Post by Dr. Ranjan Kumar Mohapatra Ph. D.

One year ago, on 1st February 2025, I wrote about completing the first year of my “Second Innings or Free Innings, as a friend put it”, a phase marked by transition, choices, and quiet hope. As I complete the second year of this journey, I felt the need to pause once again and reflect. This article is not a list of achievements, but a narration of people, classrooms, conversations, commitments, and convictions that shaped the year gone by from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2026. Sharing “The Second Year of the Second (Free) Innings” with #gratitude, #humility, and #faith. Dave Ulrich Johnny C.
