It is my goal not only to become an accomplished professional, but also a conscious citizen and a responsible human being. I love socializing and interacting with people belonging to different cultures. I have worked productively with colleagues across different time zones and cultures. I believe cultural sensitivity, respect and empathy is the key to success in multicultural arena. I enjoy travelling and capturing the new places, people and their various practices.
The expedition to the UK was a great opportunity to not only interact, but also bring home with me a sense of responsibility to allow this workshop and the main motive behind it to prevail locally too. If nothing else, they enable us to be more responsible, thoughtful and more concerned where society comes in. The main motto: There exists a life beyond yours, there are problems bigger than yours, you ARE someone, and you can be something. My contribution to this network will not be limited, since I am somebody who believes and exercises empowerment, wherever and however I can. I am someone who would rather take a wrong informed decision, and accept responsibility for it, rather than stray in ignorance.
The expedition has been an amazing experience to explore and has also changed my impression of Britain.
