What does success mean to you?

Success is a part of our everyday existence. American Author Orison Swett Marden has summed it up very well: “Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” I couldn’t agree more. That is precisely how we achieve success and preserve it in our lives.

What is your biggest strength?

My family is my biggest strength. Without the continuous support of my family members, their encouragement and well wishes, I would have been nowhere. I owe all my achievements to them.

What’s your stress buster?

There are several things I do. I go to the gym regularly and work out for a couple of hours. It keeps me fit and helps me de-stress. I also love watching movies. In fact, there’s rarely a movie I miss — I try to keep myself updated on all the new releases. I also like to hang out with my friends and spend time with my near and dear ones.

God to you is?

God means the world to me — he means everything. God’s will dictates all the events happening around us. And if something does not happen, that too is God’s will. I am a God-fearing person and at the same time I love him — in all his forms and for all that he does. He is omni-potent and omni-present.
