What made you take up teaching as a profession?

40 years ago, I took to teaching to be selfreliant. Perhaps my personal approach of being passionate about everything I do, found me immersed into teaching, volunteering to take up related responsibilities.

Which is your favourite literary work and why?

'Prophet' by Khalil Gibran, amongst many others. It encapsulates deep philosophy in such simple words, that it sets you thinking and reflecting, amidst mental turbulence. I experienced the same with Ayn Rand's works on objectivism.
