Swapna Nair is a national award winning second grade teacher of Social Science and English in various schools in India & abroad with 27 years of experience. She also works closely with school authorities, communicating with parents and providing academic guidance to students. She is now a happy grandmom now and loves travel, food and movies. On the show, we discuss her early childhood, her adventures in Assam, alternate schooling and how CBSE and matric are not the only options for your child. We chat about parenting and upbringing-why parents need to be more attentive and patient, how and why they should keep their vicarious ambition in check. We also discuss writing, her favourite books and her mastery of saying NO to things and people. We close with a conversation discussing her moment of fame when she was chosen as the cover girl for the home improvement magazine called ‘Good Housekeeping’
