  1. i have never seen a mentor like him, he is not just a mentor, he is not just subjective he teaches live.
    he is known for his intergrity, worship for not only english, but for his students as well
    a reknowned translater ,a great human who knows the value of humanity Dr.Amar Chaubey.
    After completion of his Alma meter from a dream university like BHU ,He never looked back.
    a poet,a romantist,a well known motivational speaker provides you the best essence of his talent.
    when he delivers his lecture ,it gives a immense pleasure to the students.
