My Super Hero

My gurus taught me how to be significant in life, just as my parents taught me how to live in the world. 2005 was a significant year for choosing a career after earning an MBA. I received a call from Prof. Hanumantha Rao, the same mentor who motivated me during my MBA program, the same day I was chosen for a significant position with a reputable cellular firm. I immediately accepted the offer from the Allagadda Institute of Management Science in Allagadda, Andhra Pradesh after he helped me realize how important teachers are to society. The same young professor that the Great Teacher had planted has since broadened his sights to include everything from teaching to corporate training.

Why he serves as an example for me:

I still recall our first meeting in 2003, when I was only focused on winning the title and not too particular about the course. What are your dreams, Prof. Hanumantha Rao enquired? "Just to get a job," was my response. I noticed the professor's professorial smile. After the day had passed, Prof. Hanumantha Rao called his campus room. Despite having many reservations, the person entered and was greeted by the Professor with a smile. My life was changed in the following two hours. What is Life, among the numerous topics he discussed, was? What distinguishes existing in life from actually living it? making life meaningful, etc. The two hours motivated me.

Why he is my perfect teacher:

Surprised to see his hard work towards quality of teaching in the classroom, the inclinations towards the student’s level of expectations, Passion towards teaching, above all his great command on facts and figures. The way he deals with case study methodology is my all-time favorite in his teachings. One simple case study went on 5 days to conclude, what a fantastic learning time we had. He showed us the path, how to be a great teacher and how to make students admire you.

Top 10 recommendations for all teachers from Prof. Hanumantha Rao Late:

The following are the most important tips for developing into an ideal teacher in society, as determined by my observations and interactions with the outstanding professor:

1. Always be proud to be a teacher.

2. Giving nothing is preferable to giving kids the wrong things.

3. Always show them that you care.

4. Possessing the capacity to meet students' intellectual needs

5. Continue to lose weight of rotted knowledge

6. Continue the cycle of unlearning and relearning.

7. Be assertive when addressing jeers.

8. Work as if this were your final day on earth

9. Trust your gut

10. Develop learning skills.

Describe Prof. Hanumantha Rao in brief. Late

Prof. Hanumantha Rao was raised in Warangal, in the old Andhra Pradesh, and served as a professor in the department of commerce and management at Kakatiya University. He had a variety of positions in both teaching and administration. In 2022, he left to meet his maker. However, his legacy continues to live on to motivate more young people to pursue careers in education.

From Classroom to Corporate: The Quotients That Shape a Successful Life

From Classroom to Corporate: The Quotients That Shape a Successful Life Today’s world demands more than just intelligence to succeed. Scoring high in academics is no longer enough to thrive in career, relationships, and life.  A truly successful individual is a combination of multiple abilities, emotional strength, creativity, social skills, physical fitness, happiness, adaptability, and more. To simplify this idea, I framed a personality formula: P = f { IQ, PQ, EQ, SQ, SpQ, TQ, CQ, AQ, AQQ, HQ, LQ, FQ, DQ } (Personality is a function of many quotients working together.) Let us explore each quotient, what it means, how young people can build it, and why it is important. IQ – Intelligence Quotient It is all about thinking smart, problem solving, logical ability. It helps in analyzing problems, understanding tasks quickly, learning new concepts fast, and making logical decisions. To improve IQ practice reading, problem-solving, puzzles, observing patterns. PQ – Physical Quoti...

Teaching Is a Senseful Activity, but We Made It NON SENSE - From HEI view point I recently read Prof. Krishna Kumar’s column “The Teacher Is Walking Away,” and it felt more like a cry for help than just an article. He highlighted how teachers in CBSE schools are leaving classrooms due to excessive workloads and bureaucratic pressures that overshadow their true role as mentors and guides.  As I reflected on his words, I realized that a similar scenario exists in higher education institutions offering professional courses like engineering, medicine, and management. This insight inspired me to explore the various factors causing faculty in HEIs to step away from teaching.  To make these factors easier to understand and remember, I framed them under the acronym  NON SENSE . Teachers are not walking away because they have lost passion. They are walking away because the system has turned teaching into NON SENSE , quite literally. Let’s decode what’s behind this NON SENS...

Welcome to the age of “Showcase Dolls.”

  Show Case Dolls In today’s society, many parents are driven by an intense curiosity or rather anxiety to see their children “settled” in a high-paying job that promises lifelong money, social image, and security for their own retired life. A child is no longer just a child; he or she becomes a future investment plan, a walking résumé, and a brand ambassador for the family. Because of this fear and ambition, parents react to every trend in the job market. Yesterday it was engineering, today it is AI, data science, blockchain, and tomorrow it will be something else. They rush to coaching centers, skill academies, and foreign education agents. Sending children abroad is seen as a status symbol not always as a life choice. The image grows, but the connection shrinks. In this race, parents unknowingly miss a beautiful life the joy of growing with their children. Instead of shared meals, stories, and laughter, there are schedules, targets, and comparison charts. Children slowly turn...
