If this were me right after college, I’d probably only talk about the highs — trying hard to sound impressive. But that insecure version of me is long gone. Now, I just care about three things: friends, family, and doing work that matters.
When we prepare for JEE, all that matters is getting into the best college — it feels like a badge of honor. But everyone who’s been there will tell you: the real value isn’t the college, it’s the people you meet — the ones chasing something bigger than money.
Life doesn’t move in straight lines. Your assumptions change, your goals shift, and what you respect keeps evolving.
I joined NIT to avoid a tier-2 college and took up Metallurgy — not because I loved it, but because it was the best option at the time. Later, I moved into Data Science. It’s funny — I was always moving away from something. It took time to realize what I actually like: building things.
The two engineering projects I built at HSBC — internal tools that improved accuracy and speed — gave me more satisfaction than anything else I’ve done. That’s when it clicked.
Now I’m diving deeper into Data Science — not just to learn the concepts, but to truly understand and challenge them.
