“As we grow older, we’re expected

to behave in a certain way...give in to

societal pressures and behavioural

conduct. And because of that, we lose

our true selves, turning into clones of

each other. I decided very early in life

that I won’t be that person. Which is

why ‘stay wild’ are the words I live by—

it sums up my life’s motto perfectly.”

“Passion and compassion are the two ingredients that are essential to a fulfilling life. To succeed, you have to believe in
something with such passion, that it becomes a reality. It is what drives excellence and brings in perseverance, the ingredients
you need to go that extra mile for exceptional results. Compassion, on the other hand, gives me a greater purpose to life. I
believe in being compassionate towards all beings, especially animals. Just because they can’t speak doesn’t make them less
deserving of food, a home, and a good life.”
