All of us are born with some quality. It is quality of being a human first. Being an educator by profession. I have come across so many students' parents and visitors. During my interaction with them I have listened to their stories and came to the conclusion that everyone has some magic in them which they need to know.. some need just a push whereas some need to be guided and motivated. I believe we need to spread out that magic out. Keeping this in mind I have tried to spread some magic ...
