things, so left the typical path and started a new one. And began to create spaces where community members could do the same. Sandeep Dutt, social entrepreneur, author of My Good School, Learning Forward podcaster, and HundrED ambassador, adds his thoughts. And our very good friend, Cath Fraise, founder of 100 Roads and Workspace Education, adds to the fun. Hear how Abhijit has created self-directed, community-driven spaces of “creating, making, and doing,” where the community is creating their own learning and making their own solutions. A big thanks to Chris Unger, Jim McCue and the team at A Revolution In Education.

Episode #75: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Ravi Kaimal, has been involved with The Fabindia School since the first brainstorming discussions with John and William Bissell. Ravi is a professional architect and is responsible for the design of the school buildings. He was also Chairman of Bhadrajun Artisans Trust (BAT), the non-profit, tax-exempt charitable society founded by William Bissell which established the school in 1992 and continues to help guide the school and provide financial support. Ravi writes, “The first block was designed to be built using maximum local materials and local skills so that it could be done with the least cost and time. The buildings are made almost entirely of stone available in the local area, and there is no wood used as wood is expensive and vulnerable there. This also came close to Mahatma Gandhi's approach of using only locally available materials. So our buildings are very much of their place, geography, climate and people. They are also optimized for their function, with very little energy being used. On the start of the hot summer of 1992 at the start of digging for the foundations of the first block at the school in Bali, the earth was so hard that water- bought from a farmer- had to be poured on it to break it! As you can see today, the land was barren, and there was no soft greenery, only thorny bushes.” Ravi Kaimal, visiting the area frequently before the school is set up to collaborate and brainstorm with John and William Bissell; As the Principal and Founder of Kaimal, Chatterjee Associates, an architectural firm in New Delhi, formal training includes a B. Arch (1987) from the School of Planning; Architecture, New Delhi and has been practising in Delhi since 1990. Ravi's interests and experience extend beyond architecture to photography, art direction for films (Art Director of Arundhati Roy's feature film) and rural education; Ravi has travelled extensively in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, US, Spain, Italy and UK photographing places of architectural and environmental significance. He is the recipient of a prestigious UNESCO award for heritage conservation for his work in Rajasthan. In the show, he credits his passion for education to his family and grandparents, shares how the focus on the girl child and push for quality education in rural India has made a huge difference. As a parent, he adds that today with technology and tools, couples and balance work and family raise children who are better equipped for the world.

Episode #73: Sandeep Dutt, in conversation with Lavalina Sogani, founder of Vimukti, providing high-quality education free of cost to girls from low-income families living in urban slums of Jaipur. Convinced the community to send their daughters to school. Earlier, girls were either forced to take up some micro-level income-earning activity, work as domestic help or stay at home and look after siblings while parents went to work. VGS was looked upon merely as a place where girls got free meals. But as girls learnt to read and write, helped their parents with mathematical calculations and reading newspaper/letters, parents realised the importance of girl education. Girls who have completed vocational training programmes are now gainfully employed. Listen to her story of awe and inspiration, starting with 20 girls to near 750. They have tirelessly worked not just to educate girls but families.

Sandeep and Kiran share their stories and their passion for changing how we support youth around their heart, love, making a better world, and relationships. And then Chris asks: For someone listening to this, what can THEY do? Sandeep Dutt is the author of The Good School, founder of Learning Forward India and the Learning Forward podcast, Ambassador of hundred.org, Chairman of the Bhadrajun Artisans Trust, entrepreneur mountaineer doing what he can to create "happy schools" for a better world. Kiran Sethi is the founder of the Riverside School in India, which has, over the last 20 years, become a beacon of possibilities when you focus on students and empower them to make a difference in the world, which has subsequently created a global movement called Design for Change.

As much as our world changes – socially, economically, politically and technologically – for the most part, our schools remain the same. Yes, there are some minor improvements. And good ones too. However, most of these are still employed within an antiquated system and practices that do very little to impact our youth's greater well-being and future truly. To judge schools (as we have done) solely on students’ performance on standardized ELA and math assessments has unwittingly pressed most schools and their systems made accountable to these results to “double-down” on this focus at the expense of the greater well-being of our youth.

