CM: Your hobbies include teaching. Can you tell us about that?
ME:Sir, I have liked teaching since childhood. I used to teach my younger siblings and the
children of my colony. Now I teach some children of my maid servants. (I didn't mention
teaching in coaching because people had advised me against that)
CM: No, tell me if you are teaching students in a class, how would you make sure that they
followed what you were teaching?
ME: Sir, I would first try to understand the level of cognitive maturity of students. Then I would
try to adjust the speed of teaching to suit most of the students because at any level of teaching
not all students would be satisfied. I would include practical examples to make them understand
the concepts better. The students who have somehow not grasped the things I taught them, I
would give them time other than the class to make sure they understood it.
(he apparently was satisfied. So he let it go. He gestured to the 1st lady member on his left)
M2: Your hobby is teaching. So can you tell me about a few education schemes of GOI
ME: I told her about SSA. She inturrepted me.
M2:Can you tell me if there are any provisions for handicapped children under SSA.
ME:Ma'm I am not sure if there are any. But there mustbe.
M2: (Interrupts)..That's fine. Your extra curricular activity said Debating. I will give you a topic.
Can you debate on that.
ME: Yes ma'm.
(I was a little apprehensive if this gamble would pay off. But it did. She didn't look offended.)
M2:(looking very happy) Excellent Shubhra. You have argued well in both directions. But you
forgot to mention the role of husbands.
ME:(I smiled) yes Ma'm. Thank you.
M2: So Shubhra, you have stayed in many states. Which state have you stayed maximum in?
ME: Ma'm I have stayed for 16 years in Jharkhand and 12 years in UP and 2 years in AP.
M2: Do you think we should be using words like hegemony in context of international relations.
India is a big country and shouldn't it allow her neighbour countries autonomy rather than
dominating them?
ME: Ma'm, (how to redefine the meaning of hegemony???) , I didn't mean hegemony in the
sense of controlling a smaller country for one's vested interests. I meant primacy in international
relations.
India is a very big country and that is the reason most of her neighbours are insecure about
India's intentions. But India is a very peaceful country and instead of dominating its neighbours
she extends whatever support it can to her neighbours.
M2: It is you who are saying that India is a peaceful country.But other countries don't think so.
ME: Ma'm, I have had the fortune to work abroad in many countries and everywhere I meet
people they always say that India is perhaps the most peace loving country in the world.
M3: Can you tell me what is this structure in Roorkee where there is a canal over river?
ME: Sir, it's called aqueduct.
(He is looking visibly impressed..am glad all the research paid off)
M3:Tell me your hobby is teaching. Why does ragging take place ? there was a committee
created for tackling ragging.
ME:I told him it was Raghavan committe. I told them the psychological and sociological reasons
for ragging.
M3: Since your hobby is teaching,Tell me, what was the committe recently created for higher
education reforms? (I am wondering why they are all fixated on my hobby only)
ME: Sir I am not very sure. But I think it was Yashpal committee.
(Everyone murmurs..yes yes)
