    I watched him on Tarang. I am one of the villagers he is talking about. He made my childhood awesome and because of him I am here in one of the top leading companies in the world making things I like.
    Thank you Sir. You taught me how to learn

    That triangle explanation was such a brilliant one! I could never quite understand how a triangle is the most stable structure, using force diagrams. But it makes so much more sense to use a physical model, since the the original problem is primarily an architectural one!

    Best TEDtalk ever.
    Seriously, I've been wondering over a year now what to do with my life. Making kids smile and learn = indescribably epic win.

    Great Salute to Arvind Ji...
    The person who was having the chance to leave country in the time of 1970s after passed out from IIT which others were/are doing, but he decided to serve for country and really he is doing well... he can create the laboratory of a school lesser than 1000 Rs with much thoughts and idea, fully scientific for students...
    So friends share him thoughts to our new generation as much as possible...
    Jai HInd

    We all need teachers like you. In fact, the teachers need teachers like you. You remind me of something I read about a guy who became very rich from investing after applying some basic principles. He said, " if I see 5 cents (or 5 piasa) on the street I pick it up, not because its 5 cents but because I know what this 5 cents can become." You make this world a fun place to live in.

    my friend if the 98% of this world population wasn't working/dedicating their time to the rich money hungry corporate empires in this world then we would have Billions of Arvind Gupta type of people on this planet. In fact our life on this planet would have changed real fast. There are people out there as brilliant as Arvind Gupta who never had the chance to spread their creativity/knowledge to the world population. Now that we have internet it will be possible in the future.

    This video is really worth watching, and most touching. First, toys are environment saviours. Second, they are bliss for the children who want to learn even in the remotest part of any country.

    These toys show some of the most powerful and fundamental forces known to science. If a child is introduced to these concepts early and in a hands on way, they will have a head start on figuring it all out when they grow up and be much more curious and informed about the world based upon sound principles.

    If India has to become a superpower, we need many teachers like him. A kid who understands and enjoys science will do wonders when he/she grows up.

    @claudees The toys today are mere improved versions of the toys of the generations before. We are to respect the past but always look towards the future. This principle is often missed by both young and older generations.

    in Hindi, "Maha Atma" means "the great Spirit". This was the surname of Gandhi. Sure there's a part of Gandhi's Spirit blowing in this man's mind. Thanks !

    • @SakshiSingh-de9of
      @SakshiSingh-de9of 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A little correction there... "Mahatma" was not his surname... It was a kind of title that we have given him as you correctly said" the great spirit"... His surname was Gandhi itself... And his full name was Mohandas karamchand Gandhi!
