Life Lessons from Shakespeare | Geetanjali Sial Khurana | TEDxGADVASU
Geetanjali Sial Khurana brings Shakespeare’s timeless plays to life as guides for modern living. Through Macbeth, Julius Caesar, The Merchant of Venice, and The Tempest, it highlights lessons on ambition, pride, mercy, and forgiveness. With powerful parallels to real-world leaders, relationships, and personal struggles, it shows how Shakespeare’s stories reflect universal human truths. More than literature, they are mirrors to our choices - teaching us to live with values, humility, compassion, and freedom.

Holding advanced degrees in English Literature, M.Phil. in English, and Mass Communication, she blends academic depth with modern teaching strategies enriched by international research in London.
