Turning chaos into creation

Since childhood, there have been many changes throughout my life. We shifted a few houses and lived in rented ones. There was no stability, yet my dad, as the only earning member of the family, managed the home completely.
My school days were some of the best moments of life that I could cherish forever. It reminds of the love that never fades and the bond that still remains. But then academics went on and all my friends went on different paths. Now we hardly met; only for birthday parties. Then came COVID and my whole life collapsed. I felt caged in a room with no outings and no gatherings. Half of my bachelor’s degree passed by during COVID. I missed many things about a regular college life. I didn’t have many friends during my bachelor’s degree, hardly one or two. After my bachelor’s degree I was confused about what to do next. Whether to continue with studies or go for a job, there was a lot of chaos in my head. But as per my dad’s wish, I chose to apply for a master’s degree. I searched for colleges, filled out applications and got selected in the course of Masters in Computer Science. The first year was good, everything went well. I became friends with half of my class and had a great connection even with my seniors.
But the next year taught me what life actually is.
My friends barely came to college and their attendance went down. But I stayed consistent in attending college. My connection with my friends reduced and I started feeling alone.
They connected with me only to take notes, which made me feel really bad. As a result I completely isolated myself.
Then one day the conflict that existed between my family and my aunt’s family for 6 years finally got settled, which brought in a lot of love and joy back into my life. This brought me out of my isolation.
After completing my master’s, I was again at a crossroads. Stubborn, clueless, and unsure of what came next. A random LinkedIn post shared by a friend led me to an application that helped me move forward & get selected for an internship.
This internship took me from being an introvert to an extrovert.
I became more confident with myself and in my communication. As a reward of my work, I was offered with the position of a Research Assistant.
One day our Organisation's Managing Director Mrs Deveeka Mahajan asked me to do Program For life. She told me that I will discover who am I through this. I chose to believe her and did the Program.
These 3 months of Program for Life broke my righteousness and expanded my perspective about everything. Today, I understand that every role I play, every relationship I hold, and even moments without roles have shaped me.
The most important learning I carry forward is to be authentic. To live with awareness, integrity, and compassion, while continuously creating meaning for myself and others.
Who Am I | Fulfilment and Compassion |
World I Am In | Love and Peace |
Legacy | Integrity and Freedom |
Purpose | To serve others with integrity and compassion |
Reason I Exist | To explore & inspire |
My Contribution | Service |
I Am | Infinity |
