Dr Subodh is a former colleague who I had the good fortune to hand pick for my institution as an Assistant Professor. He brings passion and intellect in a rare combination as a teacher , mentor and a very willing worker. It’s rare to see commitment towards his subject matching with the strings of his tabla that can captivate all age groups. He leads by example & leaves a mark on his audience.