But what do we mean by the greater well-being of our youth? Rather than answer that by myself, you can hear this from the voices of the dozen-plus outstanding educators who contributed to this podcast. And not only do they speak to the need for a transformation/revolution of our schools and school system for the greater good of our youth, but in the end, the greater good of our communities and our humanity.

Touched upon throughout is the need to allow ALL of our youth to pursue the lives they wish to live. Touched upon is the need to imagine the possibilities of learning and learning communities that can contribute to the well-being of our youth, our communities, and the world and the NEED to pursue these possibilities and learn as we go. Finally, the contributors speak eloquently about the power of relationships within and across communities to transform education toward a greater purpose and engage everyone in that transformation. We need to co-create so that we can co-learn, which can then lead us all to a shared transformation of outcomes rather than the transactional factory system we seem to be stuck in that resembles the "I Love Lucy" chocolate conveyor belt (if you are old enough to have seen this clip).

We need gardens that both value and support the natural growth of our youth. And we need gardens plentiful with the resources that allow each individual and the garden to thrive and be abundant and generative.

These educators give us some insight as to what it takes to grow such gardens – the result of a revolution through transformation.

Schools can be similar and yet poles apart, even in the same neighbourhood. Every school is unique and different. End of the day, it is simply the teachers' love for the profession that helps spread the joy of learning.

Episode # 67: Sandeep Dutt, in conversation with Kapil Gaba, is committed to fighting systemic inequality by democratising and decentralising access to resources and support networks. Kapil has spent the last 16 years in the education sector and has moved to innovation and entrepreneurship. He believes these will be the drivers of the economy and society for the next 20 years—they're a startup based in the United States of America. OneValley’s mission is to be the World’s Innovation Community that supports the global startups and their founders with critical services and support in their ideation, launch and acceleration. The transition was necessitated by the fact the traditional model of getting a University degree and then getting a job will be increasingly under challenge. With more technology replacing people, there may not be enough jobs to support students in millions completing their education every year. Therefore, a lot of these students will have to become entrepreneurs either by choice or by circumstances. We need ecosystems and communities to support people engaged in entrepreneurship. In the show, he talks about a life-changing incident where one young person lays prostrate on his feet, speaking in a language alien to him and pleading for a job. He delves deep to find out the role of family and leadership, the need to move from rote-learning to critical thinking, handling complexity, and collaborate to meet the social conditions in the complex world.

Humility and Appreciation, narrated by Mohini Chauhan of The Doon Girls’ School at Dehradun. The future of education will be built on immutable values alone: Appreciation, Caring, Co-operation, Courage, Freedom, Friendship, Happiness, Honesty, Hope, Humility, Love, Patience, Peace, Quality, Respect, Responsibility, Simplicity, Thoughtfulness, Tolerance, Trust, Understanding & Unity. Joy Of Learning (JOL) is based on The Little Book of Values: Educating Children to Become Thinking, Responsible and Caring Citizens by Julie Duckworth and Ian Gilbert, explores twenty-two values that can be taught through schools. This program will inspire you by using examples of where the values are already being used by children and adults in schools and share practical tools to stimulate discussion and philosophical debate. It will also help people to take stock of their values and how they wish to lead their life. There is always something to appreciate, in someone, even the worst character will have something to be appreciated. So we should appreciate it as that’s the only way to build the self-esteem of a student. In a class there are braggers or the boasters who are the opposite of humility, probably they are most in need of appreciation as they haven’t achieved much. And the people who achieve appreciation or are acknowledged tend to be most humble because everyone knows and applauds them. So I think if the teacher focuses on what can be appreciated and bringing ng their self-esteem up by saying good things then they will also come to a point where they will start appreciating themselves and then become HUMBLE. Humility is at the RECEIVING end and Appreciation is at the GIVING end, that is why these two values sync very well. The bottom line is a child has to be a GOOD HUMAN BEING. If the children are coming out of school as good human beings then obviously they were taught by good human beings.

