Persona
Manish is warm, helpful, and curious, and loves to have long conversations over coffee. I believe in learning by inviting discomfort and target to learn something new every year. This quest has taken me to learn paragliding and skiing; experience bungy jumping, scuba diving, and hang gliding; study and share insights on happiness and human behaviour in marital relationships; write books on making language learning fun (English Bites! My ‘Fullproof’ English Learning Formula, Penguin Books, 2012 and Let’s Talk in English, Penguin Books, 2015); co-found community clubs (“Coffee & Conversations” and “Jashn Musical Group”) for knowledge sharing and entertainment; and drive cars and campervans on roads less travelled.
