Today, towards the end of my shift, I video called the relatives of a patient who is not going to make it. We usually do that in my hospital if it’s something they want. This patient’s son asked for a few minutes of my time. He then sang a song for his dying mother.

When I was a first year high school teacher one thing a mentor teacher taught me was, in those first weeks, try to take each kid aside & have a personal conversation with them. Make it clear you’re invested in them personally. It was the best piece of teaching advice I ever got.

Vijayapura DC Y S Patil didn’t take part in the final rites of his grand father, who breathed last on couple of days back. Patil was busy in administration work as district was flooded. @mani1972ias @NewIndianXpress @GMahesh_TNIE @santwana99

Kudos to this teacher from Kashmir who has made learning so interesting. Such innovations can bring about transformation in education. Worthy of emulation. #nexusofgood xitter.cf/ShujaUH/status/9752924…
Who wouldn’t want to go back to such a class. A Kashmiri teacher makes his pupils learn maths tables in an idiomatic way.