Alex shares how he grew up in harmony with nature, daydreaming in the countryside, and still claims to have the childlike simplicity in him! He feels that like Picasso was very clear, we need to unlearn and keep it simple, a futurist must do that. There is the need to be simple and clear and he loves the way, Sir David Attenborough in A Life On Our Planet shares the need for harmony with nature and peaceful co-existence, as the first step for saving the world, which is crumbling due to the rampant industrialisation and human consumption. There is the need to reinvent an organic model for learning, if the child does not feel the warmth of relationship, the child will perhaps put the village on fire. Love and Fear are two diametrically opposite ends, and we must all work to build relationships, this alone is the meaning of education.

Episode #59: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Hanna Dudich a teacher of English and a vice-principal at Taras Shevchenko Himnazia in Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine. She has been teaching for 20 years. She is a HundrED Ambassador, a PenPal Schools Ambassador, a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert, a Nearpod Certified Educator, a National Geographic Certified Educator, a Scientix Ambassador, a NAYTEA STEAM Ambassador, a SIMA Teachers Award 2020 recipient. In 2017 Hanna became a Global Teacher Prize top 50 finalist and a Global Teacher Prize Ambassador, which allowed her to connect with leaders in the field of education. Hanna shares how she grew up with limited resources, the role her teacher played in helping her explore the wider world in a country that was very much not connected with the world, tourist did not frequent Ukraine as they do today. She grew up doing a lot of reading and writing, got an opportunity to go on an exchange as a student and get a first-hand feel of what she describes as a 'culture shock'. Today with the world getting smaller due to better communication and use of technology, we can virtually experience how life and living differ in other countries. Hanna grew up with a teacher who had a great world view, they got magazines in English to read, listened to music in English and made penpals. Today she communicates with people with the use of Zoom, email and even travels. The idea of her teacher to invite visitors and the scant foreign tourist to the class for discovering how people live in other parts of the world may now seem alien!

Episode #46: Sandeep Dutt in conversation with Kiranbir Sethi, Growing up, design and innovation were pervasive in Kiran’s environment. It was while visiting her older sister at the National Institute of Design (NID) on winter vacation that she became smitten and applied to NID—abandoning her plans to study medicine. Though NID accepts students only after having completed class 10+2 studies, they made an exception for Kiran, and after a difficult administration process, took her during her eleventh year of school. From when Kiran was a graphic designer until she began Riverside School, she has demonstrated the ability to understand complex issues; from founding a world-class school or convincing the administration of Ahmedabad to partner with her to achieve her vision. A Global Teacher Prize Winner and a design thinker, who has put in her heart and soul to see the joy of learning come alive in children and perhaps deep empathy with teachers. A rare amalgamation of Design and Education and she uses experiential learning at it's best and is a protagonist of safe urban spaces for children. In the podcast, she shares how she built Riverside, and will perhaps not do this again. Looking at the current environment, she is optimistic and the recent times seem to have acted as a catalyst to bring a much-needed focus on education and how the lives of teachers are deeply intervened with not just learning but even more with building relationships with the students of the new world.

For a better quality of life, we need the teachers to lead the children with love, they need to build an inherent quality in what they do together to bring learning to life. Can our society along with the desire of educators teach our children the values they need to take responsibility for living and learning? It's simple; the children are our future, it's our moral duty in schools to provide a Values-Based curriculum, and live a life of quality filled with the love of people and the environment.

Episode #1: Meet Anju Kish, a mother who isn’t afraid to talk about sex education, she speaks with Sandeep Dutt on the opening episode 'I am passionate about Education!' Her enterprise Untaboo is a company dedicated to Sex-Sexuality-Safety education. It was launched in 2011 as ‘Out of the Box’. At that time, sex education was an out of the box idea, but in today's scenario, it is a need; an urgent one! However, there are still taboos surrounding it. We are a country of over a billion, so obviously we are indulging in sex – a lot of it! But the hesitations kick in only when we have to talk about it. These hesitations are what we at Untaboo hope to tackle and thus we have embarked on a mission to break those taboos and make sex education acceptable and accessible to all. https://untaboo.in/
