00:00In the first few days of the upload, a child said that what you could explain in 10 minutes my teacher could not do in a week.
00:31Do you think that this actually happens? Let's check it out.
00:45After completing my college, I was campus placed and I started working in the IT sector as a quality analyst.
00:52But I still wanted to teach and reach out to the masses.
00:55So I thought internet would be a good medium to reach out to more people.
01:00Just out of that passion to teach, I started creating a couple of videos on YouTube.
01:05And I was really amazed to see the kind of response that I started receiving from the students.
01:11I was mostly working over the weekends or working late at night or early in the morning.
01:16So I remember waking up sometimes at 4 o'clock in the morning to record a lesson.
01:21So those were the times in the initial days.
01:25Do you think that this actually happens? Let's check it out.
01:48Absolutely!
01:56Do you think that this actually happens? Let's check it out.
01:59Children should not go for rote learning, which normally happens with children, especially in maths and science.
02:06For many of the concepts, they do not understand why it happens, how it happens.
02:10They will simply mug up some formulae and will try to solve questions.
02:14So that was something which I have been trying to change by creating these videos.
02:19Do you think that this actually happens? Let's check it out.
02:25Absolutely!
02:41What I feel is, if the content that you are watching is good and is engaging,
02:47it will ensure that the learners learn through it.
02:50And also another advantage of this is, the children always feel that freedom of choosing what they want to study and when.
02:59Because now they have that flexibility with them that okay, I want to study this now and something else later.
03:05I feel that it is more like a one-on-one interaction.
03:09So if I am teaching, maybe I am teaching some lakhs of students,
03:14but the person who is watching me would feel that it's a one-on-one interaction.
03:17And even if you don't understand something, you can rewind it over and again.
03:21Even today when I start working, the first thing in the morning that I do is,
03:51I read out a few comments or emails that I receive from children.
03:54And I think they motivate me a lot because they are like that morning dose for me to work every day.
04:02I think they are a great source of inspiration and motivation.
