pursuing a phd has taught me more about life than about control systems and optimization. the way society views education and its role in the very lives we live is predominantly associated with the means of lively hood. for some time now i have pondered on the role educators should play in a society and i firmly believe now that the most important role in the building of a nation is played by the teachers and role models that come to influence us all. bear in mind that ``teacher" here is a generic nomenclature. the course of my life has been predominantly determined by some great teachers i was fortunate to have come in contact with and i wish to play the same role for many future students of mine.
any ways this nice talk will certainly make you think deeply about the education system we are subjecting kids to. this is more relevant to us indians as we see our whole country being reduced to a nation of service providers to those who have the big money.
