If there is something that I’m most proud of, it is my spirit of never giving up and following my heart against odds. One example that I can think of is from when I graduated high school. Having been an excellent student my whole life, it was expected that I’ll follow the traditional and also probably the most common path that boys of my age were expected to follow - go to an engineering college!
However, I wanted to study design, something that I was a lot more passionate about. Many people questioned this decision of mine including my own parents who managed to coax me into going to an engineering college for one year. However, I was willing to follow my instincts and didn’t give up on the dream. I appeared for the NIFT entrance exam the next year and got in with an All India Rank 15.
Years later a similar situation repeated when people questioned my decision, or even an ability to get into a business school. Once again, I made it happen. It is, therefore, a matter of pride for me that I have been able to follow my heart and do what I felt was the right thing to do despite many others claiming that it was not /that I could not. I think the greatest pleasure in life is in doing things others think you can not do.
