Think Outside The Book
Handa
Growing up in a small town called Bharatpur on the eastern side of Rajasthan; he always nurtured dreams of being on the television. He got his first opportunity to do so in school for a quiz contest and his affair with never ending knowledge began. Hosting a television quiz show is a dream that he still nurtures and he has been a quizmaster on a few occasions. Realizing that quizzing will not be able to pay for his bread, butter and beer he went on to spend slightly above half a decade in IIT Kharagpur pretending to do a B. Tech and M. Tech in Computer Science. The transition from a student to a teacher occurred within a month when in July 2006 he joined IMS Learning Resources for his second love in life – Numbers. Over the years he has taught hundreds of students, quite a few of those are in the IIMs and most of them are on his friends’ list. With this venture, he hopes to share what he has learnt over the years and satisfy the camera fetish that he has had for decades.
