A Learner for LIFE

As a writer,I have always been enamoured by the Human Nature. I observe, study and trace on paper the Life around me.

Just yesterday I was presented with another unique opportunity in a Study of a Different kind. I am going to attend a Faculty Development Programme for the teaching staff of the Chemical Engineering and Food Technology Department of Panjab University!

I am over the moon! This is the first ever seminar that I would be attending. The focus of the Programme is "‘Moving from Pedagogy to Andragogy". The whole idea of being on the other side of the fence is so enticing.

Years of instructing, advising and motivating can leave one drained out. I had even taken a sabbatical from work to replenish my energies and then get back to my work of instructing. This programme has really come as a pleasant surprise for me. 

I would also like to emphasise here that I do not shirk away from Learning. I feel that no age is too big or too much for us to learn more about things that we already know; or to learn new things. 

Being a Learner is such a privilege: One is allowed to make mistakes, ask questions and chart new boundaries.

So, I am looking forward to this seminar with all my faculties fine-tuned to catch every morsel of knowledge thrown towards me: to devour it and to assimilate it!

You, on the other hand I promise to keep posted on the latest knowledge to enter my realm, live from ground zero.

Cheers to Learning!
