My Greatest Mentor Baba
-Deepti Saxena
I was fortunate to have an extraordinary guide in life. Baba was not only my father, but also my Zoology teacher. In the classroom, his teaching was unmatched in its clarity.
His lectures were so clear, engaging, and inspiring that we would understand and remember the subject right there in class. I still fondly remember his lessons on the mitochondria. He had a remarkable ability to make complex cellular structures feel vivid, fascinating, and effortless to understand.
"His passion for Zoology made the subject come alive for his students."
At home, Baba lived with that same clarity, warmth, and sense of purpose. He did not merely teach us Zoology the study of life he showed us how to live life with curiosity, precision, kindness, and heart.
Thank you, Baba, for being my greatest mentor not only in science, but also in life. Your teachings have remained with me and continue to guide me even today.
Baba, your legacy lives on in every mind you inspired, and especially in me, through every lesson you taught and every value you instilled.
Your loving daughter,
