World through My Lens

Book excerpt: Written over a period of time, in between her busy schedule as a senior Science teacher of a leading Educational Institute of central India, the title ‘World Through My Lens’, is a collection of short write-ups by Sandhya Deshpande who is an all-rounder with a unique observational skill and a lot of wits. Her creative impulses have tackled multifarious single-handed experiences from a vast career of twenty-five years in the field of education. This book will take readers down the memory lane of their school days, it will also help them cherish the best days of their life. The author’s observations are wide-ranging from nature to natural, manual to the digital, classrooms to the haunting backstage, from picnic to panic, from a need to greed, the imposition of unusual expectations to real-life conditions, from an under-confident student to a successful adult, etc. The write-ups can be a guide for parents and teachers to understand minute details and the hidden beauty of this profession. The written language is simple and will help readers relate easily. As said by Rabindranath Tagore Ji, ‘It’s simple to be happy, but difficult to be simple’.
