An inspirational Teacher

The word guru is derived from two words, gu and ru. The Sanskrit root gu means darkness or ignorance, and ru denotes the remover of that darkness.
I have been blessed to have so many teachers in my life who have showered their knowledge, apart from parents teachers have the most profound impact on our psyche in life
I would not be talking about all of them here then the post would become a book, But I will talk about one
Prof S P Srinivas who taught us worldly wisdom through his finance lectures, Sitting through and listening him in class was an enormous experience, I always walked out with an awe feeling , how can one man have such an immense grip on so many subjects – Finance, Psychology, History, Literature and I can go on and on, and top to it all he has the best one liners on pretty much everything in life πŸ™‚
He was always in library outside classes, reading always reading – He was a real life example of what Munger calls a learning machine
Tons of what he said stays with me and guides me when I am indecisive, he is a permanent shining guiding light in my life
Fortunately one of his most fascinating farewell lecturer is recoded and captured by one of my seniors – Amal Xavier (if you reading this – A big shout to you)
William Arthur Ward said

β€œThe mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

Prof S P Srinivas is inspirational

    Hi Vivek,
    Thanks for sharing the videos, but i see that the video does not capture the full lecture, it captures it in small time duration, is there a specific reason? else can you also share the full length video of the lecture.
