The School Bell Podcast – A Production by Bethany
Why ‘The School Bell’?
In most schools, the bell signals the start or end of a lesson.
But here, it’s something more.
The School Bell is a cue for a different kind of conversation, the kind that begins when the class ends.
Where we step out of the syllabus and into real life.
Where we move from instruction to reflection.
And where schools aren’t just places of learning, but platforms of dialogue.
What Is This Podcast About?
At its core, The School Bell Podcast is about redefining the role of a school in today’s world.
We believe a school should not just prepare students for exams, but prepare all of us to engage with the questions, challenges, and choices shaping the country we live in.
This podcast is Bethany’s way of stepping beyond our classrooms and into the broader community.
In this inaugural episode of The School Bell Podcast, titled ”The Sky isn't the Limit,” we gather three remarkable aviators spanning three generations, each bringing their unique perspective on what it truly means to take flight in India today.
Join host Dr. Akash Ryall (Director – Bethany Institutions) in conversation with:
- Air Commodore M.M. Ali (Retd.), a decorated war veteran, respected VVIP pilot, and former senior instructor with over 8,000 hours of accident-free flying, including active service during the 1971 war.
- Capt. Anant Mathur, veteran fighter pilot, Air Force examiner, and test pilot with 35+ years in aviation, currently shaping future commercial pilots through his own aviation academy.
- First Officer Prithvi Saggar, a recently inducted Airbus A320 pilot, proud alumnus of Bethany High, and a young voice offering fresh insights from the cockpit.
Through personal stories and profound insights, they discuss the evolving landscape of aviation training, the critical lessons of discipline and decision-making learned high above the ground, and the courage it takes to navigate life's most challenging moments, both in the skies and on land.
Fasten your seatbelts as we take off into a conversation filled with inspiration, wisdom, and real-life lessons.
