To all the young folks facing career confusion, my advice is to follow your heart. Pursue what you're passionate about with full dedication.

“I didn't perceive any struggles; I enjoyed the journey. Financially, my family supported me, and friends pitched in when needed. Emotionally, family and friends were pillars of support. Never indecisive, I found guidance from teachers like Nadira Zahid Babbar ji and Darpan Mishra. Reflecting, satisfied overall, but feel I could have utilised time better. Life lessons teach us to be aware and make the most of this one life. Be smart about your choices,” he adds.
