EMPATHETIC APPROACH & CREATIVITY

Inspired students and residents for an empathetic and considerate behaviour with
public, relatives, students and other people coming across us

I had regular presentations before my students, residents and also employees to

inspire the frustrated and depressed students by positive attitude by self demonstration
and role playing.

SPIRITUAL
I have been coordinating with Brahmkumaris for meditation and positive attitude.
This helped us in reducing anger and being cordial, affectionate and less reactive to
others. There were regular programs with Surgery department for students, employees
and Tobacco or drug addicts. I have facilitated spiritual discussions at Brahmakumari
centres in Ireland, Thailand and India, among others.
