What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

One of my secret skill is the ability to find happiness and contentment in my own company. I don’t need a crowd to thriveI’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself and staying productive with whatever resources I have at hand. To give you a glimpse into this, I’ve been living alone for the past couple of months. I fill my days with meaningful pursuits: my office work keeps me engaged, while hobbies like gardening, cooking, and keeping my home spotless give me a sense of purpose. I’m not someone who craves constant companionship or falters without a support network. Life has forged me into someone resilient, and I wouldn’t change that for anything. Fortunately, my wife and son share this same quality. Together, we’re a strong team; apart, we each flourish independently. It’s a trait that binds usand sets us free.

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

The most influential teacher I’ve ever had isn’t a personit’s life itself, woven from the tapestry of experiences I’ve encountered along the way. I suspect this resonates with everyone on Earth. As we navigate the winding road of existence, we stumble upon moments that wound us, uplift us, and leave their mark. These memories, etched into our minds, quietly shape the choices we make moving forward. No one in their right mind repeats the same mistake twicenot willingly, at least. The lessons life imparts are priceless, tailored precisely to our needs, forged by the very chapters we’ve written ourselves. Cherish them, hold them close. There’s no greater instructor.

What is one word that describes you?

The one word I would use to describe myself is ‘optimist’.An eternal believer in the theory that ‘I will survive’. Irrespective of the odds, I am sure that I would eventually get out of a tough situation in one piece. The tough initial years of my life maybe what makes me a firm believer in my survival instincts. Now on the last leg of my life I would rather build on the foundation that I have in place and spend the last few decades in understanding and making myself a better human being.
