Everybody has a role model in life whom they are inspired to follow. For me, it is the almighty. Amidst all the illusion, there exists one truth for me and that is my God.

He has given me the key to success, loving people, understanding people and helping people. I count success in terms of love and my aim is to spread love all around me.

Of course, hard work is necessary to survive in this competitive world but forgetting humanity in the process is not justified.

I work hard and believe in having a humane approach towards others for that is what is I have learnt through religious stories that I read every day. He never lets me commit any mistake for I believe all that I do is known to him, if not to anybody else. My God is my guide.

Along with him, my parents who brought me into this world have taught me that life is not a bed of roses. My father always says: “Life is not always about making lots of money; sometimes it is about living life, making adequate money and sharing infinite love.”

I cherish the fact that my life is being guided in such a beautiful way.
