How much time does it take for anyone to become a great educator, an expert psychologist, an effective counselor or an interesting writer? No, let me revise all the questions. Is it possible to become all of these in one’s lifetime? Yes, Dr Jagannath Patnaik is a personified answer to these questions.
What amazes me the most is the way he successfully switches between these different roles and the passion he plays them with. He wouldn’t have reached the zenith in all these intellectual areas if he hadn’t given the emotional touch to them.
All these achievements may need just an intellectual ability. But deeds like helping thousands of children in rehabilitation need a humane approach and emotional sensitivity. Dr Patnaaik, with this blend of knowledge and a wonderful heart, is a great human being too.
