A lot goes in the head, little on the paper, and very little under print!
Within the two extremes, symbolizing the joy of discovery, a plain 'smile' and an animated 'aha' moment, lies the tale of cognition, and as an education researcher, I find it fascinating to observe this process of cognition. I also derive a lot of pleasure in sharing with instructors the different ways in which this joy of discovery could be made visible within the temporal limits of a class. And, hence, I have written a few articles dedicated to teachers-

Self/Social Issues
I have been deeply moved by different issues at various points of time and multiple incomplete articles on my dropbox vouch for that! However, a few articles that could get under the print are shared below-
