  Lessons Learned, Transferable Skills & Key Milestones When I started my career in Education Management, I never imagined that one day I would be navigating the dynamic worlds of Data Analytics and Digital Marketing. And yet, here I am, grateful for every twist, challenge and growth opportunity that has shaped my journey. Chapter 1: Foundation in Education Management My early years were rooted in classroom teaching and later evolved into leadership roles involving curriculum planning, teacher training, counselling and school operations. This phase taught me: People management and communication. Decision-making in dynamic environments. Creative problem-solving with limited resources. The heart of education is impact. And making that impact required me to constantly ask: What’s working? What’s not? How can we improve? Chapter 2: Pivot to Data Analytics My curiosity for insights and improvement naturally led me to Data Analytics. I took a deep d...

In today's digital age, where content creation and personal branding have become a full-time career for many, the line between public engagement and personal invasion is slowly disappearing. This blog is not about calling someone out but about calling out a behaviour that is becoming alarmingly normalized. Over the past year, I have experienced repeated instances of indirect online harassment and personal targeting by a woman who is both a digital marketer and a social media influencer with over 9,000 followers. While her profile reflects content creation, beauty and lifestyle, several of her posts eerily resemble events and personal aspects of my own life, details that should never have been public, let alone be used as content. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to deal with this behavior. I’ve taken steps in the past, including filing a Non-Cognizable (NC) complaint and reporting her to Instagram’s security team, hoping that it would put an end to the psychological stress. U...

June 29 th is not just another day;  it’s  National Camera Day , a celebration of the invention that forever changed the way we capture and  remember life. Coincidentally, June 30 th marks World Social Media Day , spotlighting the digital platforms that help us share those camera-captured memories with the world. As an educator, these two days invite us to reflect on a powerful question: "How are we shaping the digital legacy of our children and ourselves?" Cameras in a Digital World The camera, once a bulky, manual device, is now seamlessly integrated into our smartphones and lives. With a single click, we freeze time, birthdays, tears, triumphs and routines. Social media, on the other hand, turned personal photography into public storytelling. Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are no longer just apps; they are our personal newspapers, photo albums and diaries all shared globally in real time. But with great power comes great responsibility. Pros & Cons of C...

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us experience stress and a range of emotions, including achievement, loss, happiness and more. For these seemingly minor struggles, one might wonder if therapy or counseling is essential. It’s important to recognize that the counseling word carries significant weight. Before recommending or suggesting it to someone, we should genuinely try to understand their perspective by stepping into their shoes and seeing the world from their point of view. Counseling and therapy are specialized fields that require proper training and skills. Professionals in this area undergo rigorous guidance and self-awareness exercises, often being counseled themselves, before they can effectively support others. It’s essential to acknowledge that providing guidance without appropriate expertise can be harmful. Many people today face immense stress due to work pressures, rising expenses, being the sole breadwinner and various other challenges. Often, all that is needed is k...

Today, on Father’s Day, we take a moment to recognize and celebrate the incredible men who play the role of fathers, grandfathers, uncles and father figures those who bring love, laughter and steadfast support into our lives. Their presence is a source of strength, guidance and comfort and their sacrifices often go unnoticed but are deeply appreciated.  While Mother’s Day rightly shines a spotlight on maternal love, it’s essential to acknowledge that fathers also deserve equal recognition and heartfelt appreciation every day. Their role is equally vital in shaping the lives of their children, acting as protectors, mentors, and friends. A life without a father’s influence is truly immeasurable, he plays a fundamental part in moulding character, instilling values and offering a sense of security that lasts a lifetime. Fathers often sacrifice their own needs and desires for the well-being of their children, working tirelessly and enduring hardships without hesitation. They face countl...

We have all been moved by powerful scenes in movies and series, where a character, broken by pain and loss, rises to seek justice. We cheer for them. We cry with them. We feel their rage, their helplessness and their ultimate triumph or tragedy. But once the screen fades to black, we are left with a pressing question: What is justice in real life and what happens when it’s confused with revenge? The Human Desire for Justice At the core of every society lies the idea of justice a system meant to protect, to restore, to make wrongs right. But justice is not just a legal concept, it's deeply emotional. It’s what people crave when they have been wronged, hurt or left broken. A parent who lost a child to violence wants answers. A person falsely accused wants their dignity back. A survivor of injustice wants recognition and restoration. This longing for justice is universal. But how we respond to that longing can either build a better society or tear it a...
