What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

June 2017: Asked my dad for a 1lac to get my registration done for my MBA (whole year fees), he told me he didn't have any, that phone call broke me to the core. I had to ask people around to lend me some money so that I can save my seat.
July 2021: Exactly 4 years later, I am making more than 1.5lpa a month, saw my new salary slip today and tears started rolling down.

To all those people who are suffering in any way. Belive me it gets better!
