I have three key principles, encapsulated in three words: "Shiksha" (Education), "Pariksha" (Examination), and "Deeksha" (Commitment). "Shiksha" represents the importance of education and training. "Deeksha" signifies your level of involvement and commitment to it. Lastly, "Pariksha" is about self-examination and testing yourself. These three principles are the guiding mantras of my life.
