Practice, Passion & Patience
Outside world perceived my English skills as a sheer weakness, I tried my best to turn it into my core strength with Practice, Passion & Patience.
Few people know I had the honour of being the first Indian to teach Hindi as a Foreign Language to Americans at the University of Montana, United States.
During my college years in my hometown, I was frequently ridiculed, criticized, and sometimes ignored too, as coming from a Hindi medium background.
Starting from a young man who never spoke in English before, to become first Indian to teach Hindi at an American University, it took me years of self-training.

- Your weaknesses can be your greatest assets.
- Focus on your path, not the obstacles and fight through your failures.
