A lot of my interest in biological research happened because of my time at P. S. Senior, and I owe a debt to all the excellent teachers here.

I was trying to find the exact words to describe the P. S. Senior advantage. The school taught us to work hard. It made hard work second nature.

If I were to identify the two most important things that I took away from my experience at PS, one was the ‘Pursuit of Excellence’, and two was a ‘Sound Value System.’

The teachers also took time to help us understand how to conduct ourselves in the real world. Lessons on hard work, perseverance, humility, and respect for others were some of the things that were focused on.

PS opened the doors of opportunity for me in music.

During testing times, when one’s grit comes to the force and one has to take decisions, it’s that leadership quality which I learnt from the school that helped me.

My teachers taught me not only the academic stuff but also taught me great morals and values, taught me how to behave in public, encouraged me to carry out whatever extra-curricular activities I wanted to.

It is my privilege and honour to be an alumnus of this illustrious institution. For me, P. S. is a landmark in Madras.
