My Quora journey - a major breakthrough!

     Quora World Meetup 2020

I'm glad to share my thoughts and feelings:

Today (August 13, 2020) I was able to attend the official Quora World Meetup 2020 online. It was an amazing experience for me being a panelist among a few other top/popular/enthusiastic contributors. It  will be a lifetime memory for me. I had  never attended any previous Meetups,  even at the city level, that's Quora Bhubaneswar Meetup. 

This was my first ever meetup. It was a dream come true. It's really overwhelming 

As I was alwas very curious to know everything, gain knowledge about the causes and effects, I kept on searching Google to quench my thirst for knowledge. 

Luckily I stumbled upon Quora a couple of times. Also I got to know about what is Quora and how to create an account/set up a profile, in detail, through watching videos on YouTube. 

I got interested in Quora and became more and more active since the beginning of 2019. At first I was busy with questions and answers. But soon Quora allowed me to create spaces. I was excited to create some interesting/informative/beneficial spaces which grew quite well in quantity and quality as well.  

However I had never imagined that someday I will be able to reach this stage in my life, where I had a special invitation from the Community Manager, Writer Relations, Quora to be among a handful of panelists. There were top/popular/enthusiastic writers from around the globe. It was an honor to meet them and engage in conversation with them. There were questions/answers session and a rapid fire round in which we all participated with great fun. Though there were some technical issues/glitches at times. But overall,  it was an amazing experience for me. 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:

I'm grateful to Quora for giving me such an opportunity to grow with my spaces. I gained tremendous knowledge through Quora. And also it gave me opportunity to explore my inner potential/passion for writing. 

Words can't describe, how thankful I am to the entire Quora team. 

Please accept my best thanks. 

Regards,

Transition in the role of a "TEACHER"

                                         "GURU" If you trace back to the past, you could understand how sacred was the concept of teacher. Only a real scholar, proven master, spiritually enlightened person, was recognized, appointed, and respected as Guru. As you know, India has a very old  (Guru Shishya) tradition. For his selfless service, teacher, the Guru, was held teacher in a very high esteem by the society and was respected by even kings. He was revered more than parents and enjoyed a unique status, even higher than that of gods:  "Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu Gururdevo Maheshwara! : Guru Sakshat Parambrahma Tasmai Shree Guruve Namah!! "  The Guru was an epitome of good qualities of head, heart and hand, spirituality, knowledge, scholarship. A true teacher was supposed to be a student till the end of his life.
