I come from a defence background. My grandfather served in the Indian Air Force and my father served in the Indian Army. And that is why since childhood I had a strong inclination toward joining forces. Post my schooling, I tried for NDA (Air Force) twice but could not convert the opportunity as I was conference out and medical out in my first and second attempt respectively.
In my junior classes, namely seventh and eighth, I started playing chess at the state and national level. This made me skip a lot of classes for chess practice sessions and thus it made my base for higher mathematics very weak. With Mathematics being a practical subject that requires conceptual clarity and a lot of practice, I had to sacrifice it in my pursuit of playing chess. This ultimately led to the lowering of my grades and invoked a fear of the subject in my mind. This influenced my decision of not opting for mathematics in eleventh and twelfth standards.

Having ambitions in life is very natural for everyone. Ambition drives people toward their goals. It also helps in improving personal growth and development. Therefore, just like everyone else, I have big ambitions too. The ambitions of my life are to make my parents proud and to become a respected person in the society.
