Some people spend their lives seeking knowledge, but for Putul Majumdar, learning has been as natural as breathing. At seventy-one, she remains as curious, passionate, and determined as she was in her younger years. Whether as a teacher, a mother, an artist, or a spiritual seeker, she has embraced every phase of her journey with resilience and an open heart.
Lighting Up Minds: A Legacy of Interactive Education
Putul’s journey in education began in the 1980s when she became a mathematics teacher. For nearly four decades, she devoted herself to making numbers less intimidating for her students. Teaching was never just about formulas and equations for her; it was about igniting curiosity and making learning a joyful experience.
She recalls a moment when her students struggled to understand the difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Instead of repeating textbook definitions, she encouraged them to observe their surroundings. By pointing out real-life examples, she saw their faces light up with understanding. Moments like these defined her teaching philosophy learning should be interactive, engaging, and insightful.
Even after retirement, she never stopped learning. At fifty-five, she took up computers and later ventured into digital painting, transforming her traditional artwork into digital creations. She believes that staying young isn’t just about physical activity but about keeping the mind engaged.
Against the Odds: Prioritizing Education, Forging Success
Life was not always easy for Putul. After marriage, she moved from Uttar Pradesh to Bihar, adjusting to a new environment. Raising a family during political and economic instability came with its own set of challenges. Despite financial uncertainties, she and her husband prioritized their children’s education. Today, her daughter is a Supreme Court advocate, and her son, an MBA graduate, is settled in Bangalore a testament to their sacrifices and perseverance.
In 2005, a severe fall led to long-term knee issues. Doctors recommended surgery, but she chose yoga and physiotherapy instead. Through consistent effort, she regained mobility, proving that resilience and determination can be powerful healers.

The Healing Touch: Exploring Nature's Medicinal Wonders
Beyond teaching, Putul found joy in creativity. She immersed herself in knitting, embroidery, and tatting, finding peace in creating with her hands. Her recent interest in medicinal plants has led her to explore nature’s healing properties, reinforcing her belief that learning never stops.
Her spiritual journey has been deeply influenced by Swami Vivekananda. His teachings have guided her thoughts and decisions, fostering a deep-rooted interest in Sanskrit and ancient scriptures. She dreams of enrolling in an online Sanskrit course, furthering her quest for knowledge.

The Art of Re-Discovery: Finding Fulfillment in Later Years
Retirement was an unfamiliar phase, initially marked by a sense of emptiness. However, she soon embraced it as an opportunity to rediscover herself.
