Many who know me, either personally or via my blog, can easily guess how obsessed I am with sharing what I know. My blog has existed since 2007.

I am, of course, a Software Engineer by profession. A proud one at that — striving to bring engineering back to Software.

What are my other hobbies? Well, Software is my day job, and largely also my tinker-job at home. Apart from hobbies, I discovered that I have another great interest — teaching. Not a surprise, but I am talking about teaching Physics!

Teaching Physics requires some special skills that I recently discovered I have. It is a combination of logical thinking and art — well, almost nothing in Physics can be understood without drawing. Vectors, especially force you to draw (ok, Force is a vector :-)). You need to be extremely creative to visualise problems, and at the same time, need to hone your logical skills to get to the solution. I call it the left-brain-right-brain subject — a holistic treatment of your brainpower!

I am creating video courses for teaching Physics — CBSE Syllabus. Not really on commercial basis, but more like a serious hobby. Of course, I have my day-job, so I do not need to make money with this.

As a software engineer, the courses will be developed in an agile way :-) One-increment-at-a-time, and will be available for enrolling as soon as the first part is done.

So, learn with passion!
