About Me
Believer of "Nothing is Impossible" because it itself says "I'm"Possible"
Yeah, Nothing is Impossible & what it takes to get things done is "Patience", "Dedication", "Plan & Execution" finally "Never give up".
Born & raised in a small town in South India for 22 years. Things were going normal until my Bachelor's degree, by the way, I was a Mechanical Engineer.
And after my Bachelors I took two big decisions that changed my life.
1)I decided to go abroad for the Masters degree
2)To do something different from Mechanical.
After a Year of research, applications, process, etc. I have landed in Milano, the fashion & Economic capital of Italy. Everything is huge, new and in fact, I barely know a person.
I strongly remember that for the very first time I landed in Milano, I took a long breath & said to myself "No matter hurdles & struggles, you are going to make it and you have to make it"
There I go, started Masters in 2015, and graduated as Management Engineer in 2017. The day of graduation is a proud moment for my parents, friends & of course to me. 2 years sounds simple but been through many struggles.
Yeah, what it took was "Patience", "Dedication", "Plan & Execution" & "Never give up".
But I know every day is just a comma in life,
At Present
