When I started my undergraduate studies, I used my scholarship money to buy a laptop. It served me seamlessly for nearly a decade. I almost thought I would graduate Harvard with it next year but a long partnership has come to an end tonight. Thank you for your service, BigMac! :)

It was this week, 9 yrs ago. I was a first-year student at Tufts who'd just made it to the finals of the $100,000 Entrepreneurship Challenge. I was young and nervous. Little did I know, I would go on to be the youngest 100k winner and the first to win it twice. #ThrowbackThursday

On the night of his DexSchool graduation, Darsh asked me to sign a cricket ball he had claimed 5 wickets with. This summer, Darsh received a call-up to play for a local club in England. On Saturday, in his debut game, Darsh wrote club history claiming 10 wickets! #ThisIsDexterity

In high school, I had the honour of representing our country across the world. Wherever I went, I carried the National Flag with me. In College, wherever I lived, the flag identified my room. Our Flag reminds us of our story, not of 75yrs but of centuries. Happy Independence Day!
