She invites listeners to join her on this journey of discussing teaching, purpose, and making a real impact in life. Hi everyone, welcome to the very first episode of my podcast, Igniting Minds with Nithya. I couldn't be more excited to be here with you today after 15 amazing years as a science teacher. I'm diving into something new, something I have been dreaming about this podcast. I can't wait to take you along on this incredible journey along with me. So let me share a bit about my story. I grew up in a small beautiful village in Tamil Nadu where life was so simple and full of magic. I spent my childhood walking through green fields, cycling, crossing rivers and just being in awe of nature every single day. Those moments made me fall head over heels for science and I knew I wanted to share that passion with others. That's when I decided teaching is my calling. Then life took me on an unexpected adventure. I moved to Chandigarh, a whole new world opened up for me. The language, the food, the culture, everything was different, but I embraced it. It made me realize that growth happens when we step outside of our comfort zone and that's when the magic really happens. As a teacher, I have learned that it's not just about teaching subjects, it's about lighting that spark, connecting with students and helping them believe in themselves. And now I am here to share those lessons with you, whether you are a teacher, a learner or just someone who is looking for some inspiration. So buckle up because we are going to talk about teaching, about purpose and about how we can make a real impact, not just in the classroom, but in life. Thank you so much for being here and I cannot wait to kick off this awesome adventure with all of you. Bye!
