On
18th of July, 1993 Early Morning at 5:00 AM During Birth Their Was
Flood with Heavy Rainfall, at the SBK Hospital in Sirsa, Haryana. A
nurse said that he was by the blessings of Shri Krishna and that I would
be a very unique child. I don’t know if I believe in it but it is the
one thing I was told by my parents about my birth that I remember.
We
lived at Rania Gate in Sirsa, I forgot remember the house number I have
vague memories of my playschool, I think it was called Kiden Garden
Play School and was right next to our street. After playschool I began
my formal education at A. V. International School, Sirsa. It was near
Gandhi Colony run by Aror vansh trust who believed in discipline and a
very high standard of education.
I can recall my first day and
the teacher who interviewed me, Ms. Deepika Arora, asked me to tell her
what my father’s profession was. And at that point my father had a
retail business, I had seen him dealing with home goods etc. Ms Arora
told me that I had very cute dimples and then asked me to kiss her. That
was my first kiss. Oh yes, and I was admitted to the school.
We
were given black and golden stars for our behavior and test results.
Five black stars meant lying across Mrs. Arora’s lap and getting spanked
three times, I think. Being quite naughty I was spanked a lot. I wish
the same treatment was meted out to me even now. Looking back one
realizes that what one thought punishment was actually quite
pleasurable.
Overall my early years of schooling were quite
wonderful. I had my share of spanking, and was often made to stand in
the corner with my finger on the lips. I was forced by my teacher to
learn how to swim by being thrown into the water and expected to survive
with gallons of water in my stomach, eyes and ears. Till date I hate
swimming and my teacher for subjecting me to this torture. But all said
and done I love all my teachers. They were very kind and sweet. I guess
the essence of one’s life is developed during these formative years. And
I feel I had the best formative years because of the nice teachers
Learning all along
Graduation in Pharmacy
After
getting so many awards in school I believed that I would get admission
in the best college of Haryana. I want to continue with science and I
hadn’t scored well in my favorite subject, English. This is one of my
life’s greatest mysteries because I thought my English paper had been
the best. In fact, boys who borrowed my notes on Drug Research and
studied Remington from me got higher marks than I did. It was also the
first lesson in life I learnt that one cannot be sure or confident about
one’s best efforts either. As sometimes your best is just not good
enough. And that is one truth I live by even today. One should not get
disappointed but try harder next time.
Anyway, I did not get admitted
to the so-called best institute and the principal was rather rude to me
when I showed him my awards and certificates. It was my first brush
with the realities of the world. You are nobody in the larger scheme of
things. The best student of the top school in fatehabad was not good
enough to be a part of the best college in Haryana.
I decided that if
I was not going to get the best I would try and make best of what was
being offered. I took admission in the first college that accepted me,
and it happened to be Lord Shiva College, PGIMS Health University, Rohtak.
After the completion of my Bachelor in Pharmaceutical sciences I continued my study in Master's of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Same College. In master's, I have done research work on the topic "Design, Development and Evaluation of Fast Dissolving Tablets of Montelukast Sodium". after compeltion of my master's, it was wonderful feeling when Prof. Jitender Singh (Principal LSCP, SIRSA) offered me for joining here on the post of Assistant Professor, that time was really wonderful for me and it was great opportunity to work there.
Dec. 10th 2017 was life changing date of my life when another person had entered in my life, my better half Ms. Priyanka.
