Raj Shekhar Mishra is a designer and consultant, based in Kolkata, India.
I have been involved in the field of education for more than three decades. Though not a teacher or educator, I have had the opportunity to work with children and students and teachers from the primary grades to college level, both private and government sponsored.
I have designed, made and marketed educational aids in science, mathematics, engineering and architecture for universities, research and educational institutions and museum and learning resource centers.
My interests are intellectual, creative and aesthetic - mathematics, poetry and design.
In mathematics I am interested in ideas behind symbols, its application to physical and social sciences; in "form" - geometry, its application to art, architecture and design.
Poetry that is imaginative and touches the heart - a combination of thought-feeling and sensitivity to nature, people and the world.
Design - problem-solving to create an ecofriendly environment that is functional, aesthetic and user-friendly.
These three have shaped my philosophy, my beliefs and attitude to life.
I would like to share my thoughts with you and if possible activities and projects.
