Engineering was just an excuse!

“Why did you choose Power Electronics Engineering?” asked our professor.

“To become a national level badminton player.” I replied while the entire class laughed in our first class of engineering.

Funny but true.

I chose my engineering college because it had a badminton court.

No other academic reasons.

Only one reason: I wanted to become a hardcore badminton player, and there was a chance of me representing myself in the nationals.

From my 1st year itself, I started taking writing gigs because I wanted to fund my badminton expenses all by myself.

No other writing reasons.

Pandemic happened, and my dreams changed.

Kept badminton as a hobby (more like a daily prayer for me).

The only thing I continued as something long-term was writing.

And I’m building a writing empire while making a living from social media marketing.

Happy Engineers Day ✌️
