महिलांच्या ड्रायव्हिंग कौशल्यात काहीही चूक नाही, ती फक्त डिझाइनची चूक आहे. कारची रचना पुरुष-केंद्रित आहे, मोबाइल फोनसारख्या इतर अनेक गोष्टींसारखीच. महिलांच्या गरजा या जगात अनेक प्रकारे अदृश्य आहेत.

Nothing wrong with women's driving skills, it is just the design fault. The car's design is male-centric, similar to many other things like a mobile phone. Women's needs are invisible in many ways in this world.

हरी रामसुब्रमण्यन, अकाऊंटिंग आणि मॅथ गीक, त्यानी CA नंतर अकाउंटिंगमध्ये पीएचडी का करण्‍याची निवड केली, अकाऊंटिंगबद्दलचा त्याचा दृष्टिकोन कसा बदलला आणि ते त्याच्या शिकवणी आणि संशोधनाकडे नवीन दृष्टीकोन कसा आणतो हे स्पष्ट करतो. गोष्टी सुलभ करण्यासाठी आणि कुतूहल जागृत करण्याचा त्याचा शोध त्याला माझ्या ओळखीच्या सर्वोत्तम शिक्षकांपैकी एक बनवतो. पॉडकास्ट सर्व अकाउंटिंग विद्यार्थी आणि व्यावसायिकांसाठी पाहणे/ऐकणे आवश्यक आहे. ही माझी पहिलीच व्हिडिओ मुलाखत आहे जी YouTube वर प्रकाशित झाली आहे.
