He Taught, I Became: Dr. Nina Apra’s Homage to Her Teacher



Writers’ Kalam Literary Bulletin proudly welcomes one of India’s most dynamic voices, Dr. Nina Apra, to the pages of its heartfelt anthology To My Beloved Teacher. Her poetic tribute, “Sir, You Live On: A Student’s Ode to Dr. Abdul Qadir”, is a powerful piece of remembrance — a blend of reverence, memory, and emotional resonance — honouring the indelible mark of a teacher whose legacy still breathes in the lives he shaped.

Known to the world as an award-winning anesthesiologist, bestselling author, orator, performer, and advocate, Dr. Nina Apra brings to this anthology the same raw truth and passionate insight that define her life and work.

A Trailblazer with Many Voices

A master of reinvention and resilience, Dr. Apra has turned life’s fiercest challenges into milestones. From the hospital ward to the literary world, she moves with a spirit unbound — illuminating stages, hearts, and minds. Her acclaimed literary works include:

  • Echoes of Life: Unscripted True Stories of Resilience and Triumphs

  • Sacred Silences: War, Love, Loss

  • Beneath: Mind Matters (on mental health)

  • Scarscript (romance fiction)

  • Horror Mangta Kya

  • Stories of Courage: Volume 2

Whether writing about the haunted corners of the mind or the sacred spaces of love and loss, Dr. Apra’s pen bleeds authenticity.

Her voice has echoed far beyond books. As a TEDx speaker (PCTE Ludhiana, 2025), a COVID Warrior, and Change Maker of the Year, her presence is both a celebration and a call to action. She is also a trained CPR/COLS and POSH educator, and a tireless advocate for women’s dignity, mental health, and child safety.

A dancer, singer, stand-up comedian, poetess, and storyteller — Dr. Apra is a full-spectrum artist who chooses expression over inhibition, truth over silence, and heart over hesitation.

In Her Words, a Teacher Lives Again

Her submission “Sir, You Live On” is not just a tribute — it’s a testimony to a teacher whose wisdom transcended the classroom. Dr. Apra captures what it means to be shaped not only by knowledge but by the quiet strength of a mentor’s presence. Her writing reminds us that a true teacher never truly leaves us — they echo in our choices, our courage, our character.
