Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

by Train Today to Reap Tomorrow

This one is not simple as I have had many from Kindergarten to Middle School to High School to Under Graduate to Graduate. Actually as a student of the Master of Yoga in the current year as well.

First, let me tell you why someone becomes n influential, and here are my 7 reasons to support it.

1. When they teach their subjects passionately.

2. When they see you are the weakest link in the class and make you stronger by the end of the year.

3. Teaches with empathy.

4. Knowledge sharing is caring. Tell you to refer to more books and share the knowledge with the class.

5. They also keep upgrading their knowledge.

6. They know that they don’t have the answer to all your question related to the subject or not but guide you in the right direction.

7. They feel young by heart and always inspiring.

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

All teachers who have taught me have influenced me in some shape or form. Thank you so much.

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

by Train Today to Reap Tomorrow

I am not sure I will go for any but if yes it would be in my arm.

It would be OM SHANTI SHANTI SHANTI and here is why?

PS: AUM or OM is for Oneness for mind, body, and spirituality.

PS1: Shanti is a Sanskrit word and in English it means Peace

Why 3 times?

The 1st Shanti is for peace of Nature, for example, any natural hazards like earthquakes, tornados, etc.

The 2nd Shanti is for the peace of folks who are around us.

The 3rd Shanti is for peace of self.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti, we say before starting any event or going to a place.

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

This prompt made me smile and here is why?

The easiest one is the Airplane. You arrive at the airport 2 hours before the departure, go through security, hop on your seat, and without any worry and some turbulence you are at the other hand of the country. If you are lucky your fellow passenger will talk to you when you initiate or else they will be plugged in.

In some countries, the train journey is the best and the one I have enjoyed from my school days is from Delhi to Banglore. I have not done this in the USA. Not sure also this is on my list. Also, I have traveled on Saloon Train ( this has bedrooms, a kitchen, and private bathrooms) from Delhi to Nainital. That was the best.

By Bus, my longest again is from Delhi to Vaishno Devi, Katara ( Jammu and Kashmir) again from my school days. Also, we booked a bus to visit to do river rafting in Shivpuri in Rishikesh. As a family, we have taken a 3 bus tour from Toronto to Quebec, Montreal, and 1000 islands in Canada. All bus tours have been fun with friends or family.

By car, we have traveled as the east as New York and as south as Orlando. Yes, this would be the preferred way to travel from coast to coast. The most memorable one that I only have is the photo in which my Dad drove us in his Ambassador car to Puri in Orissa.

Not bike but yes bicycle would be another preferred way. This would require a lot of endurance training.

That’s my long answer what would be yours?
