All that matters is what we aspire and dream!
I was born in a village based Indian family which exceptionally allowed girls in their family to dare to dream. However, they were tweaked, modified or rejected at times but there were times when they were accepted too.
I grew up to see my grandfather being addressed as “Vakil Sahab” meaning “Mr. Lawyer” and being one of the oldest children of the family, I admired and aspired being a lawyer.
It was one of the dreams that was tweaked and questioned. It was also partially rejected and eventually modified.
I’d like to take you through the journey of my dream of being a lawyer to what I am today.
As a child we were often asked what did I dream to be and my answer would be a mixed response between being a fashion designer and a lawyer.
Only when I passed my eighth standard, we seriously evaluated my options and what I can become in my life. I was in a school which asked us to choose streams in ninth standard and options were commerce or science.
