I quote “be yourself, everybody else is already taken” by Oscar Wilde. I am a charismatic, aspiring, enthusiastic professional from the city of Gates – Aurangabad. I like to describe myself as precocious, keen, hardworking and determined. I enjoy fitness and adventure travelling. I enjoy taking up challenges to see where I stand in the crowd and introspect to change in order to stand out. I strongly aspire to change the world and to invent something new, of which I do not know now, but as I grow I shall realize. I live by the philosophy of learning something new from everybody we meet. I believe in doing good to people and respecting all living beings. Waking up each day to beat your own records and live each new day happier and better than yesterday!
