It’s so delightful to visit your alma mater and see what they’re building! Loved it.
Life has become so exciting.
8th June, 2020 – the first day of my corporate career and I was extremely nervous but excited at the same time. I still remember that I was heading to a new phase of my life and my parents were equally thrilled to see me work in an MNC. It's been 2 years today :D
I don’t have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sony Liv. The last movie I watched was Sanju in theatres. I have never been to a stadium to watch a cricket match.
Will the society accept me? 😢

To all the people in their 20s, remember this-
After a point of time, your qualification won’t matter but communication will.
Make sure to learn how to talk and make sure to talk to as many people as you can.
The more hands you shake, the more money you make.

From a suicidal attempt to becoming a Chartered Accountant, and inspiring the entire fraternity.

“Mom, I’m going to IIT!”
I called her in excitement!
And she was like, “Ab CA toh kar liya hai, IIT bhi karna hai kya? (You are a CA, are you studying for IIT too)" haha.
Despite coming from a Tier 3 city, she won Miss India Elite 2017. Not only that, she topped in 12th, went to the best commerce college of India (SRCC) and later got into one of the best B-schools in India (IIM-A).
Just because someone replies you instantly doesn’t mean they’re jobless!
Just because someone replies after a few days doesn’t mean they’re very busy!
It’s all about priorities :)
🌟 Meet Akanksha Choudhary, a true inspiration from a small city in Rajasthan.
🎓 From SRCC to scoring 98%ile in CAT for IIM Ahmedabad, her academic journey has been remarkable!
👑 She was, in fact, also Crowned Miss India Elite in 2017, she's a force to reckon with!
There are millions of people who are doing better than you,
Instead of getting jealous, start getting inspired!
One shift and you will see the difference it makes in your life.
From buying physical shares to buying them in demat account, from owning ancient coins to owning bitcoins, from purchasing wall painting to purchasing an NFT of digital art, and from asking directions to street vendors to typing location in google maps, life has changed a lot!
We don't get lucky! We work really hard and people think that we just got lucky!
Luck is directly proportional to the amount of hard work you put in! :)
My father told me
“If you are going to quit and come to join my business, then even I won’t take you here.
I want people who are adaptable to situations and not the ones who cannot adjust at times”
That hit hard.
The last time I had gone clubbing was 3 years back.
The last time I watched a movie was 5 years back.
The last time I watched TV was 6 years back.

Lol! :)

Good night 😅
If you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice.
Here are the 5 SACRIFICES I made in my CA journey that you can prepare for beforehand-
She didn't have money to go out with her friends and today she owns a Mercedes GLA worth Rs. 60 Lakhs which she bought at 21.
She had a broken MI phone in college, now she charges Rs. 3-5 Lakhs for a single reel
Mom called me a few days back and said,
“From seeing you in shorts to seeing you in blazers and a tie, I feel extremely proud of you!”
Couldn't have felt any better :)
Thing I’ve learnt from my:
1. Mom - how to stay calm and composed and not get angry even in the most difficult situations
2. Dad - how to stay disciplined and focused despite doing multiple things at the same time
Grateful for these small learnings!!
Some people succeed because they are destined to succeed.
Some succeed because they are determined to succeed.
Destiny is not your control, determination is.
Choose your path wisely.
