Abstract
The work of Teaching Assistant (TA) is compulsory for the Ph.D. students in many (Indian) Institutes. Through this short article, I share my experiences in working as a TA in the Structural Geology classes in IIT Bombay. Such an avenue gave me the very first exposure to teaching. Gathering such teaching experiences for a few years, eventually, I have been able to publish a map interpretation book (Bose and Mukherjee, Map interpretation for structural geologists. Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2017). The teaching experience has been fulfilling in terms of this output, and it also cleared my geological doubts in some issues.
