Hustle

The Ice Cream boy(Age 13)

Imagine this: I'm 13, just making myself a delicious ice cream treat after school. Suddenly, my friends are like, 'Whoa, that looks amazing! Can we buy some?' Turns out, my homemade ice cream was a hit! I started making extra, and before I knew it, I had my very first little business, selling ice cream to my classmates. It wasn't a fancy business, but it taught me that even something simple can be a big success if people love it!

The Computer man

When I started engineering, my uncle gave me this super old, clunky computer. It was totally broken! Instead of giving up, I decided to fix it. It was like solving a giant puzzle, and I learned all about how computers work. Then, I had an idea! I teamed up with a local computer shop and started building custom computers that were way cheaper than the ones in stores. Everyone wanted them! It was awesome to see something I built help so many people get a computer.

Building Homes, Building Dreams 

After working in a big company, I realized I wanted to build something of my own. So, I found three awesome friends, and we decided to start a home improvement business. India's middle class was growing, and everyone wanted nicer homes. We worked super hard, and our business did really well! It was so cool to see how we could help people create their dream homes. Then, when the pandemic hit, things got really tough, and I decided it was time for me to move on to new adventures. 

The Seed of Togetherness

As a little kid, I was always buzzing with ideas, wanting to get everyone together. I loved making things happen with my friends and neighbors. Our street was like a big playground of fun projects. First, we started a group to celebrate the Ganesh festival with amazing decorations. Then, when Diwali came around, we built the coolest forts you've ever seen, like mini castles made of clay! And of course, we had epic cricket tournaments that brought everyone out to cheer. It was awesome! That little group we started? It's still going strong today, years later, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone."

The Spark of Student Spirit

When I went to engineering school, I found a new way to bring people together. I helped start a student organization for computer science students (CSESA). It was like a team, where we worked together to plan fun events like tech talks and cultural shows. Being the vice president was exciting because I got to help make sure everyone had a great time and learned new things. It was all about sharing ideas and supporting each other.

The Blooming of Green Change

After working in a big company, I felt a pull to do something different, something that would help my village. So, I took a break and spent five months working on making our village greener and helping save water. It was a big project! We organized thousands of volunteers to plant trees and learn about saving water. It was incredible to see so many people come together to make a real difference. And guess what? All that hard work paid off! Our village got greener, and the water levels got better. It felt amazing to know that we helped make our home a healthier and happier place.

Looking back, I realize that my whole life has been about bringing people together. Whether it's celebrating festivals, organizing student events, or planting trees, it's all about making our communities stronger and better. And you know what? It's the best feeling in the world!
