  • What advice would you give to your teenage self?

    Dear myself

    I write to you with utmost ardor, expressing my joy that you handled the experiences well. It’s also absolutely fine to score ZERO in Math and receive punishment for the same.

So, don’t limit yourself to your comfort zone but go beyond limits, as the sky is the limit.
