Knowledge is the ultimate goal
The Spark Within
As a member of an Indian immigrant family in Kuwait, I grew up hugely influenced by my father and his benevolent ways. As a child, I assisted him bring home sick and depressed people from labour camps, supporting their food and medical needs, until they were able to manage themselves. As I grew older, I helped him as he claimed the dead and abandoned as his own, completing legal formalities, before sending their mortal remains to families in home countries.
It was all this, that taught me to serve beyond the narrow confines of religion and language, inspired me to be an organizer of community service initiatives, leading to being acknowledged and elected as the Postgraduate Secretary at University College London Student Union.
Over the years, humanity has navigated the turbulent waters of the COVID pandemic, weathered the storms of floods, and confronted the shadows of war. Amid this intricate interplay of adversity and resilience, I find myself endowed with the privilege of having enkindled the lives of those embroiled in these crucibles of experience.
Hope springs in my soul, Hope sustains me...
