A resident of West Mambalam, he said, “A parent of Class 9 student sought my help as his son was not doing well in academics. After a conversation with the boy, I found that he was feeling lonely despite being surrounded by people.
After a few sessions with him, his morale was boosted and he scored 100 per cent in mathematics in his Class 10 board examination.” Rajagopalan said that his non-judgmental approach helps people to open up to him. In his classes, he professes about various life lessons, including the importance of maintaining discipline, finding inner talent, being friendly with people, staying focused to achieve goals and sharing among the others.
Talking about another incident, he said that an adolescent boy was feeling disconnected from his family after his parents changed his school every two years. “This made him lose his friends over time, ultimately bringing a change in his behavior. Parents sometimes do not pay heed to such things. But, in reality, all these matter a lot for children.”
