Part 2/2.

Then I started looking for some online courses and found one with the United Nations (UN), . Applied and tried two times but failed again. But this didn't discouraged me, I still wanted to take the last shot and then the third attempt, obviously the last attempt, tried with full control and passed.

Then I joined my Masters in International Studies in 2017 in Symbiosis School of International Studies, Pune. My class fellows would wonder how could a technology guy got into a humanities course.
Still I tried and managed to counter the differences set over me and moved ahead learning the nuances of foreign policy studies, diplomacy, negotiation tactics, and the dynamic nature of the geopolitical economy..

Well I myself introduced the term while I got a chance to intern with The Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi, the Ministry of Defence Think Tank. I was there associated with the Strategic Technologies center and worked on several technologies related to defence forces which I cannot disclose due to internal security concerns. But, who knew that after failing a number of times in SSB's, I will be interning under military men, met a lot of Strategic thinkers of the Indian community and government..

Ever since then, my strategies are all mine and I fully own it. Considering myself still an amateur won't hurt because the process is still continuing. Currently, I am working as a senior consultant with the Intellectual's Society For Entrepreneurship and Research Development (ISERDIndia). There are a lot of opportunities outside, you just have to find a connection as I made it through TechNomacy.
Stay motivated people and stay safe, together we have to transform the lives of the marginalized, and our societal growth rests on our innovations and analytical mindset. .

In the end, I would like to quote some self- written lines, "जःर्रे जःर्रे में छुपा है हौसले वालों का जोश, इसी मिट्टी में पैदा होते हैं सर्फरोष".

Part 1/2 :

Raghav Gupta (Business Analyst at GoDaddy)
I am not someone from an IIT or someone working at The biggest tech companies in the world, what i am though is a standard engineer who didn't want to be an engineer (i dont think anyone wants to be) or to be honest wanted to be nothing that had something remotely to do with Education.

I wanted to be a cricketer ( a dream almost every indian boy has) - wasnt meant to be obviously.
If not a cricketer i always thought i would be doing something related to maths( the only subject i loved) , but as most of engineers chose to be engineers - i was also sort of brainwashed into it.

So the journey began and after what could be the worst years of any teenagers life and another drop year where in I got admission in All boys engineering College ( understood i could do better and moved on) to another engineering college called Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (T.I.E.T) .

From the worst years of my life to arguably the best(till now).

I feel engineering colleges are not just meant to teach you engineering they are meant to let you explore what you want to learn, everyone in an engineering college is primarily an engineer but they are much more than that, some are painter, some are debaters, others are actors ,everyone has their own thing and i had cricket.

Believe me or not the first thing i loved about Thapar was the serene cricket ground we had and the lush cover around it, oh what a sight it was, on the first day of college itself i decided i would play here and i would lead this team hopefully and to this day one of the happiest moments of my life is the one i was selected into the team for the first time in my first year.

The journey began from a wayward bowler to a team player to a aggressive wicket taker to an even more aggressive captain later.

Besides cricket i had the chance to be a part of and to organize a lot cultural and film festivals which were also amazing experiences.

Nishant Piyush, (pursuing BTech and excellence in digital marketing.) . I am 20 year old pursuing a degree from IP university in Btech and started building my career in digital marketing at the age of 18 years. Coming from a middle-class household, three careers existed, a doctor, an engineer, or a lawyer so I chose the one that reflected my skills at the time. To become an engineer I went to study in Kota, Rajasthan to boost up my mind and help me get better grades to crack JEE Mains with flying colors. And those two years of my life helped me to reach where I am now. I got into IP university and started my dream, or say my family's dream to become an engineer but as soon as I entered college, my whole world changed. Earlier I was confined in an environment in which my parents raised me. Coming from Muzaffarpur, Bihar to an urban city Delhi changed my entire course of life. I met new people here and started living a new life. It started from missing my classes to end up with various backlogs, leaving me with nothing but a ni****ne addiction and worse. But luckily with gods will, I met new people who were very different from my previous group and who were doing so much better in their life.
Their perspective towards life inspired me and made me self analyze my life. I started believing that there is soo much more to life than just this, and there are not only 3 but a million other ways to earn money and achieve excellence, you only need to find your passion.
I developed my interest in digital marketing in the first year itself and started grinding myself into this industry. And after two years I am now renowned as a 'forever student' and 'Youngest Digital Marketer' in various Business magazines. I earned a name for myself. I had my own difficult times. I took a huge fall before I came this high and now I value what I have and will always work harder every day to reach new heights of success.

2/2 :-
Bored? Let’s taste something good! I am a good cook who can prepare delicious dishes like Samose, Litti-Chokha, Chhole Bhature, Kalakand, Paw-Bhaji, Pulav etc etc etc. haha…Don’t water the mouth but I must say, all these taste best in the world :P .

Key point here is, you should be best at your hobbies and I love to cook so keep exploring things always. Gyan ki batein! I also love to write, sing and dance madly. Sometimes madness is good unless it is not going to make anyone else mad at you :D

I think, I should wrap up here with some consolidated GYAAAN!! So, make up your daily routine very positive so that you feel energized always (For me I always wake up before Sunrise and do basic exercises and meditation), keep doing the things what gives you happiness and joy, think for the future but don’t get worried for it. Also, cherish the past memories but never ever get lost into it.

Basically I am trying to say, “Live the present to the fullest and enjoy” Be happy, keep others happy 😊 .a
