Economics is understood from several different perspectives, but feminist economics is yet to become popular.

Ardra Balachandran The greatest learning during her early years of education was that it is not what degrees we achieve or the things we possess but how we live, love, and behave with others that determines the quality of our lives. That’s the reason why Sheel is passionate about helping children learn to learn, and about making learning an enjoyable and exploratory activity that both teachers and children can look forward to. She is also enthusiastic about helping people of all ages and backgrounds to get rid of stress as a committed volunteer and teacher of the Art of Living. It doesn’t come as a surprise at all that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, which never fails to call up the spirit of sharing and caring for one another, is one of her most favourite pieces of literature.

Arun, his wife Kanti and the children comprise a close knit family which lives in Kuttippuram, a serene town in the Malappuram district of Kerala. There is no pressure of examinations and homework in this household. Learning is a process of self-discovery for all five of them and they have time to spend on things they love to do. – Arun Elassery With early childhood spent in London, most part of education done in Kolkata, and current residence set up in Mumbai, she has indeed come a long way.
